Can these speeds be achieved on the stock HS?

No but i guess 3.6Ghz with an E8400 on stock HSF is possible.

Well the review does not tell much about it... great if even 3.6 can be reached @ stock :)

well thats because they are comparing CPUs @ same clock speeds only just to determine the difference that newwer fabrication process has brought...
Also it would be unfair to compare a 2.4 GHz Quad Phenom with those 3 GHz warriors

hey guys but this is 2 core isnt it? and 6600 is quad core? but the price is very tempting and the fact that it can be overclocked

any ideas abt wen its reaching indian shores

AMD is out of game *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/110.gif

E8400 is really cooooolll!!!

at TweakTown they OCed it to 4.05GHz with stock cooling kit!!

20w less power consumption than E6750,it also runs about 8 degrees Celsius cooler at idle and 11 degrees cooler under load.

When the E series processors are launched the existing prices C2D line (which has a better performance than AMD) will slip to the same level as amd or even lower . I am waiting for that day :)

this is not good for amd.....amd should come up with challenging products too . .. otherwise , we'll eventually become the end loosers.
