Intel E6500 2.93Ghz CPU Coming Next Week?
 

Intel will introduce a new Wolfdale-based dual-core sometime next week, and at $84, the new 45nm part sounds like a good deal. The E6500 runs at 2.93GHz, FSB1066, and it has 2MB of cache, while its TDP is a rated at a comfortable 65W. It's expected to launch on August 9 or 10, and it will coexist with the E6300 which now sells for around $70.

basically an X6800 with 2Mb L2 cache :)

Given the recent screenshots (unlocked E6500K) that observation is spot on :D

and you said I'm out of touch! :D
