| This doesn't seem like a very popular cpu. What's wrong? |

Probably because for the same price you can get a Q9550 or Q9450 with 12 meg L2 that will run circles around the q8200. Also its got a 7.5 multi, which makes overclocking it a bit more of a hassle than the other two mentioned. Altho it will o/c just as good as some of the other chips. And actually you could pick up a Q6600 for way less and o/c that above and beyond the performance of the 8200. Its just one of those middle of the road CPUs.

Actually, the price of a Q8200 is more in line with the Q6600. The Q9450 & Q9550 are in similar price points, which are around $120 higher than a Q6600/Q8200. But I appreciate the technical feedback. Q9550's are selling really well. |

I agree. The Q8200 is slated to replace the Q6600 as they share the same price point. Supply will eventually tighten in the next couple of months on a Q6600 as Intel moves away from this cpu.
I work in distribution and I handle the Intel line. Q6600 movement is still strong and people here wonder why the Q8200, in the same pricepoint, isn't selling as well. |

I've read the q8200 doesn't support Intel's Virtualization Technology or Intel's Trusted Execution Technology ( http://www.intel.com/technology/security/ ).
