As both the E6600 and the E6850 both have a 9x multi are they basically same thing, other than the E6850 designed to be autodetected as 333Mhz FSB and having to manually set for the E6600 to FSB 333 from 266? Or is the new 1333 chip intrinsically better and will oc more?
Cheers
 
Ok I understand, They are basically the same chip architecturally with the same Multi, same cache etc, but the dies chosen for the E6850 seem to have more overclocking headroom than the ones chosen to become E6600's. The E6850 are garanteed to run at 1333FSB (333x4) and the E6600 only garanteed to run 1066FSB (though mine runs fine at 1600FSB).
