Asi Partner will have stock on the E6850 (Price at $295 Cdn) on July 17.

Thats going to be a heck of a processor.

Too bad it doesn't have an unlocked multi.

Not as important with the newer p5k boards. It has a very high default multi as well. I paid $970 for my X6800 with an unlocked multi. I can hit close to 4ghz on air but these chips will do the same for a third of the price.

It runs at 333 x 9 Multi stock

Wow, that is great news. I am still stuck on getting this or the quad. I just cannot make up my mind

Actually the 1333 (QDR) chips are the biggest CON intel has done in recent years. There just pre overclocked chips....nothing more.

Bigges con? Not really, they're just a new Revision which allows the core to be pushed further in FSB speed.

Just like the Q6600 that are coming out with a GO revision. This was also done with the 5xx series transition to the 6xx series and then the 6x5 series.

So, it's all a processor update which allows a few tricks.

New Revision? New power management and this time a new FSB speed, not bad but I'd rather a Q6600 for $270 myself, except I ain't buying till 2010.
