Intel Core 2 Updates, QX6850 and E6750

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the reminds-me-of-a-daft-punk-song dept.

An anonymous reader writes "As AMD's Barcelona approaches, the price war between AMD and Intel continues. To spice things up a bit this week, Intel is throwing into the ring a number of new processors, refreshing the Core2 line-up. HEXUS reviews the high-end QX6850 and mid-range E6750: 'Now is a golden time for anyone looking to buy a new CPU, whether Intel or AMD. The latest round of price cuts means you can now get an incredible level of processing performance for little more than £100. But if your need to buy is not urgent, remember that Intel and its big rival are each promising new processors before the end of the year — AMD with K10 quad-core and Intel with 45nm Penryn-derived CPUs.'"

    I use to check all the performance charts back when AIM was still alive. Now I really can't care about them. Would have loved to see a G6 pwn Intel and AMD, oh well. Long Live PowerPC. I'll Always Run You!

    ... These things are designed by humans ...

    Okay..., who else is there to design this stuff. If machines (robots, or whatever you want to put in here) were able to produce stuff (in an industrial sort of way), they'd probably be manufacturing organic stuff, like stomach's (with which to enjoy food), penises and vaginas (well you know...) and hearts (to experience emotion and toil) and all those things that make being human interesting, unique and 'messy'. Funny isn't it, we're all trying to make their stuff, and if they could, they'd probably be trying to make our stuff.
