PRODUCT INTRODUCTION


With Intel's introduction of its Core 2 Duo processor line, many people claim that Intel launched itself back into the processor race that it was losing at the time. Every new Core 2 Duo introduction saw increases in front side bus, internal cache size and the introduction of more features to further improve an already fast processor for the money. In almost every overclocker or enthusiast corner of the internet, more often than not, this line of processors is at the forefront of what tweakers are working on to make even faster. Core 2 Duo's are known for their excellent overclocking potential without having to increase the processor voltage. In some cases, people have had better luck undervolting these processors and thus unlocking even more speed by reducing overall cpu running temperature and increasing benchmarking stability.
The E6750 processor being reviewed today is not out to show any major improvements or to smash the results people have been enjoying with the E6700, but it is more a baby step into introducing a 1333Mhz FSB for increased processor to memory performance. Don't get me wrong, I do expect a measurable increase with the 267Mhz FSB improvement, but it won't be anything that will have E6700 owners upgrading the processor and also their motherboard for.
For the 1333Mhz upgrade, you will need a motherboard that supports the new processor FSB standard and at this time that is limited to the Intel P35 and the Nvidia 680i SLI motherboard chipsets. Both are arguably equivalent in terms of performance, but the Intel P35 does hold the edge seeing it does support DDR3. The Nvidia 680i SLI only supports DDR2 but from what I have been seeing, DDR3 isn't developing to be the DDR2 killer it was meant to be. It is not the DDR3's speed holding it back, it is the latency timings that are stopping the system from taking advantage of the bandwidth.
So is the E6750 the processor you should be targeting for your next complete upgrade, through the upcoming pages you should get the benchmarks to prove my point.

Intel designs 45 nanometres wide processor ‘Penryn’

In an age of microchips, Intel and IBM have come up with another wonder, the 45 nm processors. It is a tiny giant in the sense that this new Intel processor microchip, which is half the size of a postage stamp, is capable of containing 400 million transistors in it.
The 45 nanometres (billionths of a metre) wide processor has been given the code name of ‘’. Penryn is similar to the current processors as regards its availability in dual-core and quad-core versions.
Specifications about Penryn have not yet been revealed by Intel in details, however, this could be known that Penryn will feature increased L2 cache size and Streaming SIMD4 (SSE4) extensions. This change, according to Intel has been effected to increase the speed of media applications. Though at this stage any other architectural enhancement is not known about, yet reports have it that some other thermal improvements have been made.
The 45 nanometres wide processor Penryn will enable to make the transistors become much smaller in size, which in turn would double the total number of transistors in a particular space. As regards the speed, it was claimed that Penryn will be 20 percent faster than its predecessor, which indirectly means increase of efficiency. Further, this will help to curb power leakage by at least 80 percent. So Penryn in a nutshell means a package of benefits.

Searching for the best intel uATX motherboard intel rumors and other intel joy


Rumor has it that intel will cut the price on the quad-core "Kentsfield" Q6600 processor to $266 around July. The link is in Chinese, look at the image halfway down the page (the image is in English).If true, that could be the hot (no pun intended) seller of the summer. I think I'll hold off on buying a Core 2 Duo for now. Also, don't forget that intel is expected to induce price drops to the Core 2 line on April 22nd...the above mentioned Q6600 should be dropping to $530, currently $851.Last summer the local Fry's Electronics had a bundle consisting of a Pentium D 930 (dual-core 3 GHz Pentium 4) and a low-end ECS motherboard for $169. The processor alone was retailing for more then $169 so I snapped it up. It had been working fine but one of the drawbacks of the included "better then free" motherboard was that it did not support dual-channel mode for the RAM. The memory performance was absolutely horrible, with single channel DDR-400 RAM it benchmarked worse then a Athlon XP 1600+ and not that much better then a Pentium III combined with SDRAM! This past weekend I decided to upgrade to a better motherboard, one that could also provide future support for a Core 2 Duo or Quad as well as better memory performance. My case only supports micro ATX motherboards and at first I did not realize how limited my options were. With the idea for overclocking in mind the best motherboard I could find was the

