so what is the benefit of higher FSB?

Higher bandwidth can be achieved where communications between CPU, RAM n NB is done via FSB in intel based system.

IF providing the latencies due to straps and so forth are the same previously. That's the caveat

Hey buddy! u use difficult language...
dun get what u meant coz i'm not highly educated...

Right, some updates on these nice procs running at FSB 1333 Mhz. Not much of a speed increase but still, some increase is better than none!

Estimated price for E6850, quoted at the rumoured USD 266. Imagine how much the E6750 and E6550 will be!!!

isit they produce this higher fsb is to make the balancing of ram Mhz???
cuz the ram mhz is higher but the proc fsb is still upgring so slow

E6550, E6750 and E6850 have higher FSB rating, does that means it is faster than other E6xxx at stock?

E6550, 333 x 7 = 2331MHz @ 2.33GHz
E6750, 333 x 8 = 2664MHz @ 2.66GHz
E6850, 333 x 9 = 2997MHz @ 3.0GHz

i guess it should be....i hope e6550 will b affortable

1333 FSB, will fully utilize DDR2-667 E6550 might be affordable, but 775 boards aren't

E6850 ~USD266
E6750 ~USD183
E6650 ~USD163

however the multiplier decrease

E6550, 333 x 7 = 2331MHz @ 2.33GHz compare to E6600, 266 x 9 = 2394Mhz
E6750, 333 x 8 = 2664MHz @ 2.66GHz compare to E6700, 266 x 10 = 2660Mhz
E6850, 333 x 9 = 2997MHz @ 3.0GHz compare to X6800, 266 x 11 = 2926Mhz

This processor uses new stepping, G0. It seems to oc higher than FSB266 parts.

should i wait for these new proces or go ahead with the current E6600 ? Im planning to built a new rig but not sure whether to wait till the new price drop at july 22 or the new chips

If u r not desperately need a new rig then just wait until the next price cut. By that time if this new processor still within ur budget just grab it.

Don't mind the decreasing of multiplier, high FSB also great already even at stock

Wondering the price later

Planning to get the E6650 when its out..but just wondering wether my FSB1066 mobo is compatible.. ?

then it's chance for student like mu to buy c2d e6600 if the price under rm500

but the mobo still pricy like Gigabte 965P DS-3

AFAIK, mobos with FSB1066 can't support these new processors.

However, I read some where that P965 can support with BIOS updates. Unconfirm though. Anybody knows?

yap, some mobo need to update bios, just few chipset natively support 1333 FSB, nvidia 680i, 650i, intel G33 and P35... some of p965 and i975x need to update bios

That beats the purpose........

No, mobo 965 currently unable to support the the 1333Mhz processor. Since last time I purchase the e6750, I can't operate my PC, it run well after I change to DP35DP. Little weird is this type of processor is cheaper than 1066Mhz.
