1333 fsb 6850 review posted on HKEPC

[classy]

Its in chinese, but the numbers are easy to understand
6850 numbers
1333 vs 1066

You can go to the first page I guess if you read chinese
Not much of a boost at all. Looks to be on average around 4%. But hey its a sneek peek.

Considering the clockrate only increased by 2.3% and the fact Core 2 Duo doesn't lose much performance at all from a decrease in FSB, I would say these results are expected.

looks like the impact is small for the faster FSB. 3-5% as the reviewer said. I wonder how they got their hands on one ...

They could just be emulating the performance with an X6800.

333x9 for the E6850
333x8 for the E6750

There wouldn't be any other differences between the chips.

If you ask me all the 1333FSB chips are a waste of money.

Why would i pay for that when i can easily just overclock to 1333FSB. Especially since the multipliers are downward unlocked.

They're just cheaping you out on a higher multiplier.

Its like paying a x6800 price for an e6700.

This is true. However, it is an interesting development for non-overclockers. It may herald the arrival of more boards with favorable memory straps or what have you.

it aint exactly difficult to test a 1333FSB chip, just get a current chip and overclock it to 1333FSB, thats all the "new" chip is.

I agree. That should be pretty much exactly the same.

The thing I'm confused about, is that I've seen nothing about 1333FSB on quad-core chips. Surely they are the ones which would gain more from the bus increase, or is Intel having yield problems or something with 1333FSB quad-core parts?

Performance won't really increase unless you increase the overall clock speed. That's what C2D benefits the most from.
