Intel has o huge problem with the new quads ,the Q1 show that rumors are right .They have the advantage of time and money to fix it in doors.
AMD hasn't the money and advantage of performents crown, they have debit ,losing money every quarter, they are wiling to sell even the scrap chip,I'm not blaming them for this.

As a side note, Intel says its low-end Core 2 Duo E8190 will lack support for virtualization and trusted execution technology. If it's going to be the same price and features otherwise as the e8200 what's the point of this CPU? I had read it was going to occupy the $133 price pointwhich made some sense given the feature differences.

Hello.... AMD..... Hello.... Are you there? Hello...

On another point, can any non-server app really use 12mb cache? there is precious little difference today between 1, 2 and 4MB core 2 CPUs. I guess it's a case of new software being optimised.

I still think they've secured their position vs AMD in this, but I note a destinct lack of a 1600FBS in the lineup. Maybe they're holding off on that for now for several reasons.

guess i won't be buying that e6750 afterall, the power consumption stats in the xbitlabs article are amazing. waiting for these 45nm chips gives me a little bit longer to see if the 8800GS will materialize or not.

How well do they overclock, do I need to replace my DDR2-800 with something better? or will my Asus P5K have a way of doing it without stressing my ram?

Wolfdale E8500 goes to 4.3ghz on air with a bit of extra voltage...yikes!
Those XBit labs results are mighty impressive across the board.
12MB cache Q9450 looks like a sweetdeal at those prices.

Gack, do I see a return to half-step multipliers? 2.5GHz at 1333 is a 7.5x multi on the Q9300

Intel might finally get my money with this range of CPU's. The Q9450 or the E8400 look really good to me right now. 12mb of cache, mmmmmm.

That $163 e8200 looks mighty tempting. Great power consumption and thermals too.
Blew the doors off the best dually Green could put up.....and green was at it's effective clock ceiling and the wolf at it's floor.

I wonder what street prices will be.

I still want to go AMD for my next setup, but this looks like a nice deal.

Core 2 Quad Q9450 4 2.66GHz 12MB 1333MHz $316

$300 for a quad core CPU with a 12MB cache looks interesting.

"For example, the 2.83GHz Xeon X3360 will launch at $530, whereas Intel currently sells (PDF) its 2.66GHz Xeon X5355 for $744 and its 3GHz Xeon X5365 for a hefty $1,172."

Not really a fair comparison, X3xxx is LGA775, single socket, X5xxx is LGA771, dual-socket.
