What can you guys tell me about this chip? SLAX? as in SLACR X? :D

I'm anxiously awaiting my DFI LP LT x48 T2R. Comes in on wednesday :(

Not listed in the Intel database at all. Neither a SLAX2 sSpec nor a BX80569X3350 product code.

So you either have yourself a bogie, or you got yourself the new stepping.

What does CPU-z say the stepping is? I've been waiting for someone to get one of them, what's the VID?

sorry, man. No mobo yet. I'm on my spare -- an Opty 170

Slight addendum...it means he has a Q9450 xeon equivalent AND the next soon-to-be-announced C1 stepping which should bring lower VID's, lower power consumption, and higher overclock margin at any given Vcore relative to the current C0 stepping 45nm quads.

No idea if this will be the same magnitude of improvements that B3->G0 was for Q6600...but it is expected to function better with higher FSB speeds...

I don't want to nit pick, but thats all FUD.

First of all, all Q9xxx and Xeon X33xx are C1 stepping. His cpu is nothing special, there are no C0 stepping of these chips. That's exactly why intel has been waiting so long to release them.

Second of all, C1 stepping doesn't show any of those improvement that you mention over C0, the only fix is a bug that can cause errata at high FSB.

Lower VID, lower TDP, higher overclock margin at same voltage, thats all bullshit, I don't know where you got that from. Care to back it up with a link?

There are C1 chips already circulating, people have tested them on XS, and they seem to be worse volts/volts than C0. Probably because people are comparing the C1 quads to the C0 QX quads, and drawing the conclusion that that C1 is a bit worse volts/volts, when that is obviously not a fair comparison (one chip is mainstream, the other is super binned and expensive). And as far as FSB clocking, the go just as far as C0, 460-470 max.

Lets not spread BS now, shall we.

Sounds like you got it all figured out then JAG.

why not lighten up a bit, man:) i know you're just reporting the facts, but you don't need to sound so angry doing it..

here's something for you to get at chapters and read over the long weekend..i think it would be good for you:

I sound angry? What gives that idea? I think I am just writing in English without any tone associated.

Do I have to start putting 500 smiling emoticons in every one of my posts to deviate people from thinking I am angry?

I dunno.. help me out.

:) :) :) :)

is that better?

QX says SLAN3

Im sure JAG's says the same thing.


Ummm can you read me that last set of numbers you have there on the bottom written on that black thing?

Gah... here incase you dont know what im asking for:
http://forums.anandtech.com/me...=2169085&enterthread=y

Im trying to figure out of this works, but i need more imput. :p

BTW i love B's! Ive had the best luck with B's. Well minus this A.

thanks..

Now all you need to tell me how well she does, so i can compare with my other chip thats near yours.

My G0 is 617

One of my Q6600, is 443 <--- an OK overclocker

Waiting to see my X3220 pretty soon.
