Figures
provisional A figure marked provisional is recorded but not accepted: its evidence is unsettled. It may rely on one source, an unconfirmed announcement, or a digit read from a damaged scan. The reason appears under the figure. The catalog shows the figure but never uses it in a multiplier. How records are judged.
| Metric | Value | Evidence | Basis | Method | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clock frequency cpu provisional | 2.4 GHz | Rumored | Vendor-rated | Nominal clock From community documentation Intel's own datasheet for this part is not in the catalog. Wikipedia gives 2.4 GHz for this model, and the catalog carries it as rumored. | |
| Dhrystone MIPS per MHz cpu provisional | 3.5 DMIPS/MHz | Reported | Measured | Benchmark run Published independently dhrystone 2.1 A named Dhrystone 2.1 result normalized by the clock stated for that run. It remains provisional pending a second independent source. | |
| Thermal design power cpu provisional | 65 W | Rumored | Vendor-rated | Rated power From community documentation Intel's own datasheet for this part is not in the catalog. Wikipedia states 65 W for the family this model belongs to rather than for the model alone, so it is carried as rumored. |

| Clock frequency cpu provisional | not applicable The E6600 predates Intel Turbo Boost. | Not stated | Vendor-rated | Peak clock Stated by the vendor This figure remains provisional until the cited source is corroborated for the exact configuration. | |
| Peak FP32 rate cpu provisional | unknown The processor supports scalar and SIMD floating point, but the cited specification does not state an FP32 peak in FLOP/s. | Not stated | Vendor-rated | Theoretical peak Stated by the vendor This figure remains provisional until the cited source is corroborated for the exact configuration. |
