I feel as if we are on the brink. It seems to me that very soon all the new apps will take great advantage of multi core chips.....so why is everyone directing more attention to e6750, e6850 ect rather than the Q chips?
@ You're age I was making $29.00 hr back in the early 90's seems like the wage is getting less!@Quote:

I don't spend much of my PC time gaming maybe these day's about 5% out of the whole so I opted for a Q6600 G0 Stepping chip pre order from Tank Guys seemed like more of the logical choice seeing how even at 3.2ghz will rape the livin be jesus out of the E6850 @ 4ghz 2 cores:clap:
Not in gaming! But in overall apps it will. I placed my order with tankguys too, but canceled my ordered on the Q6600. I feel I use the e6850 and maybe buy the Q6600 else where if I can find it.Quote:

I'm holding out with this e6600 @ 3.6 1.4v 24/7 until some Penryn action comes out. I've been banging on this thing for literally about 14 -16 hours a day since May on the P5k-dlx. Running Photoshop and illustrator while downloading and listening to music and taking and occasional break from design to play oblivion or Quake 4. No problems whatsoever. I'll be happy with this for at least another year.
Edit - I'm also Orthos stable up to 3.8. So that being said I won't go to a GO chip unless people start reporting 4ghz + on air with less than 1.5 v. Otherwise it's just not worth it to spend $230 for such a small difference..
Looks like the retail boxed G0 Q6600 are still not out yet, can't seem to find a single post on them on the www so far.
:(
I don't expect very many to show up soon. With the price drop, most will be trying to clear out inventory before ordering more I assume. I have a preorder with tankguys and my local fry's will let me know if they get any. I'm holding out for the Q6600's. I've already got chips that are 3.8Ghz orthos stable so no need for the 6X50's for me.:)
Locally, all the E6x50 series range are already being sold except for the Q6600 which makes me wonder if they are ready for retail at all by the 22nd.
Guess not just yet.
only if the apps you use can take advantage of the 4 cores, otherwise the dual core spanks the lower clocked quad :)Quote:

Working with Dream Weaver and CS3 or illustrator is pretty darn system taxing!
Very disappointing thread but informative never the less....sounds like ill wait for Penryn before i replace my QX6700 ...
just got my e6850 719b019!
A guy at HFR managed to hit 4.1Ghz with a similar batch (719b056) on nexxuss WC

Im sure better stuff will make its way into the market :)
I will get 6750 on monday. Will post results :)
"B" chips already :yepp:
Come on tankguys, PLEASE GET YOUR CHIPS SOON (1 can only hope!)
I get my e6850 on Tuesday I hope it will "GO". I will be happy with 4.0GHz stable on water...Comming from a Opty 165 3.0GHz.
And you may be more ready for those 45nm than you realised, your mobo's official a-OK for Penryn!Quote:

shouldn't be a problem unless you have very crappy chip, 3.0Ghz stock speed on E6850 so 4.0Ghz on water is easily done!Quote:
