posted a review on the Intel QX9770 Quad Core Extreme 3.2Ghz Processor:
As with every new Quad-Core Extreme release from Intel, the newer processor
does bring a sizable jump in speed. There is no smoke and mirrors and no one
can deny that Intel's industry leading chips just keep on getting faster and
faster. It is to the point that one has to wonder when is a processor too
fast for the industry. Would faster memory and a faster hard drive improve your
overall computing experience more than a faster CPU? Would Solid State drives
finally unlock the potential that this processor has stored deep down in the
cockles of its cache? Only time will tell, but from my point of view,
processors are not the bottleneck of today's computing, the hard drive's are.
You could have a 10Ghz processor and it will still be dragged down by antiquated
software and hard drives that act like a 500lb ball and chain slowing the
computer down.
But the real concern I am seeing now is that every processor is tied to new
chipset. With the QX9650, you needed a new motherboard to handle the 1333Mhz
FSB and now you need yet another motherboard that supports the new 1600Mhz
front side bus specification. And now that the new six-core processors are to be
released within the upcoming months, are they too going to need a new
motherboard and chipset as well? Only time will tell. I just hope this isn't
going to be a new trend in today's computing.
