E2140 G0 stepping = neutered conroe?

[demiurge]

I know the E2140's are not supposed to have G0 stepping, but check this out......

Unfortunately I hit FSB wall around 440, missing out on the 2GHz overclock.

spec number is SLALS, which is not even recognized on intel's own website.
batch L719B.

On closer inspection the caps on the underside of the chip are set out the
same way as a G0 conroe instead of an allendale, so I think these are just
neutered conroes.

wow over 400 fsb thats amazing that rez must be way better than the Mx

That's a nice OC mate mine was stuck at 410FSB but I was already happy with the 100% OC... too bad they didn't leave extra cache too

G0 efficiency is improved- Clock per clock you should get better numbers than the M0?

Where did you get the chip? My own E2140 does 437 under water so not much of an difference, but every little helps

@Teh neutered core part, yeah it pretty much is...
Intel for some reason changed the name of all the lower end Conroes to "Pentium Dual Core", not to be confused with the heatsink-melting Prescotts.
Really retarded imo.
If you get an E2180, it will also show up as a "Pentium Dual Core".

I have G0 E2140 with me now
did a rush bench few days ago,
stock vcore (1.264v) 3.6GHz Super Pi 1M passed


changed to crucial 10th anny later on,
3720MHz achieved. Super Pi 1M again.
Sorry no 32M or orthos yet,
will try them soon.
