Core 2 Extreme QX9770 previewed

Core 2 Extreme QX9770 is Intel’s coming flagship and even though it just launched the Core 2 Extreme QX9650, it has already sent out samples of the replacement. Why you might ask, but that’s only until you realize that AMD just launched Phenom. Even if Intel’s coming flagship costs four times as much as AMD’s latest creations, there’s no doubt who has the fastest processor. Core 2 Extreme QX9770 sports four cores working at 3.2 GHz and a processor bus at 1600 MHz.

The processor is based on the Intel 45 nm quad-core architecture, also known as Yorkfield, and if you want a hint of what is about to come you can take a look at the previews below.
