Intel Plans to Launch New Core 2 Extreme CPU

malware · Oct 16, 2007

Intel is planning to launch a new desktop processor for its upcoming Skulltrail motherboard, a high-end dual CPU enthusiast and gaming platform. The US$1,499 new quad-core Core 2 Extreme QX9775 will be clocked at 3.2GHz with 1600MHz FSB, and will utilize the server-based socket 771. The new CPU will be based on the Intel Xeon server family with SMP technology to enable two quad-core CPUs support for Skulltrail desktop platform. However, with the cost of a Skulltrail platform and two supporting CPUs reaching several thousand US dollars, Skulltrail is expected to break benchmark records, rather than sales ones, although the platform may be popular in the workstation market.

What is skulltrail?

...I'm assuming a new chipset, but haven't heard that codename yet.
