Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Best deal to date on a quad core extreme Comment: Typically I am a steady purchaser of the newest and fastest CPU's, graphics cards, and other performance related items the minute they are released. I am still that way with graphics cards and will be purchasing two ATI Radeon 4870 X2'a as soon as they hit the market. I have gone through three motherboards, three CPU's, at least three graphics cards, a number of cooling solutions, although I am sticking with thermoelectrically chilled water for now. However, those were times when Intel released CPU's based on a breakthrough technology combined with a substantial increase in speed, such as the Core 2 Duo ending the 10 year life span or longer of the Pentium 4. While various P4's were released over that time span, you can fit them all on one page which is not a lot over 10 years. Now, however, Intel has become the CPU of the month club. They release new QX cpu's simply to add an instruction set or some other relatively minor change which has little impact on technology or speed. While the newer QX's might use a little less power and run a bit cooler, is that really a major issue? Also, if you benchmark the two QX's above the QX6850, any speed differences are minor, as has been shown by PC World and other publications, and would not likely be noticable outside of a benchmark program. Until I see a major breakthrough I am not purchasing another CPU as this is plenty fast, as long as I keep my graphics up. Hopefully AMD will win the next round and will not become as much of a sell out. Customer Rating: Summary: Great quad Comment: One of the fastest today (Q1 08). Runs hot though - you might want to upgrade from aircooling to TEC's or WC if overclocking. Very easy to o/c.
