ReviewsIntel Core 2 Extreme QX9650
Reviewed on October 28, 2007 The CPU market is due for a lot of upheaval over the next 12 months, so you might be wise to wait for a clearer picture before plunking down $1,000 or so on Intel's new Core 2 Extreme QX9650 quad-core desktop processor. But if you want to claim ownership of the fastest multicore CPU around today, look no further. -
ReviewsDell XPS 730 H2C Desktop Computer (Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 1TB/2GB)
Reviewed on May 1, 2008 Dell's updated flagship gaming desktop incorporates the latest hardware from Intel, Nvidia, and AMD into a system that delivers some very impressive gaming scores. We'd give it a higher recommendation if it wasn't so expensive compared with systems from the competition. -
ReviewsIntel Core 2 Extreme QX6700
Reviewed on November 1, 2006 If you thought dual cores were over the top, get ready. Intel presents the Core 2 Extreme QX6700, a single CPU with four distinct processing cores. At $999, the first quad-core CPU will remain an enthusiast part for a while, but as a glimpse of the future, it's clear that clock speed is out and core counts are in. -
ReviewsFalcon Northwest FragBox 2 (Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650)
Reviewed on October 14, 2008 Falcon Northwest's high-end, preconfigured FragBox 2 leans on a pair of top-of-the-line ATI 3D cards to achieve some of the fastest 3D scores we've seen. You might rightly wait for Intel's new CPUs to ship before making a pricey PC purchase, but if you buy this system now, you'll be treated to a superfast little desktop. -
ReviewsAlienware Area-51 ALX (Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770)
Reviewed on June 5, 2008 Alienware delivers most of what we expect in a high-end gaming PC, but without 64-bit Vista support, the Area-51 ALX's overall performance is limited. It's the fastest thing going for PC gaming, but at this price we expect the complete package. -
ReviewsFalcon Northwest Mach V (Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6800)
Reviewed on July 25, 2007 This newest Falcon Northwest Mach V isn't shy about its price tag, but it also dominated our gaming tests thanks to two fast ATI 3D cards and an overall top-notch configuration. The current uncertainty regarding next-gen PC gaming is the only issue holding this system back. -
ReviewsIntel Core 2 Extreme QX6850
Reviewed on July 17, 2007 The quad-core Core 2 Extreme QX6850 keeps the desktop CPU performance belt tied firmly around Intel's waist at a price that helps offset the lack of sizable performance gains. New products at the end of the year may outclass this new chip when they arrive, but for now, the QX6850 reigns supreme. -
ReviewsAlienware Area-51 7500 (Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700)
Reviewed on January 3, 2007 We'd like this latest quad core-equipped Area-51 7500 if it were about $1,000 cheaper. It's as fast as it should be, but other vendors have similarly configured PCs that can do just as much for significantly less. Alienware's trademark care in assembly is evident, but that's not enough to justify the cost. -
ReviewsIntel Core 2 Extreme X6800
Reviewed on July 13, 2006 AMD's Athlon 64 FX line has worn the desktop CPU performance crown for over a year. The king is dead. Intel's new flagship Core 2 Extreme X6800 not only hands AMD a defeat on all of our benchmarks, but it's also a more efficient, better designed chip overall. -
ReviewsMaingear X-Cube (Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6800)
Reviewed on May 9, 2007 Maingear's sharp, tidy X-Cube packs a mostly powerful gaming punch. It loses a few steps due to Vista, and we wish it had a few more features. With so much in PC gaming in flux, we're also reluctant to recommend such a pricey purchase now. But if you need a fast, small gaming PC today, the X-Cube mostly delivers. -
ReviewsFalcon Northwest Mach V (Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770)
Reviewed on May 29, 2008 The Falcon Northwest Mach V is an expensive, very well-built high-end gaming PC. It features the latest in almost everything, with the top-end performance to match. True snobs will want faster memory, but aside from that, the Mach V gets almost everything right. -
ReviewsGateway FX530XT
Reviewed on May 31, 2007 Gateway's reinvigorated flagship desktop offers a compelling combination of high-end features and fast 3D gaming and multimedia. Unfortunately, the motherboard hasn't caught up, limiting its upgrade potential. That's a small flaw, and otherwise this PC offers almost everything you'd want. -
ReviewsGateway FX510XT - Core 2 Extreme X6800 2.93 GHz - 21" TFT
Reviewed on August 4, 2006 We like that the new FX510XT gives you the option of purchasing a fully loaded, Intel Core 2 Extreme PC from Gateway, but it lacks the polish and the performance of other high-end systems. Its midtower case won't hog your desktop as much a full-tower PC, but that's not enough to help it stand out. -
NewsDell announces first quad-core servers
November 8, 2006 Servers based on Intel's quad-core Xeon available beginning early 2007; Dell also announces new AMD Opteron system. -
News
