Thread: Core 2 uttermost QX6700 Quad-Core Kentsfield functioning.

Though we're campaigning the risk of vocalizing a bit platitudinal, this is decidedly the IDF instant we're sure lot of you accept been waiting for. We've described to you on Intel's several engineering proclamations and architectural first step over the past few days. And, from what we could garner from our sessions with Intel at this fall's IDF, the company surely has a lot of bleeding-edge engineering on tap that by all rights should dramatically involve the calculating industry landscape for years to arrive.

We've heard from some sides of the fence, almost all year long, that the age of the multi-core CPU is on us and multi-threaded apps are the wave of the next. The gains of SMP (symmetric multi-working) have been know for lots years now but until just lately accept desktop apps and use patterns been able to accept reward of multi-thread able organizations. The coming of the double-core X86 desktop CPU has ushered in a whole novel era of calculating architectures, functioning levels, capabilities in software and of course it doesn't only final there.





But can we actuaally feat the useable throughput of a quad-core Intel Core 2 CPU? Will this novel high-end processor directed to woo the hearts of the calculating enthusiast, with its subtly-sexy "QX" posting, actuallu construct benificial on its sensed gains in the benchmarks and real-world use scenarios? Intel appropriated us approximately behind closed doors secret time benchmarking organizations grounded on their novel Kentsfield Core 2 Extreme QX6700 CPU.

The complying pages are proposed to offer you approximately insight into what a "controlled" benchmarking attempt with Kentsfield was capable to yield for us in several functioning metrics. Though Intel supplied us with all the test organization configured in the complying benchmarks, we're very convinced in the numbers, as we were at final year's IDF when we 1st saw Core 2 Duo in action.This time around, it's a quad-core attack.
