Intel's Core 2 Extreme QX6700 follows Intel's new naming scheme to the letter. The Q signifies that the CPU has four processing cores, and the X, of course, makes it "extreme." ...

Intel today is announcing their 1333FSB Core 2 line-up, which consists of three dual-cores, including the E6750 we previewed a few weeks ago, and also the 3.0GHz quad-core that we are testing out ...

The desktop quad-core chip will remain under the Core 2 Extreme branding until Q1 2007, when Intel will rebrand it as Core 2 Quad and introduce a range of processors from budget to high end.

Other than its higher frequency though, the Core 2 Extreme QX6800 doesn't differ from Intel's previous high-end quad-core processor, the 2.66GHz Core 2 Extreme QX6700, in any way.

The Q6600 is a 2.4GHz chip, like its little brother the E6600. Both CPUs are nearly identical and use the same die (s), except that the Q6600 has two of them. Essentially, everything is doubled. Twice ...

There isn't a shortage of options for those on the market for a 45nm Intel quad-core CPU. From the 3.2GHz Extreme Edition QX9770 to the 2.33GHz Q8200, Intel has the entire price spectrum covered.

While we only received a single QX6850 (which is a Quad Core 1333MHz FSB offering with a speed of 3GHz), we also have a Core 2 Quad QX6700 which we clocked up to QX6800 speeds (2.93GHz) on the ...

To keep the QX6700 within the same thermal profile as the Core 2 Extreme X6800, Intel reduced the clock speed of the QX6700. The X6800 runs at 2.93GHz, while the QX6700 and the E6700 run at 2.66GHz.

According to this plan Intel will be reducing the Q6600 price later this year to $530 (in the coming 3-4 months), when it will probably give more life to it as a more affordable quad-core solution.

The 45nm LGA775 chips - Intel's Core 2 Quad Q9550s, Q9400s and Q8200s - are the manufacturer's first quad-core desktop parts to feature a TDP of just 65W.

However, the Core 2 Quad Q6600 is not scheduled for release until early next year, and so today we will be looking at the more powerful Core 2 Extreme QX6700 version, which Intel had promised to ...

Since the Intel Developer Forum revelations, the Core 2 Extreme QX6700. which is the top-end part, has gained a name and the range has already expanded.
