Experience performance second to none on highly-threaded apps² and get in the game like it was meant to be played with the Intel® Core™2 Extreme quad-core processor QX6700—the world's first quad-core desktop processor.
It's a quad core processor... but is there any real use..? It might increase productivity with Video Editing/creative industry... but they are all on macpros/windows based on the 64-bit Dual-Core Intel Xeon “Woodcrest”...
So we have this, designed for gamers... But similar to theAgeia's PhysX Cards, are these really a bit of a gimmick, as there are no games out there which se the technology to the full potential, and rather like the Bugatti car, is it just done to show what is possible...? Unreal Tornament 2007 may use some PhysX Technology I think, but what games upocoming or currently would perform better on this Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor? What is its real use... and is it economically viable at almost £800?! More than your average gaming PC!
In a server environment Quad cores are a godsend, but given the lack of applications programmed for 4 cores I see no need for that amount of juice. It's nice to have the bragging rights though.
Maybe Quad cores were made by feminists, after all men are apparently very bad at multi tasking, this could be their effort to help us. Perhaps the real test of how much better multiple cores are would be to benchmark a woman using a PC with a P4, and a man using the QX6700 the results could be interesting.
