Intel Quad Core Q6600ES G0 stepping >> Quad prime@3.9GHz > 4GHz+ benchable

omg ES is no SUPER hardware, they may be cherry picked... but the final silicon will do better! and worse! the main question is, will it do AS GOOD on AVERAGE? (we hope so..) but there will be "golden chips" for sure, which will clock even higher and those chips that don't clock as well..

the only possible way would be Intel changing the (final) silicon for better yields, but lower overclock (why do you need stable 4ghz chips if you can't release them because you are power constrained..)

you are right there

consider this guys all the ES chips (well most of them) in conroe were week 17 '06 and the REALLY good ones did 3.6GHz with 1.37V>>>>>>>>> now take my E6700 CPU which is week 26 '06 and the fact it does 3.6GHz with 1.31 and absolutely beats the out of ES CPUs in overclocking........wow the conspiracy

lucky... My QX is doing 3.6 with 1.42v load, 1.46-1.47 idle (1.52v bios)

So far 1hour and a half of prime.... 72C load with water cooling
