Intel Performance Topped Out Already?

This is the guy I prefer to read up on CPU testing.

He buys all of the stuff he reviews, and has absolutely unbiased opinions as he recieves nothing from Intel, or AMD, or anyone for that matter.

This article leads one to believe that the QX9650 is the best quad core CPU hands down, which means that the slower cheaper models coming in Februrary '08, will be good solid bets, and the QX9650 will be a great upgrade for later next year when the audio apps start optimising for SSE4 amd multicore support.

The QX9650 OC'd better than the 3.2GHz QX9770 !! Hopefully AMD can release a great CPU next spring to keep Intel honest.

Lest we pay those 1999 prices again. :cry:
