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...
http://www.intel.com/design/PentiumD...ots/307507.htm
http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4...ots/303334.htm
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:

which proves my mechanical sample theory
Nice find cirthix, tho i do wish it were an Conroe XE.
While cirthix has obviously proven that they are not Conroe XE, this news article says that the Extreme Edition will be the first Conroe to launch!
I can't seem to find any other sources to verify this.. and it wouldn't make much sense if this was the case, but who knows. If it is true, it will certainly be an interesting launch. WR would surely fall in most everything.Quote:
Core 2 Extreme will actually become the first Conroe processor to launch, followed immediately by Core 2 Duo E6700 -- as outlined by Intel's most recent desktop roadmap.
i wonder if the mechanical sample has a coldbug :(
IIRC, the XE's don't launch until after the regular Exxxx conroes.Quote:

has one road map from Intel has shown the XE either speed or pricing??
cheers for cirthix
just can't get my head around how can these resistors work for filtering power supply
the source publisher must be too bored or too dumb to tell a difference between resistor or capactor
if you look close, you can see that they are 0ohm resistor packs. they dont do anything.Quote:

Really? Interesting I thought that the XE editon was coming later... Oh well. First is good with me too...Quote:

$2200.00 damn ! i hope thats the server chip. I was planning on selling my fx60 for like 800.00 and puting up anoter 2-300.00 to get a Conroe XE.
Conroe XE will cost $999 , Intel list price.
Thanks for the 411!Quote:

like to see a link on those prices since I haven't seen on listed on the XE or a release date.
any info would be nice

I've also seen something in the 1200$+ range, only makes sense, they are gonna have a tough time getting many at that speed, and the performance will certianly warrant a higher price tag (which is mroe than you can say about the current XE processors).

Hmmm, im pretty sure it was $999...
wasnt there also an e4300 1.8ghz 800fsb 2mb 65w for $200?Quote:
