Tech Link (Processor): Allendale debuted with CPU-Z Validation! (Conroe's younger brother??)

Earlier today, FUGGER of XtremeSystems, shows benchmark of Conroe's lesser known little sibling, Allendale. Due to the uber low multiplier, even at an extreme FSB on the Intel® D975XBX "Bad Axe" motherboard, clockspeed is limited at 3.22GHz. However, at this speed, it already reaches sub20s SuperPi.

For the uninitiated, Allendale is a processor within Chipzilla's roadmap that has been shown on a leaked(??) slide at HKEPC. The processor has a cut-down L2 cache (2MB), and operates on lower clock frequency (1.86GHz and 2.13GHz), and initially will be released under the moniker E6300/E6400.

As for FUGGER's showcasing, you can find his CPU-Z validation here, and below is a quote from his post.
Moving up to the B0 stepping and put the Core 2 Dou E6300 1.8Ghz 2MB L2 Cache under the vapo for some FSB testing and to see if the 2MB makes any difference in overclocking.

If my Presler could hit this kind of bus speed it would give the AM2 a brutal beating in bandwidth.

This is the low end chip matching my 2.13Ghz A0 chip in speed and beating it on bus speed. This chip also allows full voltage from the mobo.
