The newer Q6600 will clock just like the old ones i think.... Even if they give it a G0 stepping, I doubt that they will clock anywhere clocse to the E6X50 cpus just because it wouldnt make sense for Intel to do so.... As we all know, the 1066fsb cpus are faster clock per clock and if the $266 Q6600 clocks as well as the 1333fsb G0, then it makes it a better cpu than even the Q6850 ( $999 )..... Since its the same price as the E6850, it has to have some drawback to make the E6850 competitive....
I know overclockers is a small segment in Intels market but they are aware of this fact..... Just imagine what an E4300 with 4mb cache and no fsb wall will do to the E6600 market, and thats not even considering theres no diff in speed between 800fsb and 1066fsb cpus.....
These new cpus are nice clockers but unless I see them doing 600fsb+ without a sweat then Ill stick to my E6600 .... Im sure she can still Orthos at 4ghz
G0 is worlds better than B2, please dont make stuff up.
