Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 Spotted in the Wild

XtremeSystems forum member VictorWang has come across early engineering samples of Intel’s upcoming Core 2 Duo E6850. The Core 2 Duo E6850 engineering samples are stepping 9 revision E0. Stock voltage on the Core 2 Duo E6850 engineer samples vary between 1.22-1.24-volts.

One thing I found odd is that despite this chip having better specs over the X6800, it’s not considered an Extreme Edition. The 1333FSB is also a nice boost though, but it appears these chips don’t enjoy high voltages like some current Cores. Of course, this is -one- sample we are dealing with. Is this something that you should be excited about? Not if you have a current Core 2 Duo chip… there’s no need to consider an upgrade.
