Intel ships first quad-core Core 2 Extreme QX6700!
Intel has begun shipping its first quad-core processor "Kentsfield" to system builders for system testing. They will be available in very limited quantities by mid November and are not (yet) bound to show a large performance jump in games, but should give you your moneys worth in multimedia applications. Kentsfield will ship with 8 MB of L2 cache and a clock speed of 2.67 GHz to keep the processor within a 110 watt power envelope - up from 65 watts of the dual-core Core 2 Duo E6700 with the identical clock speed.
