What is the fastest Dual Core available? Intel Core 2 Duo E6850?

The E8500 will be the fastest C2D when it comes out in Jan. 08 . It is in the new 45nm class of cpu's.As for now the E6850 is the fastest which is a 65nm cpu.
 
I am not looking at upgrading my processor currently. Just curious which Dual Core was the fastest. And I sure wouldn't buy an Intel E6850 Dual Core as some Quad Core processors are less expensive.

I also probably won't ever overclock any of my components. I have read too many horror stories and it just isn't worth possibly damaging or shortening the life of my system components to get it to go 10 percent faster than it is currently running.
 
Meh, I don't believe those horror stories. I've had my P4 1.3 oc'd to 1.43 and it's been running great for more than one year. Although I rarely start it up (:D) it still works perfectly. As well as this one that's overclocked... and my sig... and my E4300...
 
I've never seen a real difference at overclocking, so I leave everything at standard. I got with my 6800GT 25-30 FPS at NFS MW @ everything max and I overclocked my 6800GT to much higher then ultra settings and it gave me barely +5FPS.
Same counts for the CPU...
 
by the way oscaryu, speaking of your e4300, why do you post that rig in your sig instead of your dual core one?
