E6650, E6750, E6800 and E6850 to be released Q2 2007!

[WeatherMan]

Hi peeps,

Just found some interesting news.

Thought you guys might like to know. Don't think it's been posted before elsewhere so thought I should start a new thread

Having seen the chip giant's latest desktop roadmap, DailyTech reports Intel is preparing new Conroes clocked at 2.33GHz, 2.66GHz, 2.93GHz and 3GHz - respectively the E6650, E6750, E6800 and E6850. All four contain 4MB of shared L2 cache. The E6800 runs on a 1,066MHz FSB - the other three support the 1,333MHz bus speed.

I don't see them being as large of a step up like the c2d were from the pentium d's and p4's. However, they do look promising.

Finally they upped the FSB! Hopefully they're doing the same thing with the quads.

They are the Core 2 Duo's, just with a higher FSB.

those quads are just repeats of the earlier PD's

I hope you mean because they have two dies on a chip, and not because there based off the PD

lol, which do you think i mean

The second one

Some say it isn't a true quad-core because it has two dies, but perhaps like the PD, they will soon make it just one die. From what i've heard about Intel's 8-core Clovertown, it has 2 quad-core kentsfields in it.

Just as intels early dual core was simply 2 smithfield cores slapped on one die (with decrete L2's), we will see Kentsfield being a 2 * Core 2's slapped on one die. With descrete L2's, on the single FSB. So just as we argued that the PD with smithfield cores was not a real dual core, so we shall agrue that the kentsfields are not a real quad core

 

[Ku-sama]

when do you think Intell will move onto a 2GHz FSB? (coutside of overclocking)

 

[Saurian]

I don't particularly like these new chips. Increase FSB, decrease multiplier. It's lowering the overclocking potential/forcing HUGE fsb.

We'll just called them, Double Dual Cores, lol.
