May not work in some current Intel 965 chipset-based motherboards The Final Word Its bound to be expensive
But users who are out to build the fastest rig on the block will appreciate the extra speed
Offers slightly faster performance for significantly less money than Intels previous quad-core CPU.
Forthcoming next-generation parts from AMD and Intel itself may surpass this still-expensive high-end CPU in six months or less.
The quad-core Core 2 Extreme QX6850 keeps the desktop CPU performance belt tied firmly around Intels waist at a price that helps offset the lack of sizable performance gains. New products at the end of the year may outclass this new chip when they arr...
Bumping up quad-core to the new 1333MHz FSB in the Core 2 Extreme QX6850 seems to boost performance, even with DDR2 memory; the price, though high, now seems rational....
Intels new Core 2 Extreme QX6850 offered performance gains on the order of about 2 to sometimes as much as 13%, depending on the application and CPU / chipset combination. Applications and tests that made heavier use of multi-threading, like our So...
