simple answer, look at the FSB speed, that's why the price is same.

so performance wise which one you think is quicker? 9300 or 6600?

Q9450 FTW xD

Better u get the Q6600 with G0 stepping with large cache for each core. That's more than enough.

i wan to ask...will these new q9450 really can archive high fsb? current q6600 alot of them cant pass 500fsb and for q9450 is multi 8x which means it really need 500fsb to archive 4ghz...q6600 can be a bit easy due to its 9x multi...i just hope these new yorkies can hit higher fsb which is over 500 easy without hassle..i assume over 500fsb by aircooling tho for standard.

Hope after CNY feb E8500 is out...whahahahaha.....i going get one

march april may

I thought those Dual Cores are still subjected to arrive at 20th January? Only the Quaddies are delayed right?

Besides that, i can see Bulk Section popping out with Penryn already. So by Feb, you are most definitely seeing them at shelves...

Still deciding whether to go for Q9450. It's 8x multiplier, going over 4Ghz need >500FSB to do that. There's FSB limit. Q9550 is almost RM2k. -.-

Since you already own the Q6600, i guess you can have plenty of waiting time and see whether its achievable or not If its a dissapointment, you wont loose anything as well..LOL..

walao.. not getting penryn(new), much likely hunting for 2nd later

See how then. Not in a rush Still have to settle SB case first.

Q6600 and Q9450 nth diffrent both 1066FSB and 8 cache......only Q9450 is 45nm so can clock to 4ghz comapre to Q6600 is 3.6ghz.....more 400mhz u need pay 2k more....sienz lar....=.=ll

Q9450 is 12MB cache and 1333FSB FYI. And the performance difference is quite a gap. Q9450 is around RM1200. RM1800~RM2000 is Q9550.

Also, 45nm Penryn runs much cooler than current 65nm with much less vcore.

E8200 and E8400 already on Lowyat price list.

Who want to be the first owner?

I thought the Pennryn will launch first then Wolfdale?

then it turns out to be Wolfdale is 'faster' than Pennryn..

Penryn is the whole family which includes Wolfdale (dual-core) and Yorkfield (quad-core)...

E8200 = RM680
E8400 = RM750

from cycom. But dunno got stock or not? any 1 can go find out?

Is it a nice time to get a E8400?
