T9900

I just found a T9900 on ebay for 500 dollars. I am not really interested because I only want P types but maybe some of you are. The guy selling it is from US (correction). HEre are the specs:

Brand New Just Released Intel Core 2 Duo T9900 SLGEE Processor

Clockspeed: 3066MHz
L2 Cache: 6MB
Front Side Bus: 1066 MHz
Multi: 11.5x
TDP: 35W
Socket: P
45nm

 

I'd get the X9100 for that price.

 

Why not the X9100 for $343.88? faster and cheaper.

 

Tell that to guy selling, but I just wanted to show that the T9900 is out or almost out.

 

@Nirvana,
Where did you get the pricing (343.88) for the X9100?

 

There's quite a few on eBay for that price, all from one seller.

1| 2| 3

 

waste of money imo. get the x9100 instead

 

Probably B1 stepping too.

Some P8800s will probably pop up soon.

 

Can someone just 'quash the notion that they'll be a P9700. There's been rumour since the T9900 and P8800 came about amount but nothing to substantially prove it even exsits yet.

I mainly say this because I don't want to buy a P9600 with a better 'P' rank chip on the way in.

and

Unless you're really fussy about that extra 9 TDP increase.

 

I wanna get the P9700 as well but as long as I can get a good deal on a P9600 or 9500 I will get one of these until then.

 

Where has this P9700 speculation come from?

 

I think its coming from the apparent redundancy of previously released chips from Intel for new lines a month or two after they go into circulation.

 

X9100 may be cheaper at the moment, but:

X9100 = 44watts

T9900 = 35watts

Looks like the T9900 is cooler running. God Bless

 

Just type it in or look around. As I said this is pure speculation with no proof to back it up. Jus' asking if anyone can say otherwise.

Thinking about it - with a new P8** series and T9** series coming out soon it makes you wonder why a new step-up in the P9** series hasn't been developed.

 

Okay, I was digging around in some of Intel's data sheets, and I found this:



Thing is, the P9700 and P8800 have been in the plans since the original document was drafted (July 2008), but Intel hasn't (yet?) gone forward with production. T9800, T9550, P9600, and P8700 were just added in January of this year. No sign of the T9900. I was told about five months ago, by an engineer, that the T9900 was a test case and probably wouldn't see mass production, but now it looks like it just might.

 

Perhaps they are in the pipeline but they've been a bit too eager in the announcements and they haven't quite got things pinned down yet.

 

t9900 is coming from what im told. the p9700 is still "may or may not be coming out of testing" from my source he said most likely you will be waiting a while for it "if" it even does come out

that is a s spec oem chip but 500$ is crazy for the difference over the t9800. the t9900 is a overclocked t9800 from what the intel tech i spoke with said. so it will run hotter also. the t9800 ROCKS for temps mine in the msi idle at only about 30-32 and max at 100% at around 65-67..

 

Mine idles at 32, but will get way into the 70s if I max it. I probably did a horrible job with the AS5, but I'm too lazy to go in and redo it so I just undervolted it instead.

 

Is it possible to run the T9800 at higher clocks? (i.e. overclock)

Duane

 

well in my msi i run it at about 3.5 and its fine and stable

 

That's when pressing that MSI Turbo button right? That OCs the system by 15%. I always wondered what does it exactly OC? The FSB ?

 

Yes, the msi oc via FSB.

 

Does that eventually screw up your laptop ?

 

no people oc their desktops all the time the same way
