simple test of new Conroe-L

the message is from china:

800FSb,2.4G,512K L2

super pi 1M 32.657s

the performance is very like the single core K8,and it's very very cool.

i think it can be easy OCed upto 5G.

**lowfat** · 11-01-2006, 09:59 PM

ouch those Pi's are horrible. The 512 of l2 really seems to hinder the CPU.

**LagunaX** · 11-01-2006, 10:04 PM

Ugh, those superpi times look like an opteron 165/170 at 2.7-2.8ghz!

Get Coolaler to put his tuniq tower 120 on it and see how far it can go on air!

Is this similar to the hyped E4300 that's supposed to come out early next year? Doesn't really look that interesting.

yes same thing.

You still need to know OC potencial & price to see if it is good or not.

maybe someone could test it at 1066 FSB to see how the diference in cache affects super pi

**LagunaX** · 11-01-2006, 10:43 PM

don't think it's the same. This one is a single core processor. The e4300 is a dual core with 800fsb. multi is 9 on the e4300, so should be a decent cheap 3.6ghz overclocker...

**caater** · 11-02-2006, 01:28 AM

i think conroe L has also reduced cache assiociativity, like all celerons.
and that's the main thing hindering perfomance.
e4000 series are still using allendale core.
there's going to be even 1M singlecore conroe version, it will sale under "pentium" brand

**MrDeeds** · 11-02-2006, 02:13 AM

Its not so bad considering the cpu is supposed to be under $100

I hope its not.

I thought the only difference on the E4300 was the 800 FSB but he L2 cache was the same as the e6300? If that ends up being the case it will be a great clocker.

Actually come to think of it I don't think this is the same chip because the e4300 is rated at 1.8 Ghz (with a 9x multipler---> 9 x200)

No it is not:
Conroe-L =
Single core
800Mhz FSB
512KB L2 cache

Core 2 Duo E4300 (1.80GHz/533MHz FSB/2MB L2 cache)

**lawrywild** · 11-02-2006, 08:56 AM

This is celeron's replacement.. why are you expecting amazing spi times???

**Shaotai** · 11-02-2006, 09:18 AM

It's like Conroe-"L"ight or Conroe-"L"ame.... LOL

**ted3** · 11-02-2006, 09:18 AM

Conron! Only 512kB cache, is it an AMD in disguise?? =)

Seems like Intel is holding back too much, with 1MB L2 this would have been interesting for budget gaming. Doesnt really matter for me how well this Conron clocks, the cache will be too limiting.

my bad, sorry and thanks for clarification

**mzs_biteme** · 11-02-2006, 10:16 AM

I dont think it's all that bad considering it's the "new" Celeron, which means $50~80 range... And with 266FSB, getting SuperPI times comparable with high-end X2's, could be a bargain. Need some more benches though (3Dmark anybody

)

**Revv23** · 11-02-2006, 10:36 AM

200 fsb is cool, for those with budget boards that dont like over 400 we could see some monster budget OC's.

**Gam3Ra** · 11-02-2006, 10:48 AM

That is VERY good result for 1core 512L2 nonOC'd
Run your's Conroe's on 2.4ghz and you will see ~20+ SuperPI's (2cores 2/4MB L2 shared)
With overclock (this will be monster with that FSB and little L2, small temperature = very good OC) this CPU will hit good PI, and if it's 80-100$ range will be good (A64 killer).

**nn_step** · 11-02-2006, 10:53 AM

with reduced Caching that is down right horrible performance

**blank** · 11-02-2006, 11:17 AM

is the entire difference between this chip and an e6600 just cache?

**nn_step** · 11-02-2006, 11:19 AM

And one core
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ad.php?t=95021
21sec vs 32sec. That is one hell of a difference. Conroe is apparently desperately tied to its cache

**mr_knowitall15** · 11-02-2006, 11:26 AM

wow that is crippled... On a brighter note, with higher multis, and only one core, surely there can be some seriously sick OCs out of these.

**TaPaKaH** · 11-02-2006, 11:55 AM

x12 multi should be good for OC

Any more benches ?

**Phosphate** · 11-02-2006, 01:15 PM

When does the E4300 debut? Should be pretty soon right?

I want someone to get an ES...

**chrisf6969** · 11-02-2006, 01:29 PM

He needs to Overclock It Now!!

On a side note, it looks at though the new "Celeron" is going to be called Pentium!? LOL

Kind of funny!
