Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition Editors' choice Reviewed on 11/03/2008

The Bottom Line: Thanks to an expensive new motherboard requirement, Intel's new Core i7 desktop processors will remain enthusiast and professional-level parts until more affordable complementary hardware comes out later next year. Speed never comes cheap, however, and if you're willing to spend for it now, you'll find yourself in possession of the fastest CPU on the market.

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650
  • Editors' rating: 4 stars
      Overall score: 8.3 (4.0 stars)
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Reviewed on 10/28/2007

The Bottom Line: The CPU market is due for a lot of upheaval over the next 12 months, so you might be wise to wait for a clearer picture before plunking down $1,000 or so on Intel's new Core 2 Extreme QX9650 quad-core desktop processor. But if you want to claim ownership of the fastest multicore CPU around today, look no further.

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850
  • Editors' rating: 4 stars
      Overall score: 8.3 (4.0 stars)
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 Reviewed on 07/17/2007

The Bottom Line: The quad-core Core 2 Extreme QX6850 keeps the desktop CPU performance belt tied firmly around Intel's waist at a price that helps offset the lack of sizable performance gains. New products at the end of the year may outclass this new chip when they arrive, but for now, the QX6850 reigns supreme.

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700

      Overall score: 8.7 (4.0 stars)
  • User rating: 5 stars out of 4 reviews
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 Reviewed on 11/01/2006

The Bottom Line: If you thought dual cores were over the top, get ready. Intel presents the Core 2 Extreme QX6700, a single CPU with four distinct processing cores. At $999, the first quad-core CPU will remain an enthusiast part for a while, but as a glimpse of the future, it's clear that clock speed is out and core counts are in.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Reviewed on 07/13/2006

The Bottom Line: Intel's Core 2 Duo line marks the end of AMD's run of dominance through the dual-core desktop-processor landscape. Not only are Intel's new chips fast, efficient, and well designed, but they're also aggressively priced and sure to send ripples though the desktop PC industry. If you are buying or building a new computer, we recommend that a Core 2 Duo chip be at its center.

  • Editors' rating: 4h stars
      Overall score: 9.0 (4.5 stars)
  • User rating: 4 stars out of 27 reviews
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 Editors' choice Reviewed on 07/13/2006

The Bottom Line: Intel's Core 2 Duo E6700 offers the best price-to-performance ratio we've seen in a desktop chip. For half the cost of AMD's top-of-the-line chip, you get identical if not superior performance and better power efficiency. AMD surprised us last year with its completely dominant dual-core chips, but Intel regains the crown with Core 2 Duo.

Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 Reviewed on 07/13/2006

The Bottom Line: AMD's Athlon 64 FX line has worn the desktop CPU performance crown for over a year. The king is dead. Intel's new flagship Core 2 Extreme X6800 not only hands AMD a defeat on all of our benchmarks, but it's also a more efficient, better designed chip overall.

Intel Pentium Extreme Edition 965 Reviewed on 03/22/2006

Editors' Take: Intel's latest Pentium Extreme Edition 965 chip makes improvements in raw performance, but with a massive power-supply requirement, Intel's design looks inefficient compared to AMD's.
