Since the free of Intel’s Conroe micro-architecture, the company has been creating waves, massive waves. In conditioned of function, Intel washed away main competitor AMD, and they have continued to do so throughout the former 3 months with the success of their Core II Duo and Extreme processor series.


The only counter AMD has been capable to come up with so long is to fully slash costs for entire their existing processors, creating them extremely tempting as well. Nevertheless, the function of the Core 2 Duo processor rate is so compelling, that still die-difficult AMD fans have been assuming notice.


The Conroe, or as it is excellent familiar, the Core 2 Duo, is a Pentium substitute, meaning we will just longer see any new Pentium branded processors. The Pentium 5xx, 6xx and D serials are already becoming a thing of the past. So with Intel now concentering all their care on the Core 2 series, you can look it to elaborate rather rapidly.

Recently, there are 4 Core 2 Duo processors which were freed at the initial establish. There is too the Core II Extreme processor dubbed the X6800, though it extends so small in the way of function over the E6700. There is said to be 4 fresh Core II Duo processors on the way that will function on a 1333MHz FSB and will all characteristic the big IV MB LII Cache. They are the E6650, E6750, E6800 and E6850, though we are not here to discuss these processors now. Instead, we are here to analyze the fresh Kentsfield micro-architecture which is founded on a quad-core 65nm plan.


Step aside double-core, it is just the time of the quad-core and you excellent conceive it. The fresh quad-core serials consists of the Core II Quad Q6600 and the Core II Extreme QX6700. Together characteristic a double IVMB LII cache, function on a 1066MHz FSB, and have a thermal output of 130 watts.


However, the Core II Quad Q6600 is not scheduled for free till former following year, and so now we will be expecting at the more strong Core II Extreme QX6700 edition, which Intel had promised to create available this month, humming along to the tune of only 2.66GHz utilizing a cool 1.34 volts of ability.
