E6600 VS E6750

[VegasBob]

Almost everywhere I look, the E6600 is more expensive than the E6750. What's the hook?

 

[Maziar]

its because intel wants its costumers to buy 1333MHZ FSB

 

[MrCommunistGen]

The E6600 is an older model. The E6x00 have been replaced with E6x50 which run on the faster 1333MHz bus. The new models are a bit faster stock but harder to overclock due to the already high stock FSB speed coming closer to motherboards' max FSBs.

e6750 run cooler? or they the same?

 

[nukchebi0]

Yes. It has G0 stepping, which is more energy efficient.

 

[zenmaster]

It runs cooler and will overclock more with quality RAM.
Intel has simply not cut the prices on the E6600.

If you want to talk about a CPU being expensive relative to its performance... go look up prices on Pentium 3s. Yes, they're still available for sale... typically in the $100 range.

Why are they selling those? Are they left over stock from 2001?
