Since they're single core, I wonder if they'll work in old socket 775 boards, like those based on i925.

I see some nice overclocking potential, single core Pentium M style architecture at 65nm with only 1MB of L2 on an 800Mhz FSB... (1.6Ghz=800Mhz x2 Multiplier? 1333Mhz x2=2667)
So an easy 2.667Ghz on air and under $100? Sounds nice... |

Am I the only one who thought the Core 2 should have been named Pentium 5? It is the next generation.

Mad overclocking? Single-core, only 1mb of cache and supposedly specced for only 1.8ghz max? We know most Conroe dual-cores with 2-4MB of cache can do 3ghz, I wonder if these Conroe-L have the potential to go even higher than a normal Conroe.

I'm all for it. I hate that "Core blah blah" naming scheme. They shoulda just taken the Centrino name to the desktop ... or something. Anyway.
Pentium 4 531, 541, 631, 641, and 651 chips will go down from their existing $74-163 price range to a more affordable $69-84. !!!!???? 5 chips in the span of $15? That seems ... dumb? |

How important is dual core really? I havn't got any feeeling of "upgrade" when I moved from A64@ 3Ghz to an X2 @ the same 3Ghz. I want to say I feel it because time spent building yet another computer but I don't... pretty sad huh?
800MHz front-side bus Thats the real news here besides price. Uber clockers on the cheap ahead because of relativly high multiplier....:) For less than $80 one could have a 4Ghz p6. Again who cares if it's dual core? It's fast as hell in everything but Cinebench which no one uses anyway. |

*sigh* I guess theres always going to be a market for single core processors just like theres still a market for $15 video cards out there.

It's a plot. A heinous plot to make it impossible to clearly understand which processor is which.

So I take it the Core moniker is not making as much money as once believed and now they have to revert back to the naming that people recognize?

Look at it this way, I can put "It's all about the Pentiums baby!" in my sig and have the statement carry some weight for a change.
C2D, Core 2 Duo, Core, Conroe or any other core just doesn't have the same ring to it.
So a new sig for Convert = a win.
