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.
