Intel's, April 22nd Price cut chart.

[Sora]

Isnt it Agena and Kuma? Not Bercelona?

 

[mrfluffles]

It's all of them.. Although Barcelona is a server processor while Kuma and Agena are desktop processors. Kuma is the dual core version (still called X2) of the Agena which is quad core (X4). That is, if I understand correctly.. The new AMDs are confusing the shite out of me.

Pentium E2160 is just like E4300 with half the cache. But cache memory doesn't make any big difference in terms of performance

Here is E2160 vs E4300 benchmark

DailyTech - Pentium E2100-series Benchmarks Revealed

The price of E2160 is only $84 !!! I think Intel will kick AMD's *** very soon.

so from what you said, the e6k20 series (such as e6320) have hardly any improvement from their original CPU?

 

[Sora]

They are the exact same thing as the E6300 and 6400 except they have 4MB cache like the E6600 and above. It is nice to have the exact cache but the extra 2mb doesn't help really that much. Still That doesn't mean you should get the original ones after the price cut either as they will be around the same price.

You haven't heard much about Agena, Barcelona or Kuma, then.

As apok stated AMD will be firing back with the Agena, Kuma, and Barcelona's that are supposedly 40% faster than the C2D's

Up to 40%, so probably a bit less on average. but it will be significant, still.
