Intel Q6600 Quad core launches on the 7th Jan 2007

CALLOFDUTY05 · 22nd Dec 2006, 12:01 AM

The spec is the same as for the Q6700 CPU, but the new one runs at 2.4GHz instead of 2.66.

Intel plans to price it at $851 per piece. But if you are patient and you want to wait for Q1 2007, then you will be able to buy the same CPU for $530. The fastest Quad core, the Q6700 won't drop its price anytime soon.

Hmm.. That doesn't sound like the mainstream quad-core we are expecting from Intel. I think that will be based on the Allendale, instead of the Conroe.

I am hoping to have cheap quad core, maybe in 2008 I think but I guess by them maybe the industry will be heading toward double quad core

" Double Quad Core " !!!!. Then I think we'll be able to run 3D Studio Max 9,Adobe Premiere HD Encoding,Battlefield 2142
& Maya rendering all at the same time.Just kidding but it's gonna happen in 2060, I think.

whats the use having double quadcore when your RAM is limited

CALLOFDUTY05 · 22nd Dec 2006, 09:17 PM

U can install a total of 8GB ram in all recent mobos.Do u think that is limited, Zy ?

but windows XP support only 4gb ?

CALLOFDUTY05 · 22nd Dec 2006, 11:58 PM

So what, Vista is there to help u in that.

Vista Home Basic (and Home Basic N) with support up to 8 GB of RAM, compared to 4 GB for all 32-bit versions of Vista. Home Premium, meanwhile, will support 16 GB. And Business (and Business N), Enterprise, and Ultimate will all support 128 GB or more of memory. (The "or more" bit refers to the fact that there are no client PCs available yet for over 128 GB of RAM; when that happens, these Vista versions will support it.)

You can get a cheap quad core soon. Intel's going to release a mainstream quad-core processor in a month or so.
