So for gamers not really much gain to expect over current generation 1333FSB cpu's, but for multimedia/encoding purposes the extra cache helps...
Thx OBR I will go for another GO Q6600 then as my E6850 is sold...

Question : Why do some overclockers switch into d*ckmode when money is involved
Remark : They call me Pro AsusSaaya yupp, I agree
OBR,
Those gaming test are relatively low FPS'...
Drop those IQ settings, you should be benching the CPU, not the GPU.
You were not supposed to see this.
Buddy of mine just tested the QX9650 the other day with Maximus and he was quite pissed by the fact that it showed up as a 12GHz CPU, supplied wrong voltage etc...
Now, how many of those results would be irrelevant if you took an average of 3-4 runs for each benchmark.Originally Posted by OBR
My OWN scores ... check it ...
E6850 versus Dual ES @ default (both chips at 2.33GHz)
Mobo Striker Extreme, 2GB RAM, 8800GTX noSLI
What I'm saying, the margin is far too small in some of them.

thats' because 2Mb cache ain't going to give differences in games like it does on CachePi 1M

there yo go bringing intel into a amd thread again lol, if that was someone droping a dig at amd you would be crying like a girl.qft!
largon - This is "real usage" test, if i have high-end GFX i tested only with high res and AA+AF ...
perkam - In every my review (on our web) i tested all of test 3x, 4x - results are average values from each tests ...
my next upgrade will be a 8 core cpu, my q6600 3.82ghz should do me good intill 8 core nehalm shows up.
you might be testig "real world" environment, but your surely dont test the cpu with those setting.
stalker, bioshock and lost planet scream gpu limitation.
would be nice if you can rerun those test without gpu limitation. (aka lower res without AA/AF)
I have my eye on that Q9450.. I can wish for the Q9550 but thats a little pricey, would be nice for the higher multi though.

so is the q9550 going to be the new q6600?
should i jump on the q6600 now, or get the q9450 later.

I would do some math concerning the board you're using. If you have a chipset that's not likely to be able to max out a 45nm chip, you may favor the multiplier of the current 1066mhz fsb chips.

I'd wait out for the Q9450--but I'm not under any pressure to buy (now that I have a E2140). Still, SSE4, more L2 cache, higher FSB, the same multiplier, higher speed, and same price. All those lead towards saying Q9450 for me. I'd wait it out if you can.

I think I may have missed something here, but what about mainboards? I can only presume that current boards like the popular Asus P5k series wont be compatiable with 45n chips or will it? Will 800Mhz RAM suite? Just seeing if or I will need to do is change the chip, choice being the Q9450 which appears to be the obvious choice. Cheap and easy to clock beyond the speed of the top processor.
If anyone has any answers? Would be nice to know; if its just the case of swapping chips, then all good. Otherwise it will benefit me more just to build a brand new base unit and turn the old one into a media centre.

Thanks for the link, my mainboard has native support, so its just a case of swapping chips over. What about RAM though? will 800Mhz be compatiable?

sure thing buddy. It's just a matter of selecting the right divider/multiplier depending on your clock.

I'm so pleased my P5B deluxe will support Penryn. One of the earliest 965 boards turns out to be one of the best and very long-lived considering.
So next year I'll drop in a Penryn replacement, then in 09 I'll build a new desktop around nehalem and put this box out as a server or htpc or something.

pk5 boars support the new 45nm??? specifically the pk5-e?
Jup mate don't worry if even the 680i's will do P35 and later chipsets will surely support Penryn

Sure! That is until the 1300 pin series ships with an IMC. Then Sc-775 will only support the celeron versions of the Nehalem.

Damn, even old 945 boards support 45nm?, i wonder if my ab9 will support it.

Hell yes its a mini-ITX gaming rig!
I see some 975 boards on that list. Would be nice if my AW9-D Max would run a Penry.
The XS WCG team needs your support.
A good project with good goals.
Come join us,get that warm fuzzy feeling that you've done something good for mankind.
