Intel E6400 with 4Mb L2 Cache spotted in the wild
 

The story with my E6400 started when I bought it from kiwi. Then I put it under DI and got a WR on that But the results were doudtful because the CPU was faster than most of conroes @ that freq.

Now, though, with new CPU-Z 1.37 it all got clear. Downloaded it today in the morning - tested it on my mom`s PC (since my E6700 rig is undercostruction) - didn`t believe my eyes - CPU has shown 4Mb of cache !!! Tried CrustalCPUID - the same thing - 4096Kbytes

FAKE

thanks for delving into that thread, didn't have the time to plow through it earlier:)

I know what Frank told us, but how can you explain the fact that is superpi (Allendale world record) is totally of the chart.

His: (4,4GHz- > 11.67)

Closest one: (4,25GHz -> 14.00)

For only 150MHz, that is a very big hole.
Now have a look at this:
E6600 @ 4,4GHz -> 11,64s

Hi all,

I was doing some hunting and came across this site.

There is a thread going in Australia about a E6400 4MB Cache that someone bought. It states in CPU-z that is an ES.

Can someone point me to this reply you mention from Franck. I cant see it here.

thanks.

let me see if I can find the link, here it is: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=118768

Thanks man, i found it.

But they are saying it's a fake. I don't think it is.

Someone bought one from IT Estate and they are selling them as E6400 4MB L2 Cache.

I'm real confused lol.

E-mailed them, let's wait for their answer ;)

Wow, this is cool. Now if only someone sold those in the US at the usual e6400 prices... :love:

Same exact Revision B2 Stepping 6 model otherwise. Makes you wonder if any more "slipped" by Intel...? B2 Stepping 6's are not ES chips.
