About The Conroe Refresh

[zerobeta]

Reading the article over at dailytech I found out intel will release some new corone models in 2007

And they are:

Processor Number | Core Frequency | Bus Frequency | L2 Cache
E6850, 3 GHz, 1333 MHz, 4MB
E6800, 2.93 GHz, 1066 MHz, 4MB
E6750, 2.66 GHz, 1333 MHz, 4MB
E6650 2.33 GHz, 1333 MHz, 4MB

First, I wonder if anyone knows in what month exactly will the models arrive?

Second, why does the 6800 model does not have 1333MHz bus like the other models? I assume higher bus is better...

The E6600 is clocked at 2.4GHz, but the better (better as in model name) E6650 only is 2.33GHz, and the only difference is the larger Bus Frequency, will that compensate over the lower Core Frequency?

What do they mean by "Three refreshed models will debut with the upcoming Bearlake 3 series chipsets"? For all I know, a chipset is found on Motherboards, not on CPUs...

Thanks

As you should know from now on AMD has taught us lots of things relate to a high frequency speed of CPUs have you also noted that they all increase in speed :lol: ?

What do you mean?

These models are higher clocked, so they will be faster. Of course I probebly won't notice much difference, only in specific cases. The higher the clock speed the better the cpu.

Another question: I assume the E6800 will performe pretty much the same as the X6800, as they both clocked the same?
