A. Posting a link only and running is oddly reminiscent of 228.6-millimeter.
B. These quad-cores are sweet. Too bad I can't afford them, or anything else for that matter.

(Temporary Hijacking) Someone explain this:

How can Newegg claim to sell a Brisbane X2?

Wow, I had no idea they were that close. If so, then hats off to Intel for powering another fine specimen out so quickly! I hope they can keep pumping out more and more improved Core 2 Uarch. in the near future, too.

Mex - Looks like a differnt core. Maybe a new low watt chip. The volts on it are 1.20v - 1.25v. The Windsor core runs at 1.30v - 1.35v

While I understand that AMD puts out EE versions of cores, that specific 4200+ would still be a Windsor. Brisbane cores are AMD's 65nm chips.

Whatever - It was probably a typo.

I have not seen 4200+ EE befor! Bet you could get a nice clock from that chip!

 

[Mex]

Actually, the word is that AMD's EE chips are crap for overclocking. Besides, in order to OC them, you have to raise the VCore to the level of normal processors, which means that you paid the premium for nothing.

If you can go from 2.2ghz at 1.25v to 2.4ghz - 2.6ghz at 1.35v that seems to be a nice clock to me! But that if just me!
