While Intel’s Extreme series processors are a luxury few can afford, the fully unlocked multipliers are a feature all serious overclockers desire. TweakNews has just posted a review of the Intel QX6850 Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor.

Let’s see what they had to say:

“At this time, the QX6850 is and will be the performance king from Intel until the QX6900/6950 will be released within six months time. At this time, Intel is in a whole different league when compared to its nearest competition. There is just nothing out there that can hold a candle to what this processor is capable of when applied properly.”


While the Kentsfield architecture is set to be replaced by Yorkfield sometime in late 2007/early 2008, the QX6850 is still an immensely fast chip, and deserves a spot in any top-of-the-line system.
