Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 3.0GHz

With the Yorkfield core, Intel takes the Core 2 specification to the Extreme. This 45nm based processor is designed for lightning fast performance . Its fully 64-bit capable with the Intel 64 architecture so you can take advantage of the additional power and efficiency youd expect.

• L2 cache has been bumped to 12MB and the Front Side Bus to 1333MHz. You can use both DDR2 and the hot new DDR3 memory for extreme performance. They also boosted memory access and execution speed with the Wide Dynamic Execution and Smart Memory Access. These combine to let the processor compute more instructions with more data per clock cycle. Youd better watch out those in game enemies will be shooting back faster now.

• The Advanced Digital Media Boost feature has been enhanced with the addition of the SSE4 instruction set and Intel HD Boost. This will give your entertainment experience a boost with better audio and video processing. It will also help with speech recognition, engineering and scientific applications. Perhaps most important of all will be the boost to security with increased encryption power and speed.
