@ 2009/08/10A bit different from previous blue tradition, E6500K is packed by a small blue and black box. You know, Intel’s Extreme Edition processors are all wrapped by all-black boxes.
The package bears the word “Limited Edition” on the top, and “unlocked” at the bottom right hand corner. (The characters are typed in Chinese.) We guess “Limited Edition” means it’s available in China only, which has been officially confirmed by Intel. Daniel Snyder, Intel’s spokesman, told Xbitlabs that “This is a PRC-only pilot for now. At the end of the pilot, Intel will determine what, if any other similar product should be offered in other geographies.”
E6500K targets mid-range and low-end segment, so we use the corresponding hardware for test: Biostar P45E Combo motherboard, Samsung DDR2-800 memory, and GlacialTech GT5610+ CPU cooler. We set the CPU voltage at 1.76V, and managed to overclock it to 4539MHz. With the aid of Setfsb utility, the clock achieved 4607MHz (17*270MHz).
