Wikpedia is reporting:

Model Number Frequency L2-Cache Front Side Bus Multiplier Voltage TDP Socket Release Date Part Number(s) Release Price (USD)
Core 2 Duo E4300 1800 MHz 2048 KiB 800 MT/s 9x --- 65 W LGA 775 Q1 2007 --- $163

Hmmm ... copy/paste didn't work all that well but you get the idea. :rolleyes:

So whats the down side for no support for "Intel Virtualization Technology"? No Intel vPro doesn't seem to be a problem, since its geared toward IT staff managing desktops. :confused:

I definitely want one of these e4300s.

Memory DIMM quaility shouldn't be as much of an issue with this compared to e6300 on the DS3.

his nick(noob-ftw) is not for fun i guess :D

Its 100% a Allendale with lower FSB - the Questions is: Why would Intel produce lowFSB C2Ds? the 6300 and the SingleCores are cheap enough for BudgetOEM-Systems and we all know that Allendales DO like hiFSBs:p:

Only realistic Option is that Intel likes to be competitive with the upcoming X2-3600(and maybe new Semprons) in Performance AND Price AND HTPCcompatibility - or they just keep testing/developing

@death_metal: Whats the default Vcore? try Everest...

No idea of price and release date. Anandtech/DailyTech has an "old" article up about this CPU: http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=3372

Believe it or not, there's still more "Conroe" madness

The official embargo for most things Conroe came and went, but it appears there is still one more card Intel hasn't played yet. The newest Intel roadmap has added a bin-5 Conroe processor, the Core 2 Duo E4300.

E4300 is clocked at 1.8GHz and has two megabytes of L2 cache. Unfortunately, the processor lacks VT and vPro extensions, and also runs at an 800MHz front-side bus. Intel has not revealed pricing for the new processor yet since it is not to be announced until Q1'07, but considering the fact that the 1.86GHz E6300 is slated for $183, the E4300 may be one of the greatest bargains yet.

Intel's addition of a bin-5 processor is not totally surprising, as virtually every Intel processor architecture before has had at least five bins. However, with the news of a 2x256KB L2 Athlon 64 X2 3600+, a low-bin Conroe makes even more sense than ever before. The Athlon 64 X2 3600+ is slated to become an OEM component only, but the E4300 appears to be a retail-ready processor, meaning we should see it in store shelves come Q1'07.

The article is a bit dated so you may want to Google more for any changes or leaked info on the net.

Death metal, Can you overclock this for us?

I'm thinking despite the 9x multiplier it may not do as well as a e6400 or even a e6300.

However I am very interested because with this CPU the possibility exists for me to get a 100% overclock with even a bargain bin DDR2 2 GB kit.

What's the diff between this and an E6300?

One difference @ least is the bus Speed 800 (E4300) vs 1066 (E6300)

What does that mean? Are you saying that the Bus of 800 won't really affect OCs that much?

I wonder if these chips being lower binned means they just won't do as well as higher binned allendales? Then again something tells me they will kick as anyway.

i'm saying there will be noticable performance difference between 1.8GHz allendale CPUs with 800/1066 bus (9*200 or 7*257)

yeah binning is what we'd all like to see but OP is just leading us on and i hate this thread because of it........if you have something to say say it if you don't keep it to yourself.......that's how i see it........if NDA is in order well just tell us you cannot answer the damn questions rather than avoid answering all together..........that's how :banana::banana::banana::banana: started with s7.....it's just confusing for lots of people on the forum so there need to be some kind of rules or understanding between us :)

i'm saying there will be noticable performance difference between 1.8GHz allendale CPUs with 800/1066 bus (9*200 or 7*257)

So basically max memory speed will be down I'm sure right? But maybe CPU clocks will still be good.

You know what I am saying? I would expect that a e4300 at say 3.4 GHz (assuming it can get to 3.4 Ghz) won't b e able to hit the same max memory speed as a e6300 at 3.4 Ghz. But heck I'm pretty noob so I could be wrong.

ever thought about visiting a psychiatrist? :stick:

As everyone may already know 1333MHz FSB Intel Core 2 Duo (including E6850, E6750 and E6650) will be releasing in Q3 2007, Intel just announced more choices to customers. Besides the 3 models mentioned above, Intel will also release Core 2 Duo E6390 in Q3 2007, E4200 and E4400 in Q2 2007. Core 2 Duo E6390 targets to the market of E6300 and E6400, and the two members from Core 2 Duo E4000 family are designed to replace Netburst Pentium D.

When compared with the specification, we may find that Core 2 Duo E6390 actually is a value version of Core 2 Duo E6300 and E6400. With the same speed of Core 2 Duo E6400 at 2.13GHz, and also 2MB L2 Cache and 1066MHz FSB, everything is the same in Core 2 Duo E6390, but the availability of Intel Virtualization Technology (VT) and vPRO Technology. These functions are disabled in Core 2 Duo E6390.

