In order for Intel to speed up the introduction of 1333MHz front-side bus CPUs and boost Intel 3-series desktop chipset (Bearlake) sales, Intel plans to suspend production of five 1066MHz FSB Core 2 Duo CPUs by late 2007, according to sources at motherboard makers.

Intel will suspend landing orders for five 1066MHz FSB CPUs, including E6600, E6700, E6300, E6320 and E6420, by late 2007. Final delivery schedule is set as the first quarter of 2008, the sources detailed.


Since the previous 965-chipset motherboards cannot support CPUs that run at 1333MHz, and Intel is about to introduce its latest Core 2 Duo E6050 family on July 22 along with the introduction of more 3-series chipsets, Intel will thus speed up the transition to higher FSB frequency CPUs, the sources explained.

The upcoming E6050 family includes E6550, E6750 and E6850 with core frequencies 2.33GHz, 2.66GHz and 3GHz respectively. Pricing per thousand is US$163, US$183 and US$266 respectively - about 40% lower than the current 1066MHz CPU lineup.

On a separate note, Intel plans to boost its 3-series chipset shipment proportions to 38% in the third quarter, up from about 15% in the second quarter.

wow and E6850 for like $250 USD?? That is killer. I might be building me an Intel system (gulp I hate to say it, I Really do) instead of an AM2 or Phenom system ::shame::

Nice idea though.
 
This is a pretty poor idea.
Anyone without a 1333 board wont be able to buy a Core 2 Duo. They still have the 800 ones, so why not suspend those first?
All this just to bring up sales of the P35 chipset? The 680i SLi chipset also supports 1333 and the 45nm CPUs.
 
I don't understand why anyone would be surprised at all that Intel is jamming yet another chipset down our throats this fast. This has been their way for the last few years, making chipsets obsolete faster than CPUs....

I actually agree with you for once, well from a consumer standpoint, anyway. Some people are getting boned by Intel again.

But, from a business standpoint, this makes perfect sense for them, unfortunately.

Looks like I'm gonna have to hold out on an upgrade for a while.
 
Mmmmm e6550 mmmmm, must have e6550 :laugh:
 
Why didn't they make it 1337 MHz? :D
 
Yes it is poor of Intel to do that, but I love the price points of those new chips regardless.

Ashen actually made a good post some time back about how intel changes chipsets every few years. The last chipsets were nice because they still supported most of the intel newer chips.
 
i really do wish intel would stop changing specifications so fast that is one thing i praise AMD for.

Is that for certain, I mean the 680i supporting ... whatever code name they have now?
 
It will be a very nice step for anyone running a stock system. Pair one of these 1333mhz fsb chips with a 2gb 667mhz kit, and they'd be laughing.

From an overclocking point of view this sucks, since there will be lower multipliers, and even less fsb headroom.
 
Well mults will be 7x 8x and 9x so overclocking shouldnt be too bad. Thing is you are starting at 333mhz vs 266mhz for the fsb. Some chipsets ahve gone over 500mhz fsb so thats a max speed of 3.5ghz/4ghz/4.5ghz for those procs. Is that really such a problem infrared?
 
Dammit! Just when 975X Boards were getting nice and affordable, Intel kick us in the balls. I mean, it's good in a lot of ways, but I was really keen on a 975X and now, its just not going to be as cost effective in comparison.
 
Server line of CPUs (Xeons) as well as Quad cores (i think) is set for July 26th. I am very curiouse to see where these prices will go, as i might just have to buy a couple new CPUs :D
 
Is it true that the 45nm Intels will only be available at 1333FSB?
 
That's what I've heard, and from what I've read Intel is moving away from 1066FSB.
 
Well I saw this review and the
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 (LGA775, 3.0GHz, 1333MHz FSB, 4MB L2, Conroe)
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 (LGA775, 2.66GHz, 1333MHz FSB, 4MB L2, Conroe)
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 (LGA775, 2.66GHz, 1067MHz FSB, 4MB L2, Conroe)
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 (LGA775, 2.33GHz, 1333MHz FSB, 4MB L2, Conroe)
Are 65nm WTF and this
