Au début juillet 2007 et la fin du mois de septembre je vous parlais dans ces articles (cf : "Test : Les nouveaux Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 et Core 2 Quad Extreme QX6850", celui-ci "Test : L’Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme QX6850 chez Matbe." et enfin "Test : Processeurs Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 et Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850.") des tests publiés par les sites Clubic, Matbe et TT-Harrdware du processeur Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 FSB 1333 MHz Quad Pumped. Et bien c’est maintenant au tour de notre confrère américain The Tech Report de tester ce même processeur.
"Intel’s Core 2 Extreme QX6850 processor said its first hello to the world some months ago, and unusually, I totally whiffed on getting my review out at that time. In my defense, I had many things on my mind, including preparing for the launch of brand-new processor microarchitectures from AMD and Intel in the form of the Barcelona Opterons and Harpertown Xeons. Meanwhile, I was rebuilding our desktop-class CPU test rigs with new software and hardware, the latest and greatest stuff. I was also busy with utterlyruining my website, and let me tell you, personal career suicide isn’t as easy as Britney Spears makes it look. Girl has a gift."
