Intel Pentium E2xxx : stepping M0

Pentium E2000 : stepping M0,from 27 July (http://www.matbe.com/actualites/16366/intel-pentium-e2000-stepping-m0/)(@matbe.com)

Sorry :D it's some kind of French there,but the point is that Intel is coming with a new stepping for their Pentium E2140 & E 2160...
TDP on extending HALT(C1E) will change from 12 to 8 Watts,and the maximum temperature will rise from 61,4 to 73,2 Celsius degrees...
It's seems a movement to limit OC...or not?...:shrug:

[Shintai]

It will improve OC limit. The temp change is the max limit change. I guess due to new packing.

[major_john]

Thanks,Shintai.
Good news,indeed ;)

[zerazax]

More maximum temperature = more voltage = more OC!:D

If anything, this means Intel is more committed to OC'in than ever

[Shintai]

On a sidenote, all the E6x50 and some 4000 series along with the quads are getting the same update. They are just G0 stepping tho.

[Neon Biker]

I hope these things will OC better, just like the E6x50 G0s, but the FSB wall will probably still be there in the 350-400MHz region, so unless you have a 10x multi it's very unlikely you'll see much of a difference. Based on this reasoning I suppose the E4400 will be the way to go (or E2180, but this one only comes out in August).

The question is: how can you distinguish between the new M0s and the old L2s just by looking at the box?

that's what I'm interested in, too :)

There is a SPEC number on the boxes that tells everything.

I bet it have better OC ability than L2 because its brother of G0 Step!
B2 Replaced by G0
L2 Replaced by M0

just read @ VR-Zone that they'll get a new SSPEC. but thanks anyway :)

M0 for these is based on the G0 stepping for the higher end parts (why they aren't all just listed as G0 makes no sense to me).

And yes, these should OC like a banshee (assuming no FSB limitations).

[freecableguy]

New stepping always equals new sSpec.

G0 = Conroe

M0 = native allendale




M0 likes voltage at least, but is nothing like G0.

Damn and i just ordered a 2140 lol

this is nice and all, but why cant intel come up with a solution to reduce and not increase my house temperatures? :p

[onewingedangel]

The new chips consume less power and output less heat than the older steppings - the raised max temp means that it can hit higher temps safely though, not that it will output more heat at a given speed.

They are...just because the tcasemax can reach 70C safely doesn´t mean it will. And the idle modes got lower power usage.

A mobile p-m/Core/C2D got a tcasemax of 100C and the P965 102C. They must use more power than a quadcore then eh? :p:

[erwinz]

posts some results please.. :)
