Performance enthusiasts rejoice! Intel has today advanced its enthusiast-level quad-core processor family with the introduction of the Intel® CoreE2 Extreme processor QX6800.
| QX6800 is produced on Intel’s industry-leading 65 nanometer process, key to enabling the large 8 megabyte cache. A 1066 MHz system bus is supported and the processor is available now at a cost of $1,199.
Running at 2.93 GHz—the fastest clock speed yet reached with the Intel® CoreE microarchitecture for the quad-core desktop–this addition to Intel’s innovative processor family sets new standards for desktop PC performance. Some of the most exciting titles of the year such as Crytek’s Crysis*, Gas Powered GamesESupreme Commander*, and Flagship’s Hellgate London* have undergone substantial joint engineering efforts with Intel to use more than two processing threads to their advantage. |
