Maybe it will have a 266MHz FSB. Most of the other step-down chips have lower FSB. *edit Nevermind it has a 333MHz FSB. The only bad thing about the Q8000 is the neutered cache. I could live with it with a nice and cheap chip like the e2000, e4000, e7000 but a quad just isn't going to be cheap. Below 2MB/core the performance impact is noticable across a wide range of apps.

True, but usually when they neuter the cache they pump up the multiplier. More clockspeed and easier overclockability = win. If there's a somewhat cheap Q8xxx with a 9x multi and 4MB cache, that's better than a Q9300 with a horrible multi and a lot of cache imo.
 
The q8200 looks like it will have a 7x multi...the worst of both worlds. Probably not going to be popular at all among oc'ers.
