Intel Pentium XE 955
 

"In the past few months, the race to release the hottest new processor has slowed down in the consumer market, but this past week, we saw the introduction of Intel's latest processor which sports some very nifty features. The Extreme Edition 955 double core processor is one amazing chip which sports the usual EM64T, Hyper-Threading Technology and Execute Disable Bit features, but it also brings Intel's 65nm manufacturing process to the market along with a 1066MHz FSB, 2 x 2MB L2 cache and two cores, each on its own silicon chip. This chip runs at a quick 3.46GHz and I am sure it can be set loose with the proper cooling. Let's take a look at what Intel's changes mean for consumers looking to get the most out of their double core computing experience!"
