Found here
Source states that this is Conroe XE 3.33GHz rev.BO. But check out those caps on backside. Totaly different from what`ve seen on Conroe
doesnt look like any lga775 chip i'm familliar with either
those are 0ohm resistor packs.
in retail versions they are likely to be either not there or replaced by caps. they are probably still testing frequencies and have not yet determined the values of the caps.
very early chip
edit: could be a mechanical sample
Meron is 479mPGA. Woodcrest ? Hmm - might be.
Intel socket test tech surely doesn`t sound like intel confidential for ES :D
cannot even believe that.
What do you mean by that ?Quote:

XE's will start shipping for reviews in 1 month..:D
"Intel Socket Test Technology" makes it sound like its a CPU for testing out a new socket rather than something else.
However it's undoubtedly an LGA775 cpu of some form (assuming no photoshop, of course), just from counting the dots. Do 30x33 (perimeter) - 15x14 (central cap area) leaves you 780, -5 for pins that aren't there, we have the magic 775.
But without markings, it could easily be an original processor for testing out LGA775 or something, maybe a Northy or Prescott. Nothing to suggest its a Conroe, certainly not a Conroe XE.
Maybe Kentsfield - upcoming quad-core ?Quote:

are you sure ?Quote:

or have a FSB wall :)
That is what I am thinking, how says it a CPU?:confused:Quote:

this has been bugging me and i'm pretty sure that's what it is, but can't find any pics to verify.
What's a mechanical sample? One that works, but doesn't do the speeds hoped for later in the products life? e.g. the 800mhz Hammers.
I think my theory was right...

as far as i can make out, all it does is to check the connection between motherboard and processor is working...put simply.
:p: the web is not credibleQuote:

If it was merom it shouldn't have a IHS
And should have pins. :DQuote:

man if that is conroe whoooooopeeeeeee
I think it's a mechanical sample.:stick:
