New Intel CPU.s, Authentic???

[DarkLegacy]

I was debating on another forum about this as I saw not one tech site to my knowledge catch wind of this. Was trying to figure out how authentic this was. It's in Chinese but will also post the Google translated link.

I believe it's authentic since Intel was planning to get processors with the 1333 FSB out soon.

That site has a good history of being on the cutting edge and is well respected.
Looks authentic to me.

Many users like myself are already running speeds like 425 X 8 and well beyond which equals a quad pumped FSB speed of 1700 MHz ( 425 x 4 ) so the only surprising thing is that Intel didn't start releasing 1333 FSB processors sooner. I guess no competition these days means there's no big hurry.

Oh and they've also made some big Boo-Boos! The whole bottom of the Chart is wrong. E6850 owned the whole bottom of the chart or everything from Doom 3 to the bottom of the chart Yet, they're Red as if it lost.

There's a catch. If you're an overclocker you might* want to avoid these. They don't leave a lot of room for Overclocking since the FSB is already at 1333MHz and that means lower Multiplier. In real numbers we're going from 266.7 to 333.33MHz FSB. So now the 9 that your E6600 uses is the same as the 3GHz model 6850. If you don't overclock, its a good deal. If you do overclock, then this is NOT a good deal. Just because it is Intel and C2D (Winners IMHO), doesn't always mean it's Good. Now if it is a TRUE "X" C2D and the multipliers are unlocked, never mind!

Looked at another way, this should have shipped as the original X68 in the first place That's not in Donnie27's opinion, but what Intel themselves said.

Yeah I know, but I spent ~$300 for the 6600 vs ~$266 for these. Ah well, you can never really win in this game
