With a 9X multiplier, the same as the E6600, The E4300 will ACTUALLY be the real Celeron 300A.

cliffs on the celeron 300a story?

Celeron 300A were basically highly overclockable processors. Pretty much 50%+ oc at default core voltage and more with more voltage. 450mhz I believe was the norm. Since the E4300 have an 800mhz bus, that could easly be bumped to 1066 which would run it at 2.4, from 1.6, a 50% OC already. Factor in the voltage bumps, northbridge bumps and you have yourself a celeron 300a story once again. Cheerios. OOooohhhh :p
 
The beauty of the 300A was that it could also be used in a 2P config.

E4300 will probably be highly overclockable, but the 300A will always stand out on its own.
 
Mark my words: Nobody will give a damn once it finally comes out.

The E4300 runs at a stock frequency of 1.8 GHz, not 1.6. 9x200=1800 Mhz.
 
mark overclockers.com's words, they said it last week, or maybe it was Monday that the 4300 would be THE CHIP to have

Yup, got to love people trying to take the spot light from someone else ;) ;)
 
Same thing with the P4 1.6A chips. These used to do 2.40Ghz @ default voltages also (50% overclock). I had one that did 2.60GHz at one notch above default...great chips just like the 300A.

I am sure that the E4300 will be almost the same but it is coming out a bit too late
 
Wasn't the thing with the 300A that is was

1) cheaper than every other processor
2) faster than it's big brother the Pentium II
3) overclocked further than any other chip at the time

???

If I'm right about 3 then the E4300 will be largely unimpressive from a 300A perspective.

Intel I doubt is going to release another budget processor that outperforms it mainline or top end options. The 300a was a knee-jerk reaction to the criticism of the previous Celerons' dismal performance.
 
well, the 4300 will be pretty damn cheap compared to contemporary processors.... so yea, price will scale up nicely....

the 300A didn't overclock further than anything else... it just offered better performance than a stock Pentium II 450.... but the P2 could also be OCed......

4300 will be a very worthy successor to the 300A name I think..

Is the one we talked about last week.

The E4300 has a 9X multiplier, compared to the 7X and 8X multipliers of the E6300 and E6400. Since the primary bottleneck for Conroes is going to be FSB, an E4300 will run faster at any given FSB than the other cheapish Conroes.

Example:

At 400MHz, the low-end Conroes will run at the following speeds:

E4300: 3.6GHz
E6400: 3.2GHz
E6300: 2.8GHz

Does the Exxxx run in dual-socket boards? Will there be a BP6 priced board for the Exxxx processor?
