P4 2.8GHz is the new C1 stepping???

Overclocker456 · Aug 22, 2002

The 2.8GHz chips are coming out the end of August as everyone knows, what the question is, will they be the C1 stepping?? :eh?:

***Probably***

Overclocker456 · Aug 22, 2002

yeah I said probably too.. but probably can cost me a $600 mistake if you get my drift.. Someone must know..

NookieN · Aug 22, 2002

Yes.

As will the 2.66's. The 2.6/400 and 2.5/400 most likely will be too.

check the spec/speed here and find out the stepping

as of right now, intel only has Sspecs listed for CPU's running at 2.53 and slower, all are currently B0 stepping CPU's....
(does that mean the C1 steppings are not being shipped yet???)

but needless to say, check the Sspec updates before you buy.
and buy your CPU based on what Sspec it is, that way you can ensure you get C1 when they become avalible.

YEAH!!

My next CPU is the 2,6!!!!!

THE LAST FSB400...........!!

Go up to 3+GH!!

Man, that's why I love this site.

Thanks for the link...

Check out this page Look at the cpu, it's a C1 stepping as the default Vcore is 1.525V. It has Sspec code "SL6HL". Now that doesn't necessarily mean they all will be, but personally I'm pretty sure they will be. What would be the point in releasing a new cpu in an "old" stepping also?

Also take a look at the benchmarks, especially the SuperPi one. It seems they've improved "something". I've ordered one online already (and I do have a 2 week "full money back return time" should it by some odd chance be a B0 stepping), but as I live in Europe the chip probably won't make it here until mid September

is that even a real pic?
As the CPU's Sspec isnt found on intels webpage, searched for it HERE

I find this odd as intel is ussally always current with their CPU listing on thier web page

Turbo · Aug 24, 2002

Of course it's real. But as Intel hasn't yet officially released the new batch of cpu's, they're not on the Sspec page yet. I bet they will be on monday though (official release date).
