Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 M0 Stepping CPU Review

Wed 2007-10-17 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

As some of you may know, the Intel E4500 processor is based on the new M0 stepping. Well MadShrimps has just reviewed this new chip to see how it performs.

Here’s what they had to say:

“9, 10 or 11 multiplier (Intel E4300, E4400 and E4500) is the question; a One Dollar question. That is the price difference at Geeks Computer Parts at time of this article was written. I believe all of the three processors are winners if they could run at 3.2GHz at slightly above default voltage. I'd rather take the E4500 because it runs at a mere 1.185 volt at higher default speed.

For the adventurers, this $123 processor will certainly make your day with high end cooling gears if it happens that the one you pick as the low end voltage range. But, chances are pretty good. Best of luck.”

While 3.2Ghz cannot be considered bad, the M0 stepping is nothing special. I distinctly remember that the early batch of E4300’s, based on the L2 stepping, overclocked as well, if not better.
