| Re: Wolfdale Arrives: Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Review Its about what i expected...not a huge performance gain. Looks like 5-15% in most cases. Think i might wait a while with my Q6600...

| Re: Wolfdale Arrives: Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Review If you have a q6600, as ive been saying all along, there is not reason to replace it with a penryn. I'm going to wait until nehalem gets a die shrink to 32nm and the boards/ddr3 are mature.

| Re: Wolfdale Arrives: Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Review I've got a quick question. Has anyoen heard if the QX6850 will drop in price any when the QX9650 is released for sale? Since the 9650 is only around $1k. And the 6850 is the same >.> 1100$ at ncix -.-. If it drops to 7-800 ish I might consider getting one later on XD

| Re: Wolfdale Arrives: Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Review Dont expect anything with the word extreme to come down in price anytime soon.

| Re: Wolfdale Arrives: Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Review gotcha XD I won't bother with it then. I just find it odd that the older chips will be the same price as the new one. Intel shooting itself in the foot again imo

| Re: Wolfdale Arrives: Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Review Nah look at what happened with the old xx00's when the xx20's and xx50s came out. The newer faster cpus were cheaper than the old ones.
