CPU/Mobo Intel Pentium Dual Core E6300 Preview

Wow I think Intel's marketing department didn't bother checking up wikipedia for the list of E6xxx processors. Was the Conroe E6300 so bad that they have forgotten it already? :D
 
other E6300 was not conroe, it was allendale too. Conroe = 4mb chips, E6320, E6420, E6600 and above. Allendale's = 1, 2, 3MB chips. Wolfdales = 6mb chips.
 
I'm a lil confused

Didn't an E6300 already exist? and AFAIK it was the new architecture and not pentium..

They replaced the old 65nm one, with a 45nm pentium? How stupid is that? or was it done due to the E5200 success?

Here's some more info - Intel® Pentium® Processor E6300 (2M Cache, 2.80 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB) with SPEC Code(s) SLGU9

If these are priced at ~4.3, I think the older 64nm E6300/6400 were only a bit more expensive and much more powerful, were'nt they? Are the 65nm ones not being manufactured any more?

Click to expand...

I thought Wolfdales = 45nm dual cores..
My E5200 is a Wolfdale...
 
To end the confusion :

the E6300 (45 nm) does support VT.

Don't be confused by the Pentium or Core2 moniker.

Processors (formerly Wolfdale)

Wolfdale refers to the 45nm manufacturing for these processors. The lesser variants which Intel labels as Pentium Dual cores have lower cache and don't have SSE4. They probably have the same architecture but are of a lesser binning/fsb and intentionally castrated :P
