Intel to kill off QX9650?

[VirtualLarry]

link

No comment about the Q9650, hopefully Intel is NOT killing that model off, as I would like to purchase one or two in the coming months.

 

[dguy6789]

Sounds to me like they are only killing off the Core 2 Extremes, not the regular quads.

 

[Idontcare]

Gotta do something to ensure the herd migrates to LGA1366.

 

[exar333]

I don't think the QX9650 has a lot of demand right now anyway; for anyone with a good C2D setup, there is no better upgrade right now than a Q9650 for the price it is at if you want strictly performance.

 

[AstroManLuca]

What, you mean there isn't much demand for a CPU that costs over $1,000 and is virtually identical to one costing $330?

I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to pay that much extra for an unlocked multiplier, unless they're specifically trying for the highest possible overclock I guess.

 

[error8]

So Q9550 still lives on? That should have been my upgrade in the coming months.

well i would go for the q9650 rather than the qx9650
so intel go ahead i give u permission

LOL!

+1 all the way!

However i would get a X3380 over a Q9650 any day of the week.

well i dont know about you
but i never heard anyone overclock a server(i heard they do, but i never saw one)
and i think it lies in a totally different class i mean i guess we are talking about desktops naa
so a server uhh dunno

i prefer desktops

X3380 is the socket 775 chip, that is really a Q9650, but called Xeon...

I could be wrong...But I have an X3350 which is a Q9450, and works just fine

I thought the X3370 (~$350) was the Xeon equivalent of the Q9650 and the X3380 would be the equivalent of the none-extreme Q9770 (if it existed).

Has the X3380 been released yet? I can't find anywhere on google that is selling it.

iam really curious to know i mean
how do they overclock
i mean are they good what about the heat

how big are the two socket boards ?
and how costly are they?

and is there any i7 variant for server boards ....
i have been really of these thing sfor about 7 months now

damn iam to lazy to google these answers
may be cause i dont find enough time

X3380 is the Q9650's BIG sister.

Features a 9.5x multi and does 4.4ghz on AIR @ 1.4vcore.

Lemme see if i can find screenies from my friend who was sampling it.

I dont get LGA775 samples anymore, i moved on to bigger and better things. :T


Ready for a OMGWTFBBQ?

Its the same heat or less than its counterpart. They are socket 775, and I don't even think they make 2 socket boards for socket 775. Newegg sure doesn;t have any. Cost is the same. I don't see any dual 1366 socket boards either.

correct mark.

the only dual socket boards are LGA771.

Its the same identical chips, only different sockets.

Mark dual socket gainestown boards, 2xqpi, wont work for i7 cpu's come out March 30.

So NDA is still in effect.

You can see my WCG team desperate hunting down a Gainestown board for me tho in this thread. LOL...

What did i learn from the i7 platform? How to sit on a cpu without a board for MANY MANY MONTHS.

is how long ive sat on an i7. :T

@ one point in time i lost my head and started sticking them on everything possible:

Yes i was seriously bored that day.

WT FF!!
u mean u did a 4.4 wid 1.4v !!
damn need to dump my duo
i hardly managed to do a 4.0 wid 1.4v
damn the world really went through a revolution

which is why u dont see me in PHII threads anymore.

im sorry they uber lost... and im talking about having there butt served on a platinum platter.

 

[polarbear6]

k so what sort of boards do we need to buy for a server chip i mean do our ordinary boards work like a p35 chipset boards (i never read anything about servers in my whole life)

I hear ya man, obtaining the ES chips isn't hard at all these days, but it's getting the motherboards that can be a pain So you know Movieman pretty well?

u need to see what socket the cpu is.

Xeons will come in 2 sockets, LGA771 and LGA775.

The LGA771 is the real enterprise stuff, only way you can overclock these guys is on a pin mod, or on a Skulltrail type board. W7Z or D5400X.

The LGA775 Xeons will work in EVERY LGA775 board that takes core2quad. The X3380 is the last gen LGA775 yorkfield E0 chip that will probably come out b4 the i5 and i7's finally replace them.

yup even down the infamous phone call.

BTW the X3380 is dave's sample, (movieman) he just gave me persmission to show it off.
