Don't pretend that you don't do that already.

Forget that lets hope they are delivered by securitas and then we should get them before they hit the shops.

lol back on a serious note, what month are these expected in?

The Pat · 22 May 2006 at 19:41

Also a price would be good. Searched the threads could only find dollars, pounds would be appreciated.

Rain Man · 22 May 2006 at 19:42

Use a currency converter? The english prices wont be much different than the american ones

The Pat · 22 May 2006 at 19:43

I wish it would be a straight conversion. Not really gonna happen.

Intel still plan to have their EE edition Conroe as a launch part. 3.33Ghz on a 1333FSB! UK price should be in the £680-720 range.

This should be the daddy until next year so future proof for @ least 9-12 months.

Has this cpu been confirmed for launch

PikeyPriest · 22 May 2006 at 23:38

Looking forward to conroe!

Going to change from a 2.2 ghz p4 (non-HT) to a mid-range conroe when they come out. I`m going to wait a few days to find a decent MB/RAM combo (for stability and OC) then im going to order my new PC.

Think the E6600 was what i`m hoping to get, but obviously it will depend on the price.

Rain Man · 23 May 2006 at 00:06

Has anyone got like a list of which speeds are going to be on which chips?

The Pat · 23 May 2006 at 00:30

Taken from another thread.

Core Extreme Edition Series - 1333MHz FSB, EM64T, EIST, VT, SSE4
Core Extreme Edition - 3.33GHz, 1333MHz FSB, 32+32KB L1, 4MB L2, Dual Core, TDP 95W - $999 - Q3

Core E6000 Series - 1066MHz FSB, EM64T, EIST, VT, SSE4
Core E6800 - 2.93GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 32+32KB L1, 4MB L2, Dual Core, TDP 65W - $720 - Q4
Core E6700 - 2.67GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 32+32KB L1, 4MB L2, Dual Core, TDP 65W - $529 - Q3
Core E6600 - 2.40GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 32+32KB L1, 4MB L2, Dual Core, TDP 65W - $315 - Q3

utherpendragon · 23 May 2006 at 00:37

If Uk prices aren't jakked up too much the 6600 looks like a very sweet deal

Energize · 23 May 2006 at 00:38

The prices are usually converted as if they were euros. So its probably something like this.

Core EE - 3.33GHz, 1333MHz FSB, 32+32KB L1, 4MB L2, Dual Core, TDP 95W - £681 - Q3
Core E6800 - 2.93GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 32+32KB L1, 4MB L2, Dual Core, TDP 65W - £490 - Q4
Core E6700 - 2.67GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 32+32KB L1, 4MB L2, Dual Core, TDP 65W - £360 - Q3
Core E6600 - 2.40GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 32+32KB L1, 4MB L2, Dual Core, TDP 65W - £214 - Q3
Core E6400 - 2.13GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 32+32KB L1, 2MB L2, Dual Core, TDP 65W - £163 - Q3
Core E6300 - 1.86GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 32+32KB L1, 2MB L2, Dual Core, TDP 65W - £143 - Q3

Rain Man · 23 May 2006 at 00:48

I can really see myself being greedy and going for the e6700 like im sure a few people will do. We'll have to see what happens with the clocks

PikeyPriest · 23 May 2006 at 01:03

If those are the rough prices i will definitely grab a E6600 when i know a nice mem/MB combination.

str · 23 May 2006 at 01:16

What's different about the EE apart from it having the higher FSB and TDP 95w compared to 65w like the others?

It's had a Vcore bump? If so I guess it's possible Intel have excellent yields with Conroe meaning they probably will overclock amazingly well even at the bottom end of the price range.

utherpendragon · 23 May 2006 at 01:40

They're just the highest bin, and will probably overclock the most, and if it carries on the xe tradition it will have an unlocked multiplier - great for overcoming any FSB limit. I don't think they will use a higher voltage than the other conroes, its just the higher clocks and the room they factor in for overclocking that gives it a higher TDP.
