Arent they supposed to release some new revisions in the next month or so? I remember reading they were going to release a new revision to the E6300 and the E6400 in Q' 2 of this year, both of these revisions being that these chips will be updated with a full 4MB of L2 cache. Is this still the plan or am i just completely lost on this one.

They're fsb ramps to 1333mhz to fit with the new *3* chipsets that are about to come out with ddr3 support.
bottom end chips are sticking with 2mb l2 cache though there is some pentiums coming (read new celeron) which are the old yonah core. Its also a major price drop across the board, they're taking the price fight to amd and making room for more desktop quad cores

hmmmmm 6850 for 266 may be a worthwhile upgrade for me since this chip doenst like to oc, im doing my memory to gskill, my board is rma and getting a new one in the mail...might as well do the processor too!

Yeah why not. However might I correct you on your statement?
Your E6400 chip is clocked at 2.13Ghz stock. You've overclocked it over 3Ghz with a much more broader FSB. That's almost a 1 Ghz overclock. I wouldn't call that a chip that doesn't like to oc
That of course doesn't mean that an e6850 won't do better of course. But I'd say a 3 ghz core 2 chip will run everything you want. You might want to keep your current chip and wait for a 45nm Penryn or so. You're probably going to want one of those too, right?

[z3speed4me]

yea.... but when are the comming out and are those going to cost one arm or both of them?

[NarkotikBuzz]

No these chips were going to be labeled E6420, and E6320, and would be the same chip just with the added 2MB od L2 cache so they would be all be up to 4 MB like the rest.....i know that i read this, i am trying to find out if anyone else read this as well, and when it is coming to fruition.

[NarkotikBuzz]

I just found out that these chips will be out next month. The E6420, and the E6320, which will both have the upgrade of a full 4MB of L2 cache, and both of these chips will be under 200 dollars! The E6420, which is the one i want is going to be priced at 183 dollars. Fantastic! Looks like i will be starting my build next month!!!
