Intel Core 2 Quad: Grasping Bounds Q8000
Intel has announced that they will be soon releasing the Q8000 series for all the Core 2 fans out there. Technically successor to the Q9550, the 8-series line of processors will unveil great speed, with a 1333MHz FSB capability for connection between PCI-AGP-CPU-and memory (NB to CPU) and also extremely great connection to Southbridge.
The Quad 8000 will go head on towards AMD’s triple-core CPU’s by launching at entry point. Good news for those who already burned money on power supplies. Now you’re probably wondering why it’s a step down. Good question! Different from Intel’s Q9000 CPU line, the Q8000 series doesn’t support Intel’s VT. That’s Virtualization Technology (integrating multiple environments on one vPro capable system or the like).
Intel goodness at it’s best. I prefer the Q6600 though. 9550 is great too. I just have the 6600. Going to buy that Ex review that was done on the CPU sect. recently. Great news

Q6600 is a great CPU as well

Agreed
Yeah. I suppose this is a downside for those who need too many environments, but really good for the modern consumers
I like it. But already got the heavier end ones : D
Cool news
This should be great for most high end game processing.
