Based on the new Nehalem technology, Intels new processor lineup will range from 2 cores to 8. They will also have a triple channel DDR3 memory controller with up to 1333 MHz clock speed.

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650

Saturday, December 22nd, 2007

***HBP CHOICE***
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650
Intels new Core 2 Extreme QX9650 is a monster. And you will need a monster pile of cash to acquire one too with a price range of $1,000-$1,200. Four cores running at 3.0GHz though is unbelievable and a Front Side Bus of 1,333 MHz. For newer games out like Crysis, this is the processor you will need in order to eat these games alive. You will need to ensure you have a Socket 775 motherboard to use this CPU though. I wouldn’t want you to spend all that money and not be able to use it. One good option is the ASUS Striker Extreme LGA 775.
