Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 vs E6850

Etalyx · 09-August-07, 01:46 PM

Hey guys. Just got a simple question. I'm not very well-versed on the ins and outs of computer parts, but I came across this on Newegg when shopping around and was wondering if anyone could explain it to me.

The E6700 is $317 (Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 Conroe 2.66GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail) meanwhile the E6850 is $309 (Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Conroe 3.0GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail). I was trying to figure out why the latter is cheaper than the one that would appear to be beneath it in processing power. Anyone explain it to me? Thanks

Personally, I would get the E6700. X10 multiplier for the win. If your not overclocking then get the E6850 it is faster at stock. They'll have very similar max overclocks but I reckon it would be slightly easier with the E6700.

6850 has 1333mhz FSB, 6700 is 1066.
The 6850 is probably cheaper as it is the newer chip. Perhaps Intel has stopped making the 6700 and supply is starting to get tight.

E6700 got 1066MHZ front side bus ...
E6850 got 1333MHZ front side bus....

Actually those E6850s have been doing 4Ghz+ on air and have hit 4.5Ghz on just water.
