If you thought dual cores were over the top, get ready. Intel presents the Core 2 Extreme QX6700, a single CPU with four distinct processing cores. At $999, the first quad-core CPU will remain an enthusiast part for a while, but as a glimpse of the fut...
Abstract: A quad-core processor of Core 2 eXtreme series marked QX6700 actually features two Core 2 Duo E6700 dies assembled in a single body. Remember that please: two dies, not one. We couldnt bring ourselves to break the processor, but its cache organization...

High power requirements; no improvement in many programs as yet; expensive
A future-proofed CPU thats fast in all situations and record breaking in others, but youll find many applications will need an update to take full advantage of its power ...
Like any solution with four CPU cores, the Core 2 Extreme QX6700s effectiveness depends on what you feed it. Give it a nicely parallelizable task with four or more threads, and it will utterly embarrass former top dogs like the Core 2 Extreme X6800 an...
Reviewing the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 has been a hugely interesting experience. Before installing the CPU the consensus from everyone in the team was that there would be some excellent gains to be had from using this CPU compared to both AMD an...
