Major leap in performance on multitasking and most multithreaded applications compared to high-end dual-core CPUs
Lots of apparent headroom for overclocking an already fast chip
The editors didn't like
High price tag makes quad-core processing an elite technology for now
Apples twin dual-core Xeons in the Mac Pro make for a faster digital design configuration
Abstract: To say this year has been a bit of a whirl-wind adventure would be an immense understatement. Weve seen Intel move from a back-seat position versus the Athlon 64 X2with their Pentium D architecture, to commanding virtually all of the lime-light as of late...
Intel has unleased quad-core processors into the world and the Intel Core 2 Extreme Processor QX6700 is without a doubt the fastest desktop processor when it comes to applications that support four or more cores. In short the QX6700 is Quad-Zilla! I...
Summing up I have to state that it will be very hard to draw a final line today. The thing is that Kentsfield processors have evidently got far ahead of their time. There are not that many applications yet that could use the potential of all four cores...
After a few weeks of testing and retesting I can say that the QX6700 not only runs a bit cooler than its previous siblings and that it was entirely stable. We never even shut the thing down other than to reinstall Windows for the entire two weeks we te...
Abstract: Up until a few years ago, clock speed was the number one barometer used by many to judge a CPU’s performance. It was a pretty simple formula: higher CPU clock speeds means better performance. With their Netburst Pentium 4 architecture, Intel in part...
Abstract: Under most circumstances it?d be quite appropriate to start off this review with statements on how Quad-Core CPUs really don?t matter to the mainstream at this time etc. etc. But under the guise of an Intel-driven multi-core marketplace, it?d be comple...
Abstract: Earlier this year, Intel unleashed their Conroe line of processors aimed towards the desktop PC market. After lagging behind AMD for quite some time, Conroe gave Intel the chance to pull ahead in terms of performance and cost. In the end, Conroe is a ...
Well those that doubted the virtues of dual-core technology will most likely keep to themselves now, after seeing what not only the Conroe can do but also the new Kentsfield, the evidence is overwhelming. Of course applications, namely games that do no...
The numbers we got here are impressive as we can see as much as 81% performance boosts in the POV-Ray benchmark by moving from a dual core processor to a quad core processor at a lower frequency. Since these systems were provided by Intel and we didn...
