Intel E6400 with 4Mb L2 Cache spotted in the wild

jmke · 10th October 2006, 13:06

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

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)
http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=552207

Closest one: (4,25GHz -> 14.00)
http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=554027

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.

http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum...m?t=633167&p=1

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

thanks.

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.

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

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.
