5.2? Holy shit, any idea about the bus speed x mult? General E8xxx is 333 x mult. But 333 x 11 = 3.66 ;~;

Well some of the gigabyte P45 chipsets can supposedly have upto 600Mhz bus speed .. I think with that or similar mobo it will easily go to 5.0Ghz .

this will have 10.5 multi , so even with a P35 it should do as much cooling can handle . for gaming no need to even OC , stock will be enough .

OMG EPIC EPIC



3.5 GHz, wow

nice post count Sidhu - "2009"



anyways, sad to see 8400 coming to EOL



But the 8700 will be one hell of a chip . AMD is in deepshit if the AM3 doesnt yeild proper results.

omg 3.5ghz can't wait to see intel releasing chips above 4ghz...

What? E8400 is EOL already? Why not just reduce its price . If its price was comparable to that of E7300, I would have been able to get it.

where did you get this information???? Not even XS has any concrete information about this chip. Thread has been pulled down by Intel and you talk about Air OC results.



Also as far as price is concerned nothing to be happy about, next price cut would happen only in the next quarter around April. So any expected price drop in E8600/8500 would happen only by May-June if any.....

What makes u feel this chip wont do 5.2-3G on Air with a TRUE?



Quite easily it'd. If the E8600 E0 stepping could easily churn 5G, this'd hands down. I'm betting 5.5G with a push-pull config using the TRUE.



And XS is not the first and the last source of info on comp-tech in this world. Thats a really wrong notion Banik.

Unlike so many people having ooh and aah orgasm at the hint of E8700, I don't find the new processor such a huge news. Bigger is the news of Q8200s with a thermal envelope of 65W. That is at least some step forward.



we already have E8600 @ 3.33 and then we have these chips called E8500, E8400, E8300, E7300, E7200, E7500 etc and almost all of them will easily do 3.5Ghz @ 24X7 without too much of bump in volts. How E8700 differs from E8400 @ 3.5Ghz or E8600 @ 3.5 Ghz. Even at stock, it's such a nominal increase in speed.



I doubt there is anything E8700 can do and E8400 (E0) won't be able to do.

That was just an example, what I was saying is there is no concrete information, before the chips hit retail, ES samples are floated around, there have been no ES samples out, and simply no news out. And now tell me what makes you sure that they will hit 5.2-5.3G on air. Any link to back you???

Banik rightly said , one cant say anything about the new processor unless their samples comes out and only after the benchmarks picture will be clear......

And at 5.0ghz or above any chip whether it is e8600 or 8700 need quite a voltage and becomes very hot and sufficient cooling is required so on air it will not be possible to get higher ghz unless air cooling is done in siberia

Here's what an E8600 could do, in Pune. Ambient temps of lets say 25'C at appo's place.



Review Needed for Mobo MSI 785G-E53.....to be used with AMD x4 630 !!



A 4.5G super-stable for normal usage. Wont 4.7G (heck not that its really required!) be easily possible? Beats the Quads hands down, at least in gaming i.e

^^ Ok fine, but what make you think that E8700 is not the E8600 just with a bump in speed? It's simply binning the speed from 3.33 Ghz to 3.5 Ghz. Same stock, same batch just binning the speed a few mhz higher.



And the thing is that how far a chip goes remains theoretically same even though model name has changed. This is the reason why E8400 is such a killer chip. And this is the reason why E0 first came to E8600 and E8500 and it is still to be extended to E8300 and below.

Doesn't this require us to have a fresh look at C2D versus C2Q Debate??
