It has been a couple of week since the new ground-breaking Intel processor Core 2 Quad was officially released and I just realised it's already in the market! Here are the two excerpts taken from TechSpot and Hexus.net.
Get more detail pictures, specifications and all the facts about this processor from the links below.
Currently, there are four Core 2 Duo processors which were released at the initial launch (E6300, E6400, E6600 and E6700). There is also the Core 2 Extreme processor dubbed the X6800, though it offers very little in the way of performance over the E6700. There is said to be four new Core 2 Duo processors on the way that will run on a 1333MHz FSB and will all feature the larger 4MB L2 Cache. They are the E6650, E6750, E6800 and E6850, though we are not here to discuss these processors today. Rather, we are here to examine the new Kentsfield micro-architecture which is based on a quad-core 65nm design.

Intel's quad-core processor, codenamed Kentsfield, has been one of its least well kept secrets. In fact, benchmarks have been leaking out for months. Illicit samples obtained on the black market were the first to appear, then Intel itself gave more than just a sneak peek at its most recent Developer Forum. The numbers were already impressive back then, but at last the Core 2 Extreme QX6700 is finally here.

Eventhough the multi core era has begun, but very few applications that can really take advantage of this state-of-the-art processor. For those who have money, go and get it as it's a good investment for the future but I rather wait for some time until the price starts to settle down.
