Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 Processor Review
System Setup and Benchmarks
Our testing setup involved a move to the new Intel P35 chipset -- the first Intel chipset with official 1333 MHz front-side bus support. I used the new Gigabyte P35-DQ6 motherboard with which we have had great overclocking success.
