Intel has unveiled the Core 2 Extreme Q6700, their first quad-core processor. The chip is called 'Kentsfield' and has two integrated Core 2 Chips in a single package. This chip is available immediately and is aimed at the enthusiast and gamer market. Intel has essentially clubbed two Core 2 processors, for this release which has lead to the processor shipping with 8 MB of L2 cache which is shared across both units. Intel has also said that 13 PC manufacturers will be releasing solutions based on this new processor. This new release comes at a great time for enthusiasts. Nvidia's G80 and new 600 series of chipsets is just weeks away, and now with the Kentsfield available it's a good time. |
