Intel intros the QX6850, lowers prices! - [hardware]
03:55 AM EDT - Jul,16 2007 - post a comment

Intel today announced a new lineup of 1333 MHz front-side bus dual and quad-core processors. The new Intel 1333 MHz front-side bus lineup consists of three dual-core and one quad-core processors. The highlight is the top-end $999 Core 2 Extreme QX6850, a 3.0GHz chip with a new 1,333MHz front side bus. The dual-core lineup also get the newer, faster bus, and features the 3.0GHz Core 2 Duo E6850 ($266), the 2.66GHz E6750 ($183), and the 2.33GHz E6550 ($163). Rounding out the announcement, a new 1,066MHz front side bus Core 2 Quad chip makes its debut as well. The Q6700 will sell with a clock speed of 2.66GHz for $530.

Despite the new product introductions, there are no price cuts on existing products today. Nevertheless, Intel plans to cut prices on most dual and quad-core products next week. When the new price cuts go into effect, the entry-level Core 2 Quad Q6600 drops down to $266, matching the Core 2 Duo E6850 in price.

The QX6850 isn't the only bit of extremeness Intel is unleashing today, by the way. The company's also announcing a new mobile version of the Core 2 Extreme. The Core 2 Extreme Mobile X7800 runs at 2.6GHz on an 800MHz bus, has an unlocked upper multiplier for mobile overclocking action, and costs a healthy $85.

At $266 the Q6600 is looking mighty damn fine indeed. Then again a dual-core at 3GHz for same price ain't too bad neither. Decisions, decisions...:-)
