By simply browsing the specs, you can see why many enthusiasts love the E6850, It features a TDP of 65W (exactly half the QX6850 TDP), a Thermal Spec of 72C, well above INTEL's other offerings (most sit around 62C), and a 3GHz default clock speed (along with a 1333FSB). For those more interested in clock speed than cores, the E6850 should be the processor of choice.
