If somebody could test this, it would be good . What are your thoughts

First link is broken.

Anyway, 3DMark isn't the best metric for testing CPU efficiency. Admittedly I didn't read the entire thread so if they did another type of test, feel free to correct me. I'd be surprised if there are any major clock-for-clock differences between the two revisions considering there aren't any actual changes in the architecture (AFAIK).

yes there are changes. The xbitlabs E8600 review covers them

where did you get the E0 one? i got Q9550 from newegg.com. It's still C1 version
