i would've bought this processor instead of E7200 but it wasn't out yet that time. 1 week later only came out.

but my E7200 can do 425Mhz.

E5200 = Wolfdale
E7200 = Wolfdale

so you were saying totally different architecture?

more L2 cache meaning when the situation need it, you have the advantage.

stock vs stock, you must remember that while the E5200 is same architecture as E7200 the difference is in the
1. Cache
2. FSB

so clock vs clock, the E7200 is the faster one. (if you still can get it la. if not then E7300 lor).

the one that cost more of course performs better.

and i highlighted already in the earlier post, E7200 has more cache and higher FSB for the same clock speed, so YES it's better!




don't go by name. it's just the name Pentium, to indicate the lower range. just as how the E2xxx series was.

it's been like that for a while already la. since more than a year ago also got such thing already.

thanks. E7200 you can still find? nowadays E7300.

me ah? a lot of things to buy but budget not around.

take note of what jinaun mentioned.

E2xxx are based on Conroe, the E6xxx processors. Hyper-threading stopped at the P4 series, now introduced in the Core i7 series.

yes. re-introduced. or re-implemented. whichever.

it was named Pentium but the architecture is of the Core series.

yeah, even the earlier gen PDC were Conroe. some how Intel decided to have it named Pentium for the low end.

There's the Celeron E1xxx based on Allendale, same as the E4xxx series.

Celeron has been around for ages.

The most popular Celeron was the 300A. 300mhz OCed to 450mhz. 50% OC. I only have the 333 and 400.

Those days Celeron were a hit, people bought Celeron instead of Pentium III because (based on my really really old information entry) they had on-die cache while Pentium III's cache was off-die. so the Celeron when OCed to equivalent P3 speed, can do faster.

Even P4 days had Celeron. Pentium was the top of the consumer line, Celeron for the lower range.

Nowadays it's Core / Pentium / Celeron.

ahhh. something like that. btw off-topic a bit - computer shop in Taiping? if got then, next time i drop by Taiping can visit.
