R0 and G1 cores are out

[Charles Wirth]

Updated N0 core on Prescott can be found on current 3.6Ghz P4, not sure why only this model to start. With a 18x multiple this might be good oc chip.

Top end Celeron 3.33 will have new G1 core, 25x multiple and small cache. Has anyone posted one of these yet?

Info on the steppings? I assume the Celly is Cedar Mill and the 3.6 is a new cedar mill? or is it a vT capable Pressy?

[Charles Wirth]

These are still .09nm chips

These are still .09nm chips

I guess these are the vT enabled prescott chips that never came out....

[Savage70]

So what is supposed to be so special about these cores? Is the R0 stepping a branch of the Cedarmill or something totally different? What does vT stand for?

[zir_blazer]

VT is the abbreviation of Vanderpool Technology, Intel codename for its virtualitation feature as Pacifica is for AMD.

[Savage70]

Does this allow for better overclocking or the chip to perform better? Is it new technology? Are these chips hard to find? Can it be compared to the or perform better than the Cedarmill?

[Savage70]

Well i just got my hands on a R0 core chip for a good price. Hopefully it will be here Friday. I will let u guys know how it performs.

Hey fellow Xtremers whats up? WellI finally got my 662. I dont know if all 3.6 gigs have unlocked multipliers, but this one does (12-18) In BIOS it asks if u want to enable VT. Once enabled it cant be turned off. I can only get it to 4.3 gigs stable Otherwise I dont see a difference when compared to my 650. Unless I just dont know how to open up for maximum performance. Well time to get another cpu. So the question is dual core or Cedarmill for SLI setup?

[Sloppy]

\Once enabled it cant be turned off.

That's weird, are you sure?

[Welz]

clear cmos to turn VT off?

drop your multi to 14 and crank the fsb... much better performance

[Charles Wirth]

You can enable or disable VT when OC fails and it resets you back to stock speed and you have to press F1 to enter bios. You will see the VT option changeable.

[Savage70]

Yeah VT selsection is grayed out in BIOS. By turning it off will it give me better performance? Also when I first booted it up the multiplier was set at 12. I am not sure how to change it to 14. In my BIOS it as CPU LockFree(Enabled,Disabled,and Auto)
