It’s been known for a while that Intel was planning to release updated C2D processors with a 1333FSB, and that is finally becoming a reality sometime this summer. We’ve posted a performance preview of the E6750 chip which clocks in at 2.66GHz to show you what to expect. While the stock speed won’t impress big overclockers, maybe the 3.44GHz overclock on stock voltages will!
For the non-overclockers, you will still have the benefit of faster than E6700 speeds and also the ability to run 1:1 ratio with your DDR3-1333 memory, should you decide to buy some. If DDR3 prices don’t go down by the time these new processors launch though, it might be one of the rare times where the ram costs twice as much as the CPU.
