Intel's Core 2 Quad Extreme Edition QX6850 and Core2 E6750 Host bus: 1333 MHz
(Review by MS, July 15, 2007)

CPU Details

Under the Hood of the Core2 Duo 6750 and the Core2 Extreme 6850 is nothing new, we have the same Conroe and Kentsfield processors that we already saw in earlier productions and that were largely responsible for re-establishing Intel's leading role in the performance desktop segment.

What is different is, as mentioned earlier, the host bus interface and with the increased bus speed also comes a minor drawback in the form of reduced throttling if Intel's Enhanced Speedstep Technology is enabled for power saving. The lowest multiplier supported by the Core2 design is the 6x multiplier and at 333 MHz, that still results in 2.0 GHz as the lowest core speed that the CPUs can fall back onto.

   

Even though both frequency and voltage are reduced under throttled conditions, the higher frequency results in some hefty overhead when it comes to idle power consumption in Windows which is what we will be looking at next.
