Intel Q9650 Noob Question

[adsldave]

I was going to pre-order the intel q9650 but i noticed that on this screen it states the clock speed at 3.0ghz:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/search_results.php?sortby=priceDesc&groupid=701&search=intel+q9650

But when i went into the product description it lists the clock speeds at 2.83ghz:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-231-IN

Is this just a simple error by overclockers ? or does it actuall run at 2.83ghz as i want a 3.0ghz without having to overclock.

not worth it at taht price u can get second hand Qx9650 for 250 ~280

But bear in mind the new Q9650's should be the new E0 stepping and therefore clock better

he speaks of truth but for me it a bit to steep u always could wait a bit till it goes down price or just buy q9450 or q6600 and overclocked it and wait for nehalm

Typo, its 9x Multi and is a 1333FSB (333) CPU so 3GHZ.

Aren't the Q9650's due to halve in price next week ?

Was thinking of getting one myself

 

[helmutcheese]

Why would a new launched CPU 1/2 in price after 1 week ?.

 

[duc999]

My bad, getting mixed up with the 9000 series these days

Q9550 perhaps ?

Q9550 perhaps ?

Deffo being slashed in price.

Does anyone know if the new stock of 9550's coming in are likely to have the EO stepping?

Yeah new stock should be, so you'll have to go it a while until old stock is cleared to have a good chance of getting one, otherwise OcUK might sell the E0 steppings and highlight that as they did with the Q6600.
