Pentium Dual Core E2160 and Core 2 Duo e ...

I don't see a difference between these two, they are both 1.8 ghz and based off the allendale thingy.

Well the 4300 has double the cache which helps.Pentium Dual Core E2160 and Core 2 Duo e ...
The Pentium Dual Core only has 1MB of L2, while the Core 2 has 2MB. Whoops, didn't see the post above.
Oooooooooooooooh, but $30 for 1mb more chache? Sounds like a rip to me. Ah, well... I'm not buying them. Just curious.
Looks like the E2160 uses less voltage as well. Not enough to make a huge difference. I'd like to see some benchmarks comparing these two.
The E4300 isn't significantly faster than the E2160, but both are amazing overclockers. :) [url]http://www.techspot.com/review/53-pentium-e2140-e2160/page5.html[/url][url]http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/pentium-e2160_13.html#sect0[/url]

Nice - I haven't checked their site in a while for some reason.
So it performs inline with the fastest pentium d's? I think I'll pass. Currently I have a pentium d 2.66 ghz.
For people who don't think cache is important, it's important!
