What People Are Saying Give it to me straight
Socket Type
by PCMag (Jul, 2007)Today, we'll take a look at the new high-end Intel CPU, the Core 2 Extreme QX6850, which now logically fits into Intel's product line, unlike the earlier QX6800, which seemed to be an outlier in more ways than its lack of DDR3 support.
by PCMag (Jul, 2007)Ever since launching its Core 2 microprocessors in July, 2006, the Santa Clara company has maintained a steady pace, with new Core 2 introductions occurring every few months.
by Tech Radar (Aug, 2007)It's still the Kentsfield core, but an FSB raised to 1333MHz bumps the clock to 3GHz.
Multicore
by PCMag (Jul, 2007)Fastest desktop quad-core CPU you can buy today.
Temperature
by Tech Radar (Aug, 2007)The crazy nitrogen-cooling contingent have already taken this chip past 5GHz.
Applications
by PCMag (Jul, 2007)Some apps see little gain.
