Since Intel launched their Core 2 Duo new generation processors, did get
great recommend in mid-range and high-end market, build up with brake
through performance and 65nm tech.

But in the mainstream and entry level side, Intel still use old P4 architecture
to beat AMD K8 series, they also prepare to launch the single core Conroe-L
for new product lines.

In the recent days, we already saw few Conroe-L test, like single core 2.4G
512k version test exposure.

Now I also got 2 Conroe-L CPU, they are 2.8G 1MB and 2.4G 512K version. I
just teal some free time in these 2 days to try some Conroe-L 2.8G
performance and overclock result.

The back of the CPU:
Up left side is Conroe-L 2.8G 1MB, down right side is E6300 1.86G 2MB.

2 of my different 975X boards can not support Conroe-L, maybe have to wait
a new BIOS to fix, ASUS announced their P5B new BIOS last week to support
Conroe-L, and my MSI P965 Platinum also can run Conroe-L smoothly.

Super PI and CPU MARK99,
Take a reference test number: Conroe-L 2.4G 512K is about 31 seconds.

The default test of Conroe-L test got great numbers indeed, 1MB version
seems will become the standard version, 512k version might define as Celeron
segment. But no matter Single-Core or Dual-Core, the performance all be
great with new architecture.
The overclocking test will coming soon!!

The performance did have great enhance after overclock,
because it’s Single-Core, so the temp. is lower the Dual-Core processors.

Take a break and wait for further extreme testing.

Hopefully this will be a nice bang for the buck cpu if it overclocks well hehe :). 200MHz bus means a lot of overclocking headroom :D.
 
welcome TE WWM :clap:

awesome review :D this has some serious potential for overclocking :ohyeah:
 
the best part is that you care pair this baby up with a el chepo motherboard and achieve great clock speeds.... ofcourse the memory performance and SuperPi 1M scores will suck... but god it will be a good budget gamers dream come true. am sure these should do 3.6G+ with little effort.

lets see....

but as always, nice and detailed review....

and now something which must be new to you: Reps up :)
 
Great review there..Reps Added!!:hap2:

OT: Just curious, why do you include that "fancy mobile accessory" (struggling to find the right word ;)) in all your review pics...Any special significance? :)

Upgrade the VGA to 8800GTX with default setup testing:

Keep the best in the last, the limited of this Conroe-L.
So far the 65nm Dual Core Conroe overclock limited is about 3.5G to 4GHz
due to the different produced week and quality.

When Conroe-L coming out, I think the frequency won’t be that high, might
be under 2GHz for Intel’s entry product segment, Conroe-L have great
availability with overclock, the temp. is also lower then Dual Core version, so
I think the overclock range is also about 3~4 GHz!

This time the test with many pictures, because the performance is great
when in the high overclock frequency. Believe or not, Conroe-L will push the
single Core processors into a better generation, let’s wait and see!

Announced some coming up test from Windwithme here!
