Intel Penryn QX9770 Review

@ 2007/11/20
Intel has done it. Before the Penryn (aka Yorkfield) chips have even hit the streets they've gone and released yet another chip for the press to go over. Today we take a look at Intel's new poster child, the QX9770 Core 2 Quad Extreme Edition. This newborn Yorkfiled chip features a blistering 1600MHz FSB as its stock setting and runs at 3.2GHz!

the power consumption at that speed is remarkable low

now if only there was a cheap 1033 FSB Penryn

No mention of excessive heat here unlike other reviews? Still, 4.3Ghz air cool is not bad at all for daily use. If you are willing to pay for DDR3 now you won't mind the price of the CPU. Nothing substitutes having "enough" money.
