I think in gaming its on par with Athlon 64

ya u re rite.., most of basic apps today still not yet optimized for 2 core, let alone 4 cores
I too will prefer E6850 which has higher clocks.

Certain games already take advantage for multi core processor, even not 100% utilise.

i prefer 6750 as 2.66GHz seems to be enough even when running at stock speed. But couldnt understand the big difference in price for 6750 and 6850 (at USD183 and USD266 each). The gap consider quite big.

btw, anyone heard the likely of price cut on 2nd september? Read that it only affected certain processor only though

I guess it's because you have to pay more premium for the top end E6x50 series. Due to the hugh price difference, I still think the E6750 is the best price:performance CPU for these series. Planning to get this one!!!

Eh? Another price cut? Kindly give some links pls!

Yes, Celeron replacement.


Core 2 Solo, Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad is using exactly the same architecture. Even Xeon and mobile C2D oso have the same one.

tell me hows the performance kmarc...you buy first and test

i think i'm getting E6750 too, probably next week.. not going to wait for another round of price cut anymore..

by the way, price cut twice in a quarter? that's rare i think.. has this happen before? it's either Intel is worrying of AMD, or Intel just don't wanna give AMD any chance to counter...

Ok. However, I'm still deciding on which mobo to get. Definitely a P35 (as X38 is not coming out so soon). I still want to search around on the compatibility of P35 with future procs e.g. penryn (which needs VRM 11.0 compliance). Anybody knows?

Probably going to get a gigabyte mobo.....

Cool. What mobo are you going to get? Or you have one already?

most probably Gigabyte's P35C-DS3R, or if budget allow, maybe DS4 or Asus P5K-E... not much into overclocking anyway..

the x38 is same as p35 except for the ability to sli? i mean hows the sli speed? full 2 slot 16x?well i be going for p35 with gigabyte p35 dq6....but i still unsure abt this mobo with asus pk5 deluxe......also i heard DFI has new p35 going to launch soon around august end or july....

Ok. Going to check out this mobo too. Where will you be getting this from? How much is it anyway?

P35C cost around RM570 at Lowyat (base on the price list..) but if you survey and ask around, probably can get RM510

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 CPU





Sorry for blur pic.

It's interesting enough that the proc is already available for sale, but in official intel website there isn't any info about the new proc... very interesting indeed

Hi ahpaul82, where you got it and how much you got it for? Thanks

Only on sales after 22nd July,
Sorry.
