Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6800

With a default speed of 2.93GHz, this is currently the fastest desktop quad-core CPU on the market. At its default speed, the QX6800 didn't perform much faster than the QX6700, but we were able to overclock it reliably up to 3.47GHz, where we observed much better gains in performance. It's definitely a high-end CPU for a professional, a gamer or an enthusiast user, and it has a high-end price tag to match.
