LostCircuits posted a review on Intel's Core 2 Quad Extreme Edition QX6700 processor

Today Intel is releasing its latest Extreme Edition CPU, model number QX6700, that signifies the first step into a new era of computing by bringing four processor cores in a single die to the affordable desktop computing market segment. Needless to say that the "affordable" part is to be taken with a certain grain of salt, a msrp of US$ 999.- is just above that - but maybe not. Intelligent Die Pairing, Smart Memory Access and Fast Memory Access, Cache Sharing and Selective Clock Gating are part of the new lingo that every geek better might absorb today rather than tomorrow. But geeks are geeks and mere mortals are interested more in what is behind the buzz words, namely how well the Kentsfield really performs.

From isolated power measurements to cache access and from Dr. DivX to Mainconcept, not to mention all kinds of 3D Rendering programs and games, we have a plethora of benchmarks to compare the new Intel flagship with mother's finest from both Intel and AMD