Gigabyte GA-965GM-S2



The GA-965GM-S2 is centered around the intel Express G965 chipset, featuring four SATA 3.0 connectors and one PATA connector for legacy optical drives. Gigabyte adds their own SATA 3.0 RAID controller that provides two SATA 3.0 connectors, and of course the chipset provides legacy connectors such as a floppy connector and serial/parallel/PS2 ports. A 1000BaseT ethernet connector and IEEE 1394 connector are included on the back panel, along with four USB 2.0 ports. The motherboard features one PCI Express x16 slot for a video card, two regular PCI slots, and a single PCI Express x1 slot. The motherboard also has headers for six additional USB 2.0 ports, SPDIF out, and two additional IEEE 1394 connectors. Not to forget anything the board also features 8-channel high definition audio and perhaps the best of all, integrated intel GMA X3000 graphics (more on that later). Sounds like alot for a micro ATX motherboard, and indeed it is too much as my case was only able to utilize half of the internal connectors and headers

The motherboard took my Pentium D 930 with no issue, although I have issue with the high stock temperatures that the processor gives off. That is not a fault of the motherboard but rather an unfortunate side-effect of the Pentium 4's NetBurst architecture.Moving from single channel DDR-400 RAM to dual channel DDR2-800 RAM yielded an impressive improvement in memory bandwidth, with Everest Ultimate 3.5.0 showing a memory read score of 6381 MB/s and memory latency of 95.6 ns

Pentium D 930 with Gigabyte GA-965GM-S2

The G965's memory controller shows slightly higher bandwidth then my overclocked Athlon 64 X2 is achieving with dual-channel DDR-400, however memory latency is significantly better on the Athlon due to the integrated memory controller. Still, that's an impressive reflection on this chipset and DDR2 RAM in particular. The memory used in these comparisons consisted of two 1 GB Patriot PC6400 CL5 sticks in the intel, and two 512 MB Corsair ValueSelect PC3200 CL2.5 sticks in the AMD.The integrated GMA X3000 video is perhaps the most hyped feature of the motherboard. With a core speed of 667 MHz and Shader Model 3.0 at launch, at least on paper, it sounds very impressive for onboard graphics. As this system is my HTPC I am using my old and trusty ATi All-In-Wonder VE for my graphics, mainly so I can watch and record TV. Because the All-In-Wonder is a PCI card, and partly because it is old technology, on the 3DMark2001 benchmark its score tops out around 3500 on the fastest host systems. How did the integrated GMA X3000 on the GA-965GM-S2 do in 3DMark2001? Approximately 5300 marks. Good for integrated video, but not as good as I had hoped for a video core with such a higher clock speed compared to the All-In-Wonder's currently overclocked speed of 310 MHz. This may have been an issue with intel's graphics drivers, and future tests may yield higher scores. The real beauty of the GMA X3000 video core is that it is deemed by intel as "Ready for Windows Vista". The onboard graphics support DirectX 10 and it meets the requirements for the full Aero experience. I do not yet have Windows Vista to test the onboard video to the metal, and as long as the All-In-Wonder is not supported by Vista then I don't see it coming to this system anytime soon

The Gateway Intel Motherboards (Quick Guide)




The OEM Intel D845GVSR Motherboard is fitted in a large number of Emachines. It is an 845GV/ICH4 chipset with support for 400 and 533 FSB Intel Processors. Graphics are onboard, though you may add a PCI card. Supports memory up to 2GB of DDR200/266/333.

There are 3 variants which merit a mention.The first is the original Emachines Seabreeze model with a typical bios string (which you can find in system information) of SR84510B.44T.0019.P03. This generally came with a Northwood 400FSB Celeron, Realtek ALC202A Audio and a modem card depending on model. The second is late 2004, and is the same except for a typical bios string of SR84510B.44T.0038.P07, which adds support for Prescott 533FSB Celerons D325 to D340 with their lower Vcore voltages. There are no official Bios upgrades for these two models.If you want to try fitting a Pentium in this motherboard, the best advice I can give you is to refer to this CPU support chart from Intel: http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/sr/sr_proc.htm. Bear in mind the 2.40A and 2.80A 1MB cache Pentiums are Prescott cored and will only be supported if your motherboard bios is already supporting a Prescott D series Celeron.Lastly the Gateway Seabreeze T3 variant comes with a Soundmax AD1981B audio chip, a red diagnostic LED and a latest Gateway bios string of SR84510A.46T.0018.P7E which takes Celeron support up to D350. There is a reliable Bios upgrade at Gateway for this model.Drivers are easy to find at the usual support sites for all models.This motherboard and bios and drivers info applies to UK Emachines models 2210 2220 2230 2240 3210 3220 3250 3260 4250 4260 and also T2742 T2796 T2798 T2824 T2862 T2885 T2890 T2893 T2894 T2896 T2898 T2958 T2984 T3624 T3828 T3830 T3958 D2823 D2880 H2824 H2862 H3624 H3824 H3958 W2888
