Notes

For the Core 2 Quad Q6600 launch Intel isn’t providing CPU samples of the processor itself to press in advance, so we’re forced to lower the multiplier on our Core 2 Extreme QX6700 processor instead in order to obtain our benchmark results for this article. Performance between this underclocked QX6700 running at 2.4GHz and the real deal should be pretty similar, although obviously we can’t provide any indication on how well the CPU overclocks, as we don’t have a real sample to test with.

In any case, on to the benchmarks!
