I'd stick with a E8500 for $90 less or a E8400 for $100 less. Although, the E7300 looks very appealing at $145.

Well people are hitting 4.9 on air with the 8600s new E0 stepping. Depends on how big you want your e-penis to be.

E0 steppings for E8x00 will come soon too, as well as price drops once Nehalem is released. I certainly like the E8600, I just don't like its $90 premium over the E8500.

Also X-bit labs reviews the E8600: http://xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/d [...] e8600.html

Ross @ OCF got his E8600 to 5.4 on water.

I'd like to know what the max stable speed is on air. I can care less about a cpu-z screenshot. Those are easy to get. I got a 3.8 on a e2180 before but it would only run 3.2 on air. I hope the benches start pouring in.

I prefer air over water as well. Check out X-bits review: http://xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/d [...] e8600.html

X-bit labs got their E8600 that high on air @ 1.488v.

Any news of other Intel releases for the Wolfdale and Yorkfield? Any good reference site (don't say google, I've been looking for this info for the past 30 minutes)? I only know about the Q9650 which is just like the QX9650, but with locked multiplier. Is there any plan for an non-extreme QX9770?

New Quads are due to be released Aug 10th.

There are no plans for any more High-End C2Quads at this point in time.
There has been some discussion of a very low 8xxx Quads.

This will be a nice upgrade from my hot X2 6000+. Looking forward to pushing it past 4 Ghz on air, something my 6000 can only dream of. And the best part will be the temps. Going from 90nm to a much less power hungry and cooler 45nm.
