Default Core 2 Line-Up Breakdown
Intel has been bumping FSB of chips for none other reason than marketing. Fact is, while they're faster at stock, they don't top out as well as the predecessors. Why? I've compiled this list to show you what the non-Extreme CPUs really are, by multipliers.

Dual Core CPUs:
  • 7x
    E6300
    E6320 (4MB L2 version of E6300)
    E6550 (G0 revision of E6320)
  • 8x
    E1200
    E2140
    E6400
    E6420 (4MB L2 version of E6400)
    E6750 (G0 revision of E6420)
    E8200 (45nm 6MB L2 version of E6750)
  • 8.5x
    E8300
  • 9x
    E2160
    E4300
    E6600
    E6850 (G0 revision of E6600)
    E8400 (45nm 6MB L2 version of E6850)
  • 9.5x
    E7200
    E8500
  • 10x
    E1400
    E2180
    E4400
    E6700
    E8600 (45nm 6MB L2 version of E6700)
  • 11x
    E2200
    E4500
  • 12x
    E4600
  • 13x
    E4700

Quad Core CPUs:
  • 7.5x
    Q9300
  • 8x
    X3210
    Q9450 (45nm 12MB L2 version of X3210)
  • 8.5x
    Q9550
  • 9x
    Q6600
    X3220 (Xeon version of Q6600)
    Q9650 (45nm 12MB L2 version of Q6600)
  • 10x
    Q6700
    X3230 (Xeon version of Q6700)

As we all know, Intel slaps 2 dual-core dies together and calls it a quad with a new model number. So which quad is which dual?

Direct Quad vs Dual Comparison:
  • X3210
    E6420
    E6750
  • X3220/Q6600
    E6600
    E6850
  • Q6700
    E6700
  • Q9300
    Does not exist. .5x multiplier below E8200.
  • Q9450
    E8200
  • Q9550
    E8300
  • Q9650
    E8400

So now if you're looking to buy a quad and don't know how it'll overclock, then you can just refer to its dual-core cousin. Please note that quad-core overclocks a bit less than its dual-core equivalent.

The Q9550 is between the E8200 and E8400 not the E8400 and E8500.

Fact is, not everyone overclocks. They are bumping the FSB because it increases stock performance for those uncomfortable overclocking. Multipliers aren't everything, the Q6600 is only made by putting two E6600s together, not by putting two E6850s together.

Dont forget the Pentium Dual core series, they are just Core2 with less cache

Q6600 actually is 2x E6850's if you think about it. E6600 and E6850 are the same chips, only the latter was given the G0 revision. To sum that up, early B3 Q6600's are made from 2x E6600's while the G0 ones are from 2x E6850's, but in essence they're just the same chip with a different core revision, a.k.a marketing strategy that allows them to once again sell the E6600 as E6850 for the same price.

Even if the user doesn't overclock, you cannot deny that they aren't the same chips on different core revisions. What makes you think I don't know it is to increase stock performance? All I'm saying is that by doing so, they can resell the same thing for more money. I even mentioned it here:
