Pentium E2000 : stepping M0

[lay-z-boy]

For all you guys looking for a value dual core or some xtreme value overclocking then this could be for you.

This can only be good news as with reduced idle SS thermal output and higher thermal limit = better overclocking and higher stable overclocks.

*edit*

VR-Zone have some info too

this is getting overwhelming, too many intel processors out now

... and getting cheaper too

Is the Pentium brand still current in France then?

I think the Pentium E (2xxx series C2Ds if I remember correctly) is officially the replacement to the Pentium D series of CPUs.

Yup, my 2160 came badged as a pentium... but it sure doesn't perform like one!

You'll be happy to know they're releasing Conroe L (Celerons) in single core, 1mb cache flavour 800mhz FSB and at least up to 2.8ghz.

For once Celerons will be good for gaming!

The current batch of conroe - celerons are super chips, overclocked on the stock cooler (which is half the size of the standard c2d heatsink) you can hit around 3ghz+, faster than an overclocked fx57

These should clock better than the current batch of e2xxx series cpu's, will be getting one to replace my ageing oc'd 930d server

Should have done that long ago, i think i feel a nice celeron flavour media centre under the tv coming on.

Long Live Intel

I meant 2.8 as stock before overclocking, great for a low end rig... 14x multi even a terrible board and cheap/old ram would do 3.5ghz. Certainly what I am thinking for a lan rig - stick my old 7800GT in there when I upgrade and would make a nice little system.

well i've got a E2140 powering my Vista MCE and it zips along on it.

dead pleased with it

Looks good to me, but come on intel bring on the budget quads.
