Xeon X3210 quad vs q6600 quad

[Subliminal Aura]

Yes the q6600 is faster at stock but how good is the Xeon quad ?

Can it be overclocked ?

I'm interested to know as I have spotted them at SILLY money !

Edited as I was thinking of a different model.

 

[Jokester]

Xeon X3210 is LGA775.

They're the same chips essentially so expect them to overclock much the same (you'll need a good motherboard though).

I was looking at these too.

Why are they lower in price?

 

[Datamonkey]

These do look like the chip to get,

OcUK when can you get some in lol.

Hi there

We have just gotten new lower prices from Intel today on these and we shall be placing them on the website today.

The only info I have got is as posted on another thread :

Some notes off someone's blog.

What would be interesting to know is as to what mobos are compatible with the Xeon but in all fairness from what I have seen over the past few months the motherboard doesn't have to be that special as the Xeon is a Kentsfield.

ps Well done ocuk in trying to get hold of these beauties.

good stuff. btw the description for your x3210 is wrong, it says its a 2.4ghz part on the website

Duel Intel Xeon X3210s might be in order nice rig btw

[Datamonkey]

So will one of these chips work on the bad axe 2?

Would love to get one of these come pay day. Nice upgrade for my 6400.

If you want duallies you have to go to a LGA771 motherboard.

as far as i know, the 3200 series are only single CPUs... for dual you'd need a 771 mobo with the 5200 series.


anyone know where there are some benchmarks, reviews or comparisons of these new Xeon's compared to the C2Q's ?

 

[lay-z-boy]

They overclock well with low voltage

Sort of like the opty's.

 

[drak3]

Any links about clocking these?

They should 'clock just like the C2Q brethren.

 

[drak3]

I found a thread on XS with a 3210 ES clocked at 3.5Ghz with 1.28v.

The guy ran wPrime on 4 cores and got 12.5sec for the 32M test.

I ran wPrime on mine just now to find out that it can do 30sec with 2 cores.



(Maybe he used only 1 core and got 12.5sec?)

 

[BillytheImpaler]

Why the confusion, that sounds about right to me?

EDIT becasue you edited :

(Maybe he used only 1 core and got 12.5sec?)

Lower times are better.

 

[drak3]

well its 2 cores vs 4 cores. So technically a 4 core X2 can do it 15sec?

C2D tech is supposed to be faster?
