Abstract: Intel has managed to impress again. Their tick-tock model is working right on schedule. This time around we are left with a new architecture with the new Quickpath Interconnect that does away with the old and dated Front Side Bus technology. The int...
Despite Intel currently having "one up" on AMD, they certainly haven't been resting on their laurels. Rather than just simply taking the QX6850, slapping an extra 4mb cache on top and calling it a new processor, Intel has given the chip a complete overha...
Fastest quadcore desktop processor on the planet at time of publication!, 50% larger L2 cache at the same TDP of 130W!, Higher CPU multipliers are unlocked!
Really expensive. Purchase automatically confirms your ULTRALICH status!
The Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 is not just a new Core 2 processor model. It actually represents a major shift in processor fabrication. Not only is it built using the smaller 45 nm lithographic process, it also uses Intels new hafnium-based high-k d...
Abstract: After months of hype and anticipation, INTEL and AMD have unleashed their next generation processors on the market. While AMDs Phenom line has received luke warm reviews to this point, INTELs Penryn line has been the toast of the town. Why?
The Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 certainly is an impressive piece of technology and while it might not be a killer buy at $1200 US, it has shown us exactly what the move to the 45nm process has to offer. Apart from being able to reach 4GHz without havin...
Fortunately, they havent made a Prescott out of a Penryn. At the same core clock the new processor performed 8% faster than the old one (on average). Besides, some details indicate that has been achieved not only due to the extensive approach (e.g., ...
Abstract: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650, formerly known as Yorkfield, is the first 45-nm desktop CPU from Intel, being a quad-core CPU running internally at 3 GHz and externally at 1,333 MHz, the same clock specs of Core 2 Extreme QX6850. QX9650, however, brings t...
The new Penryn architecture has proven to be a worthy successor to the original Conroe as it offers better performance while significantly reducing operating temperatures and power consumption levels. This update is certainly going to help bolster the...
Abstract: In the expiring year 2007, Intel prepared quite a nice surprise to the users: launched a new series of CPUs manufactured following the 45-nm process technology. Any change of the process technology is just the right time to update the structure of the ...
So I will not deny or dispute that quad-core processors face the troublesome issue that multi-threading hardly is supported by consumer software. But much like the move from single- to dual cores processors, the move is worth your while in the end as ...
