Probably the best processor of 2006

bytowel401 Jan 25, 2007
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very fast and cheap
Cons No transparent or glow in the dark version available.
Recommended it? Yes

Not the fastest, but definitely the best. Of course I won't count expensive special-purpose processors or any of that. Usually when some company releases a new line of processors they go out of their way to create immense hype, then when they finally release the product it is dead expensive. This...

Excellent Mid Priced Cpu

byeddielakr Jun 20, 2007
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very Fast, Affordable, Great Overclocker, works well in vista
Cons Cpu prices drop, Runs very hot, Original fan is bad
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this on Ebay for approximately $155 brand new with the heatsink/retail fan.

Intel came out with a duo core 2 processor. The processor is not like the old intel pentium chip, because these run as 2 processors built into one. What this does is making your programs run quite a... Read full review »

The Q6600 is a good introductory quad core processor for the Socket 775.

Pros Quad cores, 8Mb total L2 on-chip cache
Cons 65nm always produces more heat than a 45nm quad core
Recommended it? Yes

In the world of IT, we do not get out very often so our biggest thrills surround the arrival of new hardware.  Recently, a new desktop computer from Dell arrived and inside it was the Intel Core 2 Quad, 2.4Ghz processor.  The need to benchmark the daylights out of this processor was too much to...

Fast x4, Overclocks Well if Lucky, but HOT HOT HOT

19 Helpfuls 20 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Can hit 3.5 GHz rock solid stable (YMMV), low FSB and high multiplier (easier OC)
Cons Bad heatsink mount design, high temperatures (even at stock settings)
Recommended it? Yes

It's no secret that Intel's current Core microarchitecture is superior than AMD's current K10. It is also no secret that Intel was ready to unveil a 45 μm refresh of the Core. The quad-core version would be codenamed Yorkfield. Not only will the die be smaller than today’s quad-core (codename... Read full review »
