Intel QX9770 Review: Feel The Surge

Mezmorize Me

Looking at the CPU arithmetic memory test, we can see the QX9770 smacking the QX6850 in a race to get the most floating operation points (FLOP) per second, gaining about a 10% increase in operations instructions and carry out. The benchmarking suite put on load into measurement, something floating point results can forget to take into account. With equivalent load, the QX9770 was able to carry out operations much faster, but compare the QX6850 to any other contender than this Intel CPU and then we’ll see it give a severe blow to others. In measuring memory bandwidth in each processor core as a whole, the QX9770 showed a maximum of 8.93% increase compared to the QX6850 and really starts to show off it’s abs. If CPU’s had abs, like our situation, the QX9770 would have a 8 pack with the QX6850 following in with a 4 pack. You’re fine QX6850 owners, right where you are with a great Intel product unless that 10% really matters that much to you.

Interesting Fact: ALU is the arithmetic portion of a CPU’s day to day calculations. It’s the stuff that allows you to do all comparison operations, addition and subtraction. Fancy that.

    An amazingly worded article to start the month.

    I didn’t know the Arithmetic logistic unit MIPS was so much higher compared to the QX9650. I’m very much interested now to buy this product.

    When I get money next week, I WILL be buying this. I could go with a 9775, but I heard a lot of good things about this one and it’s in my range

    Usman you really push boundaries that I haven’t ever really seen a site do. You’re managing to review anything you get your hands on and really have a caring aspect in your reviews about the product unlike all other sites.

    Thanks so much. Just ordered this!

    JUST bought as well. Thanks for this in-depth and easy to follow review.

    I have a QX6850, but I’m actually going to upgrade now because of this review. That extra % does matter to me.

    Beautiful reviw ncie stuff. I love that there’s so much power in this thing. And I can’t agree more with the ending. Powerful to me is definitely how fast some effects render

  6. adurioubmidam June 1st, 2008 8:32 PM

    I have also ordered this. Going to try it with the new board I bought. Thx

    GOLDEN CHOICE AWARD. Must get. Get get now.

  8. JoshDargie June 1st, 2008 8:44 PM

    It definitely sounds like one for the golden award. Ordering Next Tuesday. Thanks

    Merci Beaucoup. ==D La Paris aimes le QX9770 tres beaucoup. Je vends bien, maintenant.

    I’ll buy it xD

    12 MB L2 Cache shared should be a treat. Glad to see motherboard manu. supporting 1600MHz/4 per core on quad cores. It should really close the gap between CPU output and data execution read throughput. Thanks for this review.

    Count me in on the endless list of people here who are buying this.

  11. Vash63 June 1st, 2008 8:53 PM

    I’m out of money from the Q9300 I buy from other computer. I buy this in weeks to come. thkjs form India.

    Both both shukreeah bahi sahb. Apka both shukreeah for this review.

    Means thanks!

  12. genieinthebottle June 1st, 2008 8:55 PM

    Told my boyfriend to read this review just now. He needed a new CPU. We’re going to go with this one.

  13. PCTechNerd June 1st, 2008 8:57 PM

    Will upgrade soon. Surprised to see it did only 10% more than a 9650. expected a bit more but it works ;)

  14. Pancakes June 1st, 2008 9:00 PM

    Did someone say Breakfast?!?! ORDERED IT! Won’t need an upgrade for a CPU now. How about a great motherboard? Crossfire preferred? Thanks!

  15. IBKING91 June 1st, 2008 9:02 PM

    I will buy this for a new system I’m building. I was going to buy a Q9300 but Igot extra money. thanks.

  16. Apollodorus June 1st, 2008 9:23 PM

    Sounds good. Buying it now, need more Intel reviews!!!!! + ATI ones.

    “If CPU’s had abs, like our situation, the QX9770 would have a 8 pack with the QX6850 following in with a 4 pack.”

    WhatIfGaming really knows how to make stuff interesting lol. Love the article, and going to commemorate it by buying this! Thanks for this amazing review

    Sweet stuff WiG!

  19. Monolith2001 June 1st, 2008 11:18 PM

    Buying this for MMO RIGHT now.!

  20. antaraa June 2nd, 2008 12:33 AM

    Marvelous. I can’t buy it right now but you got me thinking about it bad.

  21. bbflynn June 2nd, 2008 12:36 AM

    I’m buying it as well

  22. venkatezh June 2nd, 2008 12:37 AM

    Great stuff for a great review. Just going to get my hands on this one soon

  23. venkatezh June 2nd, 2008 12:37 AM

    Pretty great. Beautiful stuff

  24. ZepherX June 2nd, 2008 12:38 AM

    I’m loving this tone. Going to get this in a month or so.

  25. atl_rg June 2nd, 2008 12:40 AM

    I have a 6850, looking to upgrade. Seems this is good

  26. IntelLover June 2nd, 2008 12:42 AM

    I personally love Intel. I’m not a fanboy, as I’m smarter than that. I just know they make good products. They will eventually send you guys product samples.

    I trust they’re smart. Or at least think they are.

    Anyways I bought it!

  27. FreedomPhantom June 2nd, 2008 12:44 AM

    WhatIfGaming FTW. Buying this later on less I see something else I like! Keep the amazing reviews coming.

  28. coop81 June 2nd, 2008 12:46 AM

    ALU MIPs seem consistent throughout. I’ll get this since I was already looking at it before but barely saw any reviews. Thanks
