QX6700 Quad Core, two times better than a dual core with double power requirement

As we have not gotten tired to repeat, the world of the hardware walks infartantemente accelerated more and more. This year particularly has been moved, because we saw like, after a 2005 of sinsabores for Chipzilla, where AMD every time positioned of better way in the market their products stars very based on the K8 architecture (Athlon 64, Athlon 64 FX and Opteron) in decline of which Intel had to offer to us, their ultramegahertzica-but-little-efficient Netburst architecture, that in spite of rendering enough good did not reach to surpass to K8, which added to a price that did not manage to by hand compete hand with the prices of AMD was forming him an image of titan fallen to the ship drived by Otellini and company, came a 2006 that began timid; the opening in I publish of the process of manufacture of 65nm, on the part of the cores Cedar Mill and Presler (of which they could see a thorough analysis in these same pages), which logically did not offer nothing else that a diminution in the heat dissipation and the consumption of being able since they were single a “shrinking” of which already we had seen under the name of Prescott and Smithfield (although also we do not have to forget that Presler by a subject of optimization of costs separated both cores in different pieces from silicon). These products followed without being a competition too much hard for the small one but already more and more consolidated AMD; the thing put something more interesting when Intel decided to adopt a more aggressive strategy of prices and to locate to its processors doubles nucleus in a quite economic rank of prices. She is why we could see models doubles nucleus like 805 Pentium D or Pentium D 930 or 940 in quite attractive seats of honor of price for which they looked for an alternative not too expensive to be able to have two nuclei mounted in a plate mother. More efficient Athlon 64 x2 continued being mhz mhz, but their price towards which the blue option did not stop being interesting.
