Core 2 Extreme QX6800 launched by Intel
Intel today launched its very powerful quad core QX6800. The new Core 2 Extreme QX6800 clocks in at 2.93 GHz.
The QX6800 features 8MB of total L2 cache and an unlocked upper multiplier for overclocking goodness.
And an addition to it, the new QX6800 shares the 65nm Kentsfieldcore. Intel expects to introduce 45nm Penryn-based processors in the second half of 2007 which will reduce the power consumption as well. The QX6800 is Intel’s 4th consumer quad-core processor, whereas AMD hasnt launched its Barcelona yet.
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6800 has a heavy price tag of $1199,
But not to worry as there wll be price cuts in Q3’07 which will drop the QX6800 down to $999. So start saving cash in case you want this monster.
