If you thought dual-core processors were cutting edge, youre already behind the times. Quad core is here, in the form of the Extreme QX6700. The processor itself isnt a "native" quad-core part. By this, we mean the four execution cores dont exist...

Needless to say, the gigahertz war between AMD and Intel is history. Comparing clock speeds does not do justice to CPU performance today - unless youre comparing processors within a product family. For the time being, performance is tied to the numb...

quad core CPU also known as Kentsfield or The Quad Father: Intel is on a roll after the launch of Core 2 Duo E6700 in July 2006 and here we are, a mere four months later, with the launch of the quad core Core 2 Extreme QX6700...

The QX6700 is based on the same 65nm manufacturing process as the other Core 2 processors. It incorporates a total of 8MB of L2 cache, as 4MB per pair of cores. Therein lies a problem: the two caches arent interconnected. So each pair of cores share...
The Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 offers a glimpse of what the future holds, but for now there are few apps crying out for a quad-core processor. Windows Vista may bring better support for multi-threading, ensuring each thread has the same access to CPU...

Intels Core 2 range of processors impressed us. The E6700 won our Best Component award in Shopper December 2006. Never a company to rest on its laurels, Intel has released the Core 2 Extreme QX6700 processor, which has four processor cores. From th...

The QX6700 is scheduled to replace the X6800 as Intels flagship desktop CPU. As the X6800 should disappear pretty quickly, its pretty pointless comparing the two. While the QX6700s four cores mean that its much faster than any other chip in multith...

Performance per watt has taken a backward step, but it?s very fast with the right apps.

Are we here already? It was just on four months ago that we looked at Core 2 Duo, and we were blown away. Now suddenly we already have two more cores for the taking.Sure, it’s just two Duos whacked on the one silicon slab, thus not using a shared ca...

Intel has never had such a cash cow as the Core architecture. When Intel released the Pentium brand name, Intel made a name for itself as the high point for computer processors. It wasn’t till AMD’s Athlon family hit the shelves and made us lo...
Dual and Multiple cores are certainly the way to go. Speeds have hit a wall, going for a Gigahertz advantage simply isn’t enough, Intel found that out with the Pentium 4, a pure GHz speed king.Intel has been the first to market with its Dual Core pr...

Its barely been a year since the launch of first dual core CPUs and today we already have a Quad Core CPU from Intel with talks about an incredible 80 core CPU in the not so distant future. This probably means that the “MHz” race is dead and M...
The QX6700 performs pretty much as you’d expect it to- if slower than the X6800 in single and dual threaded applications but a lot faster in multi-threaded applications. Games are still in dire need of taking advantage of multi-threading however, as...

Intel’s quad-core processor, codenamed Kentsfield, has been one of its least well kept secrets. In fact, benchmarks have been leaking out for months. Illicit samples obtained on the black market were the first to appear, then Intel itself gave more...
Although quad-core clearly has a little way to go before the majority of applications take better advantage of it, as indeed does dual-core, there are plenty of benefits to be had already from Intel’s Core 2 Extreme QX6700. If you like to run multip...

Weve shown you pictures and given you the release date, but just how fast is Intels Kentsfield processor? Weve had the chance to take the quad core chip for a spin through a few apps, pitting it against the current top dawg, the Core 2 Extreme X680...
Well let the results do most of the talking here. It took the quad core Kentsfield processor 3/4 the time it took the dual core X6800 to encode an HD video file. In Sony Vegas the test script ran on the QX6700 in two thirds the time it took on the X6...
