Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 M0 Stepping CPU Review

jmke · 16th October 2007, 11:04

When Geeks Computer Parts lists Intel E4300, E4400, and E4500 within $1 difference in price ($124), I could not help to request the E4500 for a spin. Intel E4500 is with new M0 stepping rather than previous L2 stepping. The new stepping has lower range of CPU voltage (Vcore). Since not many reviews are out with this particular processor, I thought it would be interesting to find out how the new stepping differs from the old.

Enjoyed the review. Seems like you just about can't go wrong with any of the C2Ds. I personally am waiting to test an E4600 on an ASRock Conroe865PE motherboard. I believe that the 12 multi will match up perfectly with that board. The board has a FSB limit at or near 300 and with the higher multi speeds in excess of 3.0GHz should be attainable...paired up with some TCCD or BH-5, that should make for some interesting comparisons to newer chipsets.

I am also very interested in finding out more about this:

A spreadsheet with built-in Macro that calculates VID locations depending on varies default vcore to the desire increase. I know most enthusiasts will use motherboards that will have at least some sort of vcore increment, but most low end boards don't and some PC users including myself are "cheap" or "challenging" enough not to have one. This table will sure come in handy. I will leave a link at our forum for those who are interested in keeping a copy; many thanks to the guy who wrote the table.

Is a link available?

Not for me...I'm I doing something wrong here?

Yes, please note that the reply is addressed to me, "Reefa_Madness".

Perhaps there is a minimum post count to access that area?

E4600 with half the cache?

Actually, this is the one that I had in mind...

Specs per a random news article that I googled (Overclock3D.net)

In October, Intel will launch the entry-level Core 2 Duo E4600 processor with 2.4GHz frequency, 2MB L2 cache, 800MHz FSB and a price of US$133. The previous E4500 will drop from US$133 to US$113, while E4400 and 4300 fade out the market, added the sources.

Your picture of a 4600, with the 512KB cache and that week 23 of 06 date is very interesting...must be a real early sample.
