Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Preview: The Desktop Gets a 1333MHz FSB

General Performance - PC WorldBench 6
PC WorldBench 6 focuses mostly on single application performance, with only a single multitasking benchmark in the entire suite. Here we see performance parity between the E6420 and AMD's X2 5600+, and very little impact from the 1333MHz FSB:

Cool, so basically my E4400 oc'd to 3.0GHz @ 1333MHz fsb is essentially an E6850 with half the L2 cache (2MB vs 4MB). For only $135 it's giving me quite the bang-for-the-buck. :DJmsAndrsn - Monday, June 25, 2007 - link

sorry, forgot to mention i dropped the multiplier to 9x. =)Not enough heatsink to cool 3.3Ghz to a temp i was satisfied with.

Slightly off topic, but since the 1333 FSB has 10.6 GB/s bandwidth (1333 x 64bit) I can use DDR-667 in dual channel mode(also 10.6 GB/s[667 x 128 bit]) without any performance hit right?bamacre - Monday, June 25, 2007 - link
Yup. At stock speeds you'll only need 667mhz DDR2 for the 1333mhz FSB C2D's. And of course 533mhz DDR2 for 1066mhz C2D's.gigahertz20 - Monday, June 25, 2007 - link
Gary Key,I've been waiting for your promised P35 roundup article you mentioned in your May 30th "Gigabyte GA-P35T-DQ6: DDR3 comes a knocking, again" article. Any word on what day this week it will be posted? I'm eagerly waiting the release of the article so I finally buy my long awaited Core 2 Duo setup, I just need a solid motherboard to go with it.

If you give up waiting, go for the MSi P6N-SLI Platinum. Awesome 650i-SLI board. She's rock solid for me @ 1333MHz fsb, only voltage increase is on the vcore, and I'm running 4GB dual-channel paired in the four DIMM slots. Fast and stable, just as I'd wanted.gigahertz20 - Monday, June 25, 2007 - link
Is the article on time to be published this week?Deusfaux - Monday, June 25, 2007 - link
I assume your comparisons of the 2 FSBs are keeping end clock speed the same?sc3252 - Monday, June 25, 2007 - link
Why don't your new articles have tests where you run multiple applications at the same time, I really enjoyed reading older articles how the cpu's stood up to multitasking. Its nice that we have benchmarks showing how much faster the new cpu's are, but I don't think it shows how we will really be using the computer.For example I will be using my computer much different then say playing one game strictly. When I play world of warcraft I will usually have itunes open playing a song, and Firefox open looking up where to turn in my next quest. It would be nice if in future articles you could create a benchmark doing some of those things.
