Xbit just reviewed these chips. The low VID is just amazing. I think 4ghz is possible with stock coolers.

Sorry for my ignorance.... but what is the 3G mentioned in the OP as a first?

from the above And taking into account that Intel is going to sell the new solutions for the price of Core 2 Duo E6850, E6750 and E6550, we can all get “free” performance improvement of 10-15% on new Intel dual-core CPUs.

wow, that means its like £170 !

not really intels fault that no big retailers exist in the uk and that there are only 2 -3 online shops that actually stock a decent selection of up to date hardware......

but yep, for us it will be same rip off as ever

i have retail E8200, E8500 ... complete review this friday ...

**Origin_Unknown** · 01-08-2008, 06:53 AM

my ( ! ) wasnt because i thought it was expensive but i think it's reasonable

**~~GTX~~** · 01-08-2008, 06:58 AM

retail directly went to nitrogen
but,no luck ,my retail hates FSB...

and thanks for gigabyte fix the divider problem with their new bios
just released 5hours ago,the performance is nice

SUPER PI 1M ，8.625

SUPER PI 32M，8分49

**Origin_Unknown** · 01-08-2008, 07:09 AM

wonder how they perform under water?

I have been waiting to get a new processor for quite a while. In the meantime, I have upgraded to Corsair Domonator PC-9136 memory and the required parts for my first water cooling system.

It will be interesting to push things a bit with my new gear, but I am ultimately going to be very happy if I can achieve 4 GHz stable 24 hr Prime 95 performance while quieting my system down a bit (currently have 7 fans in case, so it gets a bit too noisy sometimes).

**strange|ife** · 01-09-2008, 01:19 AM

very tempting. what is retail price on these

**ante_ante** · 01-09-2008, 02:38 AM

Any stores in europe that have preorder on these E8X00 cpus ?? Really want one now

**lukas69** · 01-09-2008, 06:35 AM

Withe Box is only for press?
retail arrive before end this month?

**Jacky** · 01-09-2008, 07:52 AM

I wonder why there is no unlocked dual core from Intel? Wouldn't they sell nicely for 300-400$? (ln dream isn't it?)

Btw 1.43v@4.5ghz prime stable, what cooling was it, it seems I overlooked it...

**De1337** · 01-09-2008, 08:02 AM

This is crazy...

AMD really needs to step up soon

**trans am** · 01-09-2008, 03:34 PM

This is the highest binned c2d 45nm./ I'm thinking the 80.00 price diff over the 8400 is justified.

the extra .5 multi is going to make all the difference if you want to eliminate any issues with running high fsb. This is my next chip.

nice review! / PREVIEW

393, I believe the OP meant this will be the first retail 45nm CPU with a stock frequency over 3GHz (it's actually 3.16GHz [=333*9.5]).

**dinos22** · 01-09-2008, 07:06 PM

got a couple of boxes today

**fireice2** · 01-09-2008, 07:54 PM

@dinos

where do you guys get these? Just got rid of my E6700.

Need a new procone bad.

**dinos22** · 01-09-2008, 08:17 PM

Australian retailers are selling the CPUs now

**fireice2** · 01-09-2008, 08:32 PM

waaaa!!! When will these ones come to out place.

I want to go to Aussie right now!

**LagunaX** · 01-09-2008, 10:00 PM

Australian ebayers are also selling in ebay usa. Shipping is steep though.

**LiViD** · 01-09-2008, 10:02 PM

I'm looking very forward to having these E8 series processors come out in Canada. I'm just wondering if there will be any benefits from switching out my E6850 to an E8400, other than reduced TDP?

Lower power consumption
Lower temps
More overclocking headroom (4Ghz+)
More performance per clock
SSE4 support

I would suggest you to move to quad core Q9xxx series because I don't think you will notice much difference other than lower temps and power consumptions.

**LiViD** · 01-10-2008, 07:55 AM

I was considering a Q9xxx, but I really have no need for Quad Core at this time. Only so few apps and games take advantage of it, and it's an ePe*is extension for most users as of now. :P
