Abstract: Rarely have things looked as good for Intel as they do right now. Exactly 18 months after their introduction, Intel is updating its highly successful Core 2 CPUs. The chipmaker is shrinking the structures from 65 nm to 45 nm and is already preparing t...
For Gamers : Core 2 Extreme QX9650 performs quite decent in the slew of new games and will especially help when they require more physics calculations during game play. However, if you are already having a QX6850 or E6850, then it is unwise to dump the...
Top Desktop Performer, Excellent Power Usage Numbers, Media Creation Powerhouse
Expensive, 3.0 GHz Clock Speed
We came away from this review with a decidedly positive outlook of Intels 45nm world. The Core 2 Extreme QX9650 is the fastest desktop processor yet, but it sports a lower power and thermal envelope than its 65nm quad core siblings. Other than its hi...
While the bigger cache and SSE4 do not help any application, it is a huge step forward for Intel. Now you can use a quad-core and not have to worry about your electricity bill. If the cores are idle, they stay idle, and consume much less power than any...
Although it seems like 45nm has been a long time coming, in reality, it hasnt even been that long since 65nm made its own debut. If one thing is certain, this industry doesnt slow down for anything, even technical hurdles such as the one the High-k ...
Larger L2 cache. Good overclocking potential. SSE4 instructions and architectural improvements.
Performance gains limited over current generation CPUs in current apps. Expensive.
The QX9650 is the first of Intels 45nm CPUs and wont really see its full potential until more SSE4-enabled applications arrive on the scene. Still, it offers excellent performance, albeit at a steep price....
Abstract: While we mere humans have to conform to our natural biological clocks, microprocessor giant Intel - the Chipzilla - follows Silicon Cadence (also known as tick-tock), a strategic time line designed to introduce new microprocessor technology and manufac...
Il reste un aspect de ce Penryn que je n’ai pas pu tester faute de moyen: sa consomation. Intel nous annonce qu’à fréquence équivalente le Penryn consomme 60W de moins en charge que son prédesceceur. Il s’agit certes d’une donnée m...
Alors que l’AMD Phenom ne devrait pas être lancé avant une quinzaine de jours, Intel est le premier à dégainer avec un processeur quad core offrant des performances de premier ordre, puisqu’en amélioration de 2 à 8% par rapport aux actuels Cor...
Les performances des nouveaux cœurs Penryn sont excellentes, mais comme nous vous le disions en introduction, cela n’a qu’une importance toute relative. Certes ce QX9650 peut être jusquà 10% plus rapide que l’ancien haut de gamme d...
