Hopefully this is the end of the old Q6600 with the old stepping. Anyone have any idea when/who has the Quad with the new G-O stepping? :bounce:

I have searched over the weekend and didn't find anybody that "for sure" has it. They talk about the tank guys still taking pre-orders (But I think they are over a thousand pre-orders) and some e-mail they got from tank-guys as of like July 20 they still hadn't even received any of the G0 stepping yet. (I guess they still think mid-Augs, to Sept). I hope not. I have seen a couple of other sites that are sold out of the q6600 and I thought that was strange.
Would it be Intel that is really controlling the product (what they ship out) or well newegg.com actually have both products?
Newegg.com places order for more q6600 intel sends newegg what they still have left? Or could newegg actually ask for the G0 stepping?

I thought that retailers and e-tailers have no ability to state which stepping of any CPU they get from intel. They just get whatever intel sends them.

I went with tankguys just to ensure I get what I want. Its worth waiting instead of getting a B3.

I also thought that newegg and other retailers were going to price the q6600 @ 266 bucks as well as the other processors respectively. I guess it was a dream really. Quad for under 300? I still have yet to see it sadly.

I talked with Newegg about an ETA for the Q6600, and they had none. It could be because they just ran out and havent placed the order for more yet. They will probably get another batch from Intel in a couple weeks, most likely any retailer you buy from now is going to have the B3 stepping. Your best bet is probably to wait for the next shipment that Newegg receives, but even that isn't a guarantee.

I think there is something fishy going on. The new processors like the e6850 and 6750 have not been been posted yet by newegg. I have a feeling that they will have the quad core in less that a couple of weeks.

Something tells me we won't see GO for a while. B3 is going to be around till august at least. No one really knows how many B3 Q6600s intel had in stock.

I'm just glad I went with tankguys. :D

The www.mwave.com is B3. Look down the page. It states that it is B3.
