Pentium Dual Core E6300 Spotted
Intel continues to use the Pentium brand name for its series of downscaled Core 2 series processors between the Core 2 Duo and Celeron lines. Japanese website ASCII.jp spotted a new model under the series, the E6300, originally slated for end of May. A retail box was spotted at a ground store. The most peculiar part of the name is its model number "E6300", which that has been used by one of the earliest Core 2 Duo models. The Pentium E6300 however, is the faster chip. While the Core 2 Duo E6300 is clocked at 1.86 GHz, with 2 MB of L2 cache and 1066 MHz FSB, the Pentium E6300 is clocked at 2.80 GHz with the same FSB speed and L2 cache size.
The Pentium E6300 achieves its 2.80 GHz speed with a bus multiplier of 10.5 (x 266 MHz). It is based on the 45 nm Wolfdale-2M core. The model follows the Pentium E5400 (2.70 GHz, 13.5 x 200 MHz) and falls into the E6000 series for having the 1066 MHz FSB. So in essence, it falls between the E5000 series' use of the Wolfdale-2M core, and the E7000 series' use of the 1066 MHz FSB. ASCII.jp notes its price to be at ¥8,880 (around US $90).

the old 6300 beats the 4300. so yeah unless you really need the multitasking its kinda one sided. though, my 6300 clocked at 2.8 which is a pretty good thing to compare to atm is great with multi tasking. ive never had a problem with it, and i multitask a shitload.
What most consider multi-tasking is really something that single-core processors could handle without breaking much of a sweat. Surfing the net, while listening to music, while burning a DVD, and IMing someone is not multi-tasking that requires a quad-core, or even a dual core.
The new one is not good in OC, cause I'm OCing it :banghead:
I sold the e6300 with the wondeful p5b-dlx ages ago,i miss that combo,it was awesome.