On the other side, the two members from Core 2 Duo E4000 family to be released in Q2 2007 include E4200 and E4400. These are running at 1.6GHz and 2GHz respectively, and same as the most of Core 2 Duo, these models contain 2MB L2 Cache and support 1066MHz FSB. Together with E4300 which will be released on 21 Jan 2007, Core 2 Duo E4000 family aim to replace Netburst Pentium D.

However, ironically, at the time we are still waiting for Intel Core 2 Duo E4300, Intel has announced the out-of-production schedule to manufacturers. The last order of Core 2 Duo E4300 will be in Q4 2004 (should be 2007), production terminates in Q1 2008 and last shipment is Q3 2008.

Maybe its you that needs to go see the psych, I heard it can do wonders for gullable fools such as yourself:LOL: I too have a new chip, its called the Optakron Retardikus 5000 and it clocks really well, will have results for you real soon.

With DDR3, overclocking that 333 FSB could be interesting.

I actually reckon they will make 3ghz really easy with hardly any increase in the vcore.

11-15-2006, 09:46 PM

I stole away some time last night to play with the processor before I went to bed (I am too tired :(). This overclock is done very quickly without tweaking or paying attention to other details. No benchmark, sorry guys.

I also didn't use the BadAxe2 to OC, I am having some quirks with OCing on BadAxe2 so I switched to Abit AW9D-MAX.

This is a 50% overclock, this should be more than enough headroom for some mild OCer but not enough for the more extreme. By the way, this is not the maximum OC, this just the OC I tried during a one and a-half hour period of stress testing. Running all on stock cooling, voltage, timing, etc.

What is wrong with you the guy is posting a validated link to an Allendale with 2mb of cache and multi of 9X how the hell on earth he can fake something like that and he is an old member much much older that you why he wona ruin everything, post a fake image and run away so next time please if you don?t like the thread don?t post just leave it alone

Thanks for posting your results. Just curious as to what sort issues you ran into with your Bad Axe 2. I am just putting a new Kentsfield build together and am torn between using this board or the P5W-64WS. Overall, what are your thoughts on the Intel board?

death metal

11-20-2006, 03:17 AM

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.

1.55v is quite alot to achieve that clock, 6300 can do 3ghz stock volts.

Don't think so, because:

1.55v is quite alot to achieve that clock, 6300 can do 3ghz stock volts.

1.55v is for 3.5GHz or 95% overclock. iirc, 3GHz is reached easy on stock voltage. You have to know that once a CPU reached a certain OC that requires going beyond stock voltage, it is almost always a steep vCore pump to push for more Hz or clock frequency.

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.

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:woot:

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

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.

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.

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.

Demo, 1.6v.

Hutch, this is on stock cooler.

Phospate, imo, Chipzilla have a different wafer for this CPU so it's really designed to have a 2MB L2 cache. I can't be sure though.

ziddey, the stock screenie and even the OCed screenie doesn't show the 6-9 multi range since I only used the CPU-Z validation website's generated image rather than an F5 or Alt-Prt-Screen in Windows. I thought that this is a pretty obvious image generated by the validation site since all the fonts, and color schemes are the same compared to other CPU-Z generated screenie from other submissions. In any case, I never disabled anything on the BIOS such as C1E or EIST.

As for other combo of multi and FSB, that is not my goal. I have posted it on my blog. Anyway, I can't do much above 415FSB because I am limited by my RAM. If you haven't noticed, I am using a DDR2-533MHz Micron memory. Asking it to work at DDR2-800MHz@CL4 with 2.3v is good enough for me. I don't want to pump any higher than 2.3v vDIMM since it's very hard to get this kind of RAM should I kill this. Besides, I don't expect the board to go higher than 415FSB without hardmod anyway or replacing the stock NB cooler.

I think the price is high because the demand is higher than the availability. when the first "run" is over I guess the prices will drop to about 130€/$, which will be a great deal.

Man I'm stuck between a rock and a hard spot. Just exploded my e6400. Can't decide whether to buy another e6400 or to wait out for the e4300. I don't feel comfortable enough with e6300 because of dubious motherboard and uncertainty in high fsb required. Kind of disappointed too since I got a steal on a e6400 retail for $190 off ebay nib.

Hello I am trying to build a new computer soon, and want to overclock E4300 stable 24hr/7day/365days. I will also buy Gigabyte DS3. What would be a good OC? I looked at many E4300 pictures and past posts and I like 3.15ghz with 1.34V CPU. I would like to aim for around there too. Maybe 3.2ghz >< Would I also have to increase other voltage to get the 3.15-3.2ghz? (Northbridge (MCH) voltage, FSB voltage) I don't want the fastest overclock, just a stable one :)

Another question I have is about RAM. If we did 3.15ghz, then FSB would be 350mhz. Then I can either do 2x in BIOS for DDR2-700, or 2.5x in BIOS for DDR2-875? I would like to find DDR2-800 RAM that can do 875 with 3-3-3-9 or timings, but would that be possible^^;; I also do not really want to increase the DIMM voltage.

Thanks in advance!
