Intel Responds to Phenom II X2 BE with Pentium E6500K

[btarunr]

Intel offering unlocked multi for under $1000, did hell just freeze over?

The i7 975 sells for $999, so yes.

 

[laszlo]

nice cpu indeed;seems that intel don't sell well the i7;5 and is focusing on the 100$ area which is good for consumers and a good way to increase market share

 

[pr0n Inspector]

Impressive but I have to agree in that I would love to have seen this, if not in the 1366 platform, the 1156 platform coming up for i3/i5 chips. Id snag this up to have my second ever intel chip and try out the unlocked features of it.

Do you mean the unlocked multi or the chip? because Core 2's WILL NOT work on post-775 platforms.

i beleive he just got excited over unlocked multis.

looks good fits! Thanks for sharing.

E6500K can handle 30.0x bus multiplier. Here's an example from EXP:

4.5GHz is great, but here's E6300 at the same:

Thinking 5GHz will however break, once all those extreme dudes get one

edit:

E6500K can handle 30.0x bus multiplier.

10GHz with 333FSB, wow. Well not going to run out of multi

I wish. Before moving on to Core 2, Intel did some 'social-service' with Pentium 4 Cedarmill, that could reach unreal clock speeds. Who knows.

 

[DanishDevil]

I want the coldest substance in the world and my old P35 so I can run the chip at 575x30. AKA 17.25Ghz

 

[jamesrt2004]

wish it was a 8series not a gimped 6500 series cache makes a big diff in spi,

 

[nINJAkECIL]

cut-down L2 cache shows the weaknesses of any Pentium Dual-Core and Core2Duo LGA-775 based.

@4,5ghz E6500K only manage to sub 12s, while E8xxx @4,5ghz most likely break the sub 10s for Superpi 1M.

this proc won't do much damage on PII X2. Intel should release 4Mb cache proc if they want to go beating PII X2

this will only be a fun toy to try the unlocking multiplier of Intel CPU. for those who cant afford any Intel Xtreme series

 

[aj28]

I have a feeling this will have an MSRP > $90. Not only is that mobo not worth $100, but it's a bundle, and it's a Biostar, meaning this thing may very well land closer to $120. $120 for a good-looking chip, yeah, but the 550 has a more advanced architecture, plus the advantage of L3 cache. Unless Intel really can wow us with this chip at $90 (or less), I don't see it as being much of a success...

If this hits for cheap, I may pick one up just to mess around with, and to use for a backup in case I kill the QX. lol.

5 Ghz broke

[Scrizz]

I am definately wanting one
unlocked multi.. (from intel)at this price, u guys are crazy for not wanting one.
who cares if it has less cache. Do you only SPI?

it does affect gaming performance to an extent. Spi just shows it more clearly.

Sorry man but my Ex-Wife already donated her heart to science.

GAWD I love these processor wars. First AMD with the possibility to a get a quad form a dual (every cheap CSer's wet dream right?) then they come out with a superclocker...so all Intel has to do is give us an unlocked multi for cheap and we're all WOooooHOooo. Good stuff.

But what is with those Racist Marketers...all the fast chips are "Black Edition"

You trying to say the Vanilla chips can run as fast or sumthin?

Sup wit dat

if? dont you mean when?

 

[hat]

When for sure. I remember when Wile E killed a system by leaving a TEC on with no cooling for the TEC, so it overheated (a lot) and melted his motherboard.

dont forget his poor 6000+.......ripped the hart right out of that poor little thing........

OK, fair enough. When I kill the QX. lol.

 

[Fitseries3]

dammit intel....

wheres my F****** e6500k?

im tired of waiting.

dont let the info leak if you arent going to release a chip soon.

you still havent shown any signs of the e8700 you talked about months ago.
