Intel Launches Core 2 Extreme QX6800
Intel today bumped the clock speeds of its quad-core Core 2 Extreme processors with the addition of the QX6800. The new Core 2 Extreme QX6800 clocks in at 2.93 GHz, matching last summer's dual-core flagship X6800. Intel's new Core 2 Extreme QX6800 features 8MB of total L2 cache and an unlocked upper multiplier for overclocking goodness. As with the previous Core 2 Extreme QX6700 and Core 2 Quad Q6600, the new QX6800 shares the 65nm Kentsfield core. Intel prices the Core 2 Extreme QX6800 at $1199, however, aggressive Q3'07 price cuts will drop the QX6800 down to $999.

It's got 4MBx2 of cache = 8MBs total cache :p
There are still a lot of people who could run their daily apps on a 486-DX266.
