Just sharing a CPU-Z of Intel Core 2 Duo E4300

[ferds]

no info about vcore.

[lordkelmain]

This chip, bundled with a decent motherboard, would be excellent for a testing rig.

Does it really have to go on sale so late though? \=

Testing? Hell I'm going to use this in my main rig
Looks very nice, but wondering about Vcore too.

Intel still have to shift existing Netburst stock, that means a ton of 8xxD's

[Phosphate]

I can't wait for this CPU. Hopefully he didn't need a crazy Vcore to get that OC though.

[death metal]

Hey all, took me some time to remember I have this thread *yay*.

Anyway, the problem I had with Bad Axe 2 is nothing serious. It's a pre-production board so I really think I'll encounter some problem. The issue is that the OC will not "stuck" sometimes, but sometimes, it's working.

As for vCore, I use 1.55v.

This will be my final update since I have already dis-assemble the rig.

Intel Core2 Duo E4300, the next Core 2 Duo processor to be released is now scheduled on 21 Jan 2007. Its market is set to value, such that it has 800 MHz FSB only, though, according to the report from manufacturers, most of their mother board could able to overclock the processor to 1066 MHz FSB without any change to voltage.

Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 is the first native 2MB L2 Conroe at L2 Stepping. The processor is running at 1.8GHz, 800MHz FSB and 9X multiplier. Without adding voltage, 1066MHz FSB is mostly achieved and runs really stable. At 1066 MHz FSB, the clock speed is further enhanced to 2.4GHz. Compared with Core 2 Duo E6400 (2.13GHz/2MB L2/1066MHz FSB), this can provide a 10-15% higher performance, but the price is much cheaper, say Core 2 Duo E4300 @ $163 vs Core 2 Duo E6300 @ $183.

Sounds too easy to me, it could bring back the days of phantom rebranding by endsellers like happened with 486sx 25/33

You can't buy it yet right? When did they say they would get this e4300 in?

Right.

They say january 21st, but maybe some days/weeks earlier/later.

[squilliam]

What, if any are the major significances of
"Intel Virtualization Technology (VT) and
vPRO Technology"?

Also, What is the point in DDR3?
Our procs are going to be limited
to 333 on stock, 450 max, which
can be paired with DDR2 1000.
Buying anything higher would be
utterly pointless as you would
reach a bottleneck with your proc.

[death metal]

Right.

They say january 21st, but maybe some days/weeks earlier/later.

Looks just about right, if it comes by that time, I guess many OCers on the cheap will be happy ...

yesss!!! that would include me..

really looking forward for this processor..

[Dave DEF]

Right.

the link I posted have some shops stating that it will be available on january 4th! that would be awesome!

[skootyloops]

Might pick one of these chips up. They definatly seem promising with those overclocks.

[Phosphate]

Jan 4th would be nice. The date I saw was January 21st for the e4300 release.

P.S. Apparently these are 800 FSB but apparently they will do FSB 1066 on stock voltage...LOL.

Hopefully the max CPU frequency is similar to the e6300/e6400 because not only do you get a 9x multipier but supposedly this CPU will be $20 less than the E6300

[Demo]

Nice results, If this e4300 could always do 400fsb 9x or 8x with 1.450 ~1.500 volts then its a really good buy!

Here's the final update:

CPU-Z Validation: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=149868


A friend sent me a review link over at XTreview for those looking for benchmarks and performance score: http://xtreview.com/review161.htm

A friend sent me a review link over at XTreview for those looking for benchmarks and performance score: http://xtreview.com/review161.htm

They got 2.93 Ghz with stock HSF and stock Voltage....not bad.

The only thing that bothers me is the reduced amount of "caps" on the back of the e4300--->http://xtreview.com/images/photo.jpg ...We shall see how good this one Oc's

[Demo]

still at 1.500 volts?

[Phosphate]

I saw a post somewhere else speculating that these were just E6600 (or E6700 in the case of the E4400) that had 2 MB of their Cache damaged and therefore disabled. To me this means they should OC just like any other E6600.

The disabled L2 cache theory may be true when you consider these are true Conroes (not Allendales)

I'm not sure how VT or VPro work but if one of the 2 MB caches was disables I would assume that would make VT unusable as well.

[Hutch]

103% oc, now that's just terrible

I bet these chips have a lot more left in them too. I'm assuming this was done on water at best. I wish intel did stay with the 800mhz FSB when they went to allendale, we'd have even better oc's with them.

This chip is gonna be the chip where we are going to see some ridiculous overclocks. I'm gonna say 150% oc atleast on a P965 board or a nvidia 6-- board with Ln2/D.I/Phase + extreme voltage.

[ziddey]

Anyone else notice something interesting about the stock screenie?

To OP, I know you said you're done with this thread (which got fueled almost solely by other posters haha), did you have c1/eist speedstep disabled in bios? I wonder this because cpuz showing no range for cpu. This makes sense if you have eist disabled, but otherwise, I don't know how comfortable I am with 9x. I mean sure it's great in that you should be in 1066 strap all the time, but there's always that nasty hole in the upper 300's that could really hamper a max oc when on 9x since 9x400=3600, and sometimes it's just a whole lot easier to achieve 8x450=3600 or possibly 7x514=3600 where the strap change performance penalty gets easily negated by supreme fsb.
