sub-$400US quad cores emerging

The Xeon DP X3210 s775 is emerging and available at some places for awesome prices. Remember: Q6600 price cuts aren't too far off ;)

yea seen the X3210 in one UK e-shop, a fair bit cheaper than the Q6600 right now. (£260 vs £330)

almost crazy to get a quad with the impending cuts, unless you absolutely need it of course ;)

Hmmm yes, a little mistake from my side. Q6600 price cuts shouldn't be too far off though... ;)

Excuse the ignorance, but what is the difference between a Q6600 and an E3220 ? Are there benifits for choosing the Xeon over the Core2quad, and do you need a special chipset to run E3200 series cpu's ?

No special chipset, just normal s775 boards that support quads work. The difference is that it's roughly $100 cheaper (making it the cheapest quad) and it's clocked 267mhz lower. I expect it to overclock about the same as the Q6600, just with a lower multiplier.

There is no difference in architecture of the chip, the only difference is maybe the Binning done for higher temp resistance for the xeon..,.

Id go for the xeon if it overclocks well.

So it's kinda like the 939 Opterons :confused: Sorry just only way I'd make sense of it as i'm kinda newb :D

I know the Q6600's where supposed to be 350 or similar in Q4

By the time Q6600 hits $266, penryn and DDR3 will be (probably) more favorable
I dont think enthusiasts willing to have 2nd fastest rig
Just a thought guys
Should we worry if by the time the price cut happens, conroes and kents will become harder to find coz intel start releasing penryn to the market??
And yes, ill get xeon instead kensfield if i have the money

Xeon is still Xeon...
You may get mainboard with 775 but Xeon wount fit coz xeon is 771 socked.
Abaut mainboard for Xeons they cost alot Abaut same price as 1 Xeon.

I don't know what you're talking about. I think you might need to do more research. x3xxx xeons are lga775 platform and run off normal boards.

No i dont need to your do research. Since this your forum dont have topic for Xeons.I found all anwsers elses place!
I goin to get 2 Clovertown processor Xeon 771 5300 series w maindoard.

Hmmm anyone have a 680i + x3xxx Xeon and care to share OC performance?
05-13-2007, 07:37 AM
jetjaguar

i think someone on ocforums .. got like 3.2-3.4 with the evga 680i and a xenon

i might pick one up

Just check the Intel part of the forum. Was 3.6Ghz or so on a 3060.

i thought Xeon 3200s r same as Q6000's ... so if a board can take quad core to 400+fsb its good enough like the EVGA 680i A1 450fsb no problem

3060 is only dual core so who cares.
05-13-2007, 02:15 PM

it wasnt a dual core .. whatever the xenon quad is that runs at 2.13 stock is the one .. its like 450$ at buy.com or something
