C2D E6750 Review and Overclocking: 3.8GHz on Air Review

Neoseeker has published an article on the Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 including power consumption measurements and serious overclocking. This chip runs at the same 2.66Ghz stock speed as the E6700, except on a 1333MHz FSB, which makes it perfect for the newer P35 based boards. We took this chip and ran it through its paces, including overclocking it to a stable 3.8GHz speed on air.

"In our previous Core 2 Duo reviews (E4300, QX6700, E6600, E6300/E6400, E6700)it was very apparent that the 1066MHz (266MHz x 4) FSB was limiting the performance of the processors as it was limiting the memory and I/O bandwidth of the processor to less than 8.5GB/sec throughput. So with the new 1333MHz (333MHz x 4) FSB raising the potential bandwidth to 10.66GB/sec we expect to see the same kind of performance gain we observed earlier when we overclocked the FSB on past 1066MHz FSB chipsets and processors – the 25% increase in bandwidth was quite noticeable. As our past DDR3 reviews/comparisons have shown us that at this time high speed DDR2 still performs better than DDR3-1333MHz modules. We decided to go with our old favorite, the Corsair XMS2-TWIN2X2048 PC-8888 (4-4-4-12/2T) and the OCZ PC2-9200 (4-4-4-12/2T) modules in order to make certian we got the best possible memory performance for the processor."
