Is the QX6800 more rare?

QX6800's hard to find. Ebay has 2 for sale, and Newegg has none?? QX6850's are plentiful though, why?

Will this be the future P4 3.4GHz socket 478?

QX6800 introduction date: 9 April 2007

QX6850 introduction date: 16 July 2007

Also note: P35 chipset introduction: 21 May 2007

Presumably once 1333MHz FSB boards were available, the appeal of 1066MHz CPUs-- particularly thousand-dollar enthusiast ones-- was hindered-- so it had about a month and a half of maximum appeal.

It's old tech; the QX6850 replaced the QX6800. Besides which, Intel moved to the 45nm process late spring; which is faster, cooler and performs better.

The QX6850 wasn't out and in the market till july though. The QX6800 was in late june.

This was the model we used in the Order 66 system that me and Necro worked on. We paid roughly $1500 for that CPU, it was an engineering sample.

The QX6850 hit the ORB the week after we finished, I think the two top guys for Intel (Kingpin) had them as we had the QX6800ES. It was a short lived CPU, but they are still fast. (buy a Q6600 and OC it, it works for your wallet that way)

IIRC -
QX6800 = 266MHz stock some B3 some G0
QX6850 = 333MHz stock all G0

So, the QX6800's probably not as good as the QX6850
