Review @ bit-tech.netTo be frank, there's not really much to say because this puppy is a monster, but one that comes dripped in bling for a high price. With Intel dominating the high end it can charge precisely what it wants for its "enthusiast" Extreme Edition parts. "Enthusiast"? No. More money than sense and an ego to fill? Yes.
Anyone who owns one of these and doesn't drive a Ferrari to work won't have bought one - this CPU is merely a technical demo and a marketing exercise for Intel (and its partners) to flex its muscles after AMD's lukewarm attempt at competing. This CPU, while oh-so-awesome in its technology and its performance, is an economic travesty for the consumer. It's exactly the reason why we need adequate competition, and in that respect, it's like the graphics card market, for example. It's not Intel's fault, it's simple economics - supply and demand.
Any real "enthusiast" looking for QX9770 performance will be looking at the Core 2 Quad Q9450 with its identical 8x multiplier and rubbing their thighs in anticipation of a quick and dirty overclock from 1,333MHz (333MHz) to 1,600MHz (400MHz) front side bus. It's much the same conclusion of every Intel Core 2 Extreme Edition processor review - if you can get this kind of performance, by whatever means necessary, you will have to strap down your case because it's going to fly!

Meine nächste CPU wird der Q9450, ev. pretested, denn der Name "Extreme Edition" und der offene Multiplikator sind mir den Neupreis nicht wert.

Wann kommen eigentlich endlich Reviews von echten Q9450 raus, es kann doch nicht sein, das es nicht mal Testsamples gibt. Die Verfügbarkeit wird wohl noch ewig auf sich warten lassen, irgendwie lässt sich Intel mehr Zeit, als einem lieb ist.
Der Q9450 wird halt unter dem niedrigen Multi leiden und damit das Übertakten schwierig gestallten, die 4GHz werden eine Herausforderung.
