Kentsfield XE, another name for the Core 2 Extreme QX6700 Quad-Core PC is Intel’s first office was introduced in the last quarter of 2006. The difference in the range of other Core 2 processors in addition to the used basis is the amount of L2 cache and clock speed of the processor, of course. For interconnection, the instructions embedded in the chipset that supports these processors are still the same.

After Kentsfield, Intel will update its line of quad-core Yorkfield with the series. There will be many improvements made by Intel. One example is the L2 cache of up to 12 MB, the production of 45-nanometer technology, new SSE4 instructions for enhanced performance for multimedia applications, graphics, games and improved functionality for encoding and decoding video. Unfortunately, the functionality of the protection against high speed (multiplier locked) is activated and deactivated only version Yorkfield Extreme.

Although using the same packaging, the LGA 775 processor with four cores to use the motherboard with a new chipset Q35, Q33 and G31. And in the future, it will more and more applications and games that optimize quad-core processor, for example Ice Storm Fighter relatively heavy to run on dual core processors. So get ready for the platform change.
