niiiice.q9300 for me next year.

what do you think there prices are goin to be?

i'm trying not to think about that.you just burst my bubble :P

seriously.i dont know.hopefully not too high,the prices of amd's offerings may have some effect on the prices,we'll have to wait and see i guess.

Hmm I think ill let my buddy know he can go ahead and upgrade to a E6850 from a PD 3.4 now.

Allow me to add the missing details.

Quad-Cores:
QX9650 - Unlimited Multiplier, 1333Mhz FSB (9x stock), 12MB cache
Q9550 - 8.5x Multiplier, 1333Mhz FSB, 12MB cache
Q9450 - 8x Multiplier, 1333Mhz FSB, 12MB cache
Q9300 - 7.5x Multiplier, 1333Mhz FSB, 6MB cache

Dual-Cores:
E8500 - 9.5x Multiplier, 1333Mhz FSB, 6MB cache
E8400 - 9x Multiplier, 1333Mhz FSB, 6MB cache
E8300 - 8.5x Multiplier, 1333Mhz FSB, 6MB cache
E8200 - 8x Multiplier, 1333Mhz FSB, 6MB cache


But doesn't anyone think that this quite stupid on Intel's behalf to reveal these CPUs 4 months ahead of their launch? I mean, now I have no motivation to buy the Q6600, at all. I'm still going to, but.. darn..

i held off on the q6600,i want a q9300/q9450.

Now I know what I'm going to put on my P38 board.

will these be "true" quads? thats why i am not buying a q6600, because it's simple 2 e6600's

I know what you mean savior but one plus to the intel quads being seperated is that I think that they may create a little less heat since their both seperated rather than all in one piece though thats not the point and lets not get into a huge discussion about that.

Anywhos I thought that when Intel releases Penryn that they would all be Quad cores?

Also as great as 45nm is seriously why are the power usages risng again lol. I don' think that this will be as big of a jump for Intel as when it released the Core 2 Duo procs.

LOL they go from 65 nm to 45 nm and yet the power usage increases, also seriously at those temps Im a bit worried that these procs might not overclock that well.

Also if the other E6### series procs still stay and the prices go down when Penryns released I might just try to buy myself an E6800:cool::cool:

might cop a q6600 or a e6750 ... if the above stays true ..

that TDP for that bad ass quad core extreme is really nice.
