Anyone knows that is it existing motherboard is supported to this new processor? Like MSI MS-7222 , MSI MS-7255, ABIT IP-95 and ABIT IL9 Pro.

Thanks

Errr... can you rephrase the question? What new dual-core are you talking about?

Intel E2140 and E2160... Thanks

Intel will released them before 3rd of June.well,the E2160 is clocked at 1.6GHz with FSB800 and only 1MB of cache lo.....the retail price is around USD 80.


The E2140 is running at 1.6 GHZ with FSB 800 and 1 MB cache too.

both of them is lower standard of Core 2,mostly the same,just cheap,lower cache.

and from western review,two of them hit 3.0 or more than 3.0GHz EASILY.

but the cache of 1mb killing it....

and the name is a bit funny,rumour said it will be

"Core 2 Pentium"

whew..when i look at the title of this thread..i tot u were gonna post something about intel replacing the core 2 duo..lol..but then again..

oo... I believe that this might greatly slayering AMD's lowend dual cores from athlon x2 3600 to 4400

from what I heard, there will be no more dual core for celeron rite?

i think all mobo that can support core 2 duo proc able to run this new proc since it use same core architecture..

there wasn't any since the beginning rite....?

If this thing really gonna out soon,

Students mostly will very happy.

Core 2 Pentium.

Hehe, C2P.. sounds like some word lol.. no offence..

easy to overclock ??you mean.?
if stock speed still can pawn x2?

the formal name would be Intel Pentium Dual Core
seems intel still loves this name very much, Pentium is a better name, compare to the core core crunch

Some reviews and Overclocking benchmarks:

PENTIUM E2140 BENCHMARK :
Pentium E2140 : 120% OC Stable on Water
E2140 vs E2160 vs E4300 vs brisbane 3600+ on default speed

PENTIUM E2160 REVIEWS :
E2160 vs X6800
E2160@3.9GHz


Seems like the brisbane killer has come...

Athlon X2 still has one advantage at least, its virtualization, its best for software like vmware and virtual pc

Actually this is sort of like the replacement for the Pentium Duo, P4 and Celeron in my opinion. But, with it's capability to OC up to only 3GHz, it's not as attractive as the C2D, which r potentially high at 3.2GHz and above.

For budget users or students, this may seems like a good processor, but the mobo is still on killing prices.

Out of topic abit, the cheapest good OC board, which I just bought is the ABIT F-I90HD, it allows my E6300 to reach 7 x 370 max, can't reach 7 x 400 yet, although I'm using the D9GMH. I think this mobo suits the E4300 more.

So, either couple these new dual core with the Biostar TForce P965 or the Abit F-I90HD or MSI 965P Neo-F. Those r the good mobos below RM 400 which will couple well with the new processors and OC nicely too. hehe
