Now, what is the better buy? C2D E8600 or C2Q Q9550???

I´m not advocating for dualcores (Or even tricores) since the future is quads and beyond. But to make the judgement I would add that the E8600 price would drop and be replaced by the E8700.

Plus when you look downwards, Q8200 or E8400? It quickly gets tricky due to amdahls law.

what's really interesting is new X3 720 Black Edition that's just around the corner

You posted this 3 days ago. Typically for a hardcore fanboy is to have double standards.

Face it, the E8700 wipes the floor with all the AMD CPUs up to date, except Deneb.

It doesn't exist yet.

**natty** · 01-26-2009, 04:07 PM

E8700 will be E0? or a new stepping?

Please don't do that! Don't think what you think that I think it would be appropriate thing to do!

And what does this post in compliantly different topic has to do with this one??

Did you obtained one and test it, so you know?
Sarcasm on a side, high clock and 6megs of shared cache will do what they've done for all Cores so far when it comes to singlethreaded and explicitly dual-core optimized apps... but in multithreaded apps and multitasking scenarios things will be completely different...

But back to my main argument - what's your take on it? Cheap quads (or cheaper triples) , or expensive duals?

Expensive duals by far.

Go figure

**HDCHOPPER** · 01-26-2009, 04:42 PM

ya man this is why eye was waiting mars is gonna love E8700

...... or wait for the E8800 11 multi

Plus there are no order/box codes.

You must mean the X5270's..3500/6mb/1333 10.5 multi 80w E0 step..

The next guy that posts flames against either company in this thread takes a hike for 30 days!

aahh hallmark among singlethreaded games!

Ok, truth to be told physix does run on different thread, but it's so low load on CPU that it's insignificant above Low graphics settings!

**dinos22** · 01-26-2009, 05:06 PM

interesting news from Intel
lets hope it does come out

hey movieman

btw i was thinking of ya the other day while pulling out a nice salmon off rocks

**tool_462** · 01-26-2009, 05:12 PM

If Intel has put a page up like that, it means they at least have some E8700 ES chips floating around which is good enough for me!

**Charles Wirth** · 01-26-2009, 05:13 PM

I hate when I make a typo and it turns into a web page with links and specs. Bah. Intel and I have something in common

I stick to the theory that there are ES chips around...just gotta find em.

**Ozzfest05** · 01-26-2009, 05:18 PM

it got Fuggers attention so it has to be true lol
well im sure if intel put it up on the site they have already made them
and in that case if they dont release them oh well atleast we know they may have a a special weapon left for socket 775 and that is enough hope for me

**Macadamia** · 01-26-2009, 06:15 PM

Intel bloopers this year!

1. Core i7 940 extreme edition (the one on CPU-Z etc)
2. Q7500
3. E8700
4. Macadamia will run dual Xeons in the near future

Movieman take your pick

**hersounds** · 01-26-2009, 06:18 PM

my tpower i45 is waiting for this e8700....

....about dual vs quad,no dude, for games ( and with high clocks dual core) is all 2009 to use easily ( game developers not run fast, some one say alan wake?...yeah sit and wait )...this is with E8400 soft oc,..with an e8700 maybe you can wait more fps,and of course more 3dmarks...

IMHO, Q9550, Q9400, and Phenom 2 quad and incoming triple core CPUs pwned any dualcore over 150 US$ today.

Maybe Intel wants to offload some of the current stock first, before unleashing this beast.

I'm sure, or they want their recently announced/implemented price cuts to take affect a bit.

But just seeing that page tells me they do in fact have some coming off the line somewhere, and as you can see by my sig, I see a lot of CPUs so it isn't hard to find the one I want

In this case an E8700 "Especial Super" edition as we like to call them.

Well if you prefer low image quality and no AA for +90FPS or more...
