Multiplier of only 7x...does not bode well for OC'ing.

Yah, wouldn't touch that with a ten-foot. Get those Q6600s while you can!

Exactly - if only they did a die shrink to 45nm

think they call it a q9650

Heh I thought you were going to say Deneb

Refresh my memory. Does 65nm C2D include VT too, or is there an improved VT in the 45nm chips?

I can't see anyone buying the Q8200 over the Q6600, really.

I think that the 6000 series supports hardware VT and the 2000 and 4000 series do not. Don't quote me on this, though.

can't find any reviews by reputable sites anywhere for this chip. Guess this one generated little interests considering its specs.

If by little interest you mean little ad revenue then that is probably the case. Remember none of these review sites operate as non-profit entities...so when something doesn't happen then you can be reasonably assured its because the $$$ wasn't there or it wasn't expected to materialize afterwards in acceptable volumes.

I ordered one eleven days ago from Dell. If they ever get around to shiping it to me Ill let you guys know what I think. Im not ocing and I got a killer deal on it. The system was $40 more than with a E7200! Its worth it for two extra cors that run at just under the same speed.

TDP is just a spec for OEMs to ensure adequate cooling for a given class of processors. It doesn't correlate to actual power consumption.

The QX9650 actually uses ~65W under load, yet is rated at 130W TDP (because its 'designed' to be overclocked). Anandtech has proved that it'll only hit 130W between 3.8 - 4.0GHz.

I actually wouldn't be surprised to see the Q8200 use 50W or less under load.

correct, TDP means"'thermal dissipate power", and is an indication of the recommended minimum headsink size, not actual power consumption.

Too many reference it here as if it is the actual power consumption.
