As the topic states...do the EE chips ramp up in speed as the whole processor line increases in speed, or do they basically represent the max that intels plans on pulling out of the processors?

Well they usualy end up coming out with a faster EE eventualy. The Pentium-D EE 655 should be showing up soon(3.73ghz dual core with HT), but that will be the end of Presler.

I think the EE version is supposed to represent the best intel will ever squeeze out of the technology, but no... they do ramp up as time goes. just look at the 955 extreme edition, a bit later the 965 came out. so if you bought the 955, you thought you had the most out of the presler core, but intel says no you dont, heres the 965![]()
edit for spelling

oh man, i always wanted the socket 478 gallatin core 3.2/3.4Ghz Extreme Edition...too bad they're all Extremely Expensive.
sucks. well, thats what conroe is for. a nice E6600 (2.4Ghz) to hold me over.

The problem is that AMD eventually released ordinary versions of their Athlon FX processors.
Athlon FX 51 = Athlon 64 3700+
Athlon FX 53 = Athlon 64 4000+
Athlon FX 55 = Discontinued
Athlno FX 57 = ~ 800ish
Athlon FX 60 = ~ 1000ish
There isn't that much difference between the FX and normal editions on the AMD side as opposed to Intel making their EE alot different then their Single Core counter parts for the most part.
Intel used Galatins on their EE's, had HyperThreading on their Dual Core EE, and typcially used a higher FSB to differentiate their EE.

The non-FX versions still have locked multipliers.
I wouldn't worry about a Conroe at 3.5GHz or so. Intel seems to be through playing the clock speed game.Originally posted by: FallenHero
if they release a conroe EE at like 3.5 or higher, I might pick one up

Conroe EE is almost a contradiction in terms. EE, as far as I know, is a NetBurst chip. Conroe will be based on Intel's upcoming microarchitecture.
Am not sure what Intel will do for their high end offerings when Conroe debuts. Maybe nothing. The main reason we have EE chips is that Intel needed something to compete with the competition's high-end chips, so they took a server chip and converted it to the desktop.

Conroe EE will use a 333mhz FSB and run at 3 or 3.3G, EE is simply the best desktop chip that Intel puts out, it has absolutely nothing to do with netburst, it is simply a chip that uses a higher FSB, clockspeed, or enabled HT to differnetiate itself from the other offerings. In the case of the Conroe EE it will ahve a higher FSB and clockspeed, and that is all.

Anyways, it doesn't really matter about any of that, Intel said its 3 or 3.3G on the EEs, and I think that maybe they are better informed than you are.

if Conroe EE can overclock to 5G on phase it will mean that Intels process is by far the best in the world, since this is likely not the case I consider it extremely unlikely that 5G will be obtained under phase on the current process.
