Intel Quad Core Extreme QX6850 ReviewStrengths: VERY Fast Weakness: Hot & Loud Ok, so be careful not to bend any pins on your motherboard when installing, I did not bend any but I could see how easily it could be done especially with the trap door lid lever they used these days. The good news is this processor screams. The bad news is the included fan is louder than my home's furnace (even when I turn down the perfomance level) and the system is probably more efficient at...

Very Fast CPU!Strengths: Handles any task with ease. Weakness: Way to expansive! One of the better CPU I have come across of, easy to install. Overclocked to 3.3 with no problems with heat or performance. May not be for everone due to the price, but you get what you pay for.

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 Quad-Core ProcessorStrengths: Speed Weakness: cost Processor worked when received which is a huge plus. Nobody wants to RMA a new part which is broken. Bought this processor for gaming and photography. Big investment but worth it.

Super Fast, beats AMDStrengths: Fast, powerful, great for multi-tasking Weakness: price This processor is great, it is fast, it is great for multi-tasking due to the quad cores. It is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for and this takes the cake. This processor leaves AMD chips in the dust, they aren't able to compete right now with the Core 2 chips, and it may well lead to the end of their business.

Honestly.. No equalStrengths: Fastest current CPU and it shows. Weakness: None that I can think of. It runs cooler than I expected considering. Stock FAN&HS idles at 44c (using CoreTemp) at 3ghz. 3.33ghz jacks it only an extra few degrees. 47c (CoreTemp) most other temp appz show between 28c and 33c respectively. No doubt you can lower those temps considerably with a better FAN&HS combo or liquid cooling. . I wanted the fastest and least amount of hassle with my CPU choice. I made a point (with...

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850
THE GOOD: Offers slightly faster performance for significantly less money than Intels previous quad-core CPU. THE BAD: Forthcoming next-generation parts from AMD and Intel itself may surpass this still-expensive high-end CPU in six months or less. THE BOTTOM LINE: The quad-core Core 2 Extreme QX6850 keeps the desktop CPU performance belt tied firmly around Intels waist at a price that helps... Top

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 review
The new Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 processor we are testing today is the first Core 2 product to hit the magical 3.0GHz marker, and it is doing it not with two but rather four cores (dual 4MB L2 cache). Also new for the Core microarchitecture is a bumped up front side bus which has been taken to 333MHz QDR (Quad Data Rate – 1333MHz), whereas previous Core 2 processors all used a 1066MHz FSB. Top

Intel QX6850
Strengths: Very fast performance.
Weakness: Very expensive!!! Runs hot.
For cutting edge, this processor is the King for 2007. As part of Intel’s progressive march forward for ever faster performance, this processor takes off sprinting. Unfortunately, software manufacturers need to catch up in order to fully utilize the up-and-coming multi-core architecture of the future. They are working on it though. In the mean time, this processor does superior job with any...
