The Intel Pentium E is a budget dual-core chip[1] due to be released on June 3, 2007.[2] It is to be based on the Intel Core microarchitecture. In this manner it is closely related to the Intel Core 2 family of processors and is intended to serve the budget market above the Intel Celeron processor. This marks a change in the Pentium brand, relegating it to the budget segment rather than its former position as the mainstream/premium brand.
There will be initially two models available:
- Pentium E2140 (1.6 GHz, 200 MHz QDR FSB, 1 MiB L2 cache) at US$74
- Pentium E2160 (1.8 GHz, 200 MHz QDR FSB, 1 MiB L2 cache) at US$84
They will be based on the Allendale core, with Intel 64 support, Execute Disable Bit, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology and Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 and have a 65W TDP. They will not support Intel's VT-x instructions. They will be released in the LGA775 form factor to run in existing LGA775 motherboards supporting VRD 11.0 and compatible chipsets.
They are rated to run on a quad-pumped system bus running at 200 MHz, which in the popular press is often referred to as 800 MT/s or 800 MHz, indicating 800 million data transfers in one second. This is lower than the 1066 MT/s rating for the Core 2 Duo E6000 series processors, the top-of-the-line processors as of this writing (February 2007) and matches the E4000 series processors. It also has a smaller L2 cache (1MiB) than any Core 2 chip (2 or 4MiB).
