Core™2 Extreme Quad-Core Processor QX6800

Features

The Intel Core™2 Extreme quad-core processor QX6800 delivers Intel's advanced, powerful

processors for desktop PCs. The processor is designed to deliver performance across applications and

usages where end-users can truly appreciate and experience the performance. These applications

include Internet audio and streaming video, image processing, video content creation, speech, 3D,

CAD, games, multimedia, and multitasking user environments.

Intel

enables the processor to execute operating systems and applications written to take

advantage of the Intel 64 architecture. The processor, supporting Enhanced Intel Speedstep

technology, allows tradeoffs to be made between performance and power consumption.

The Core™2 Extreme quad-core processor QX6800 also includes the Execute Disable Bit capability.

This feature, combined with a supported operating system, allows memory to be marked as

executable or non-executable.

The Core™2 Extreme quad-core processor QX6800 supports Intel

Virtualization Technology.

Virtualization Technology provides silicon-based functionality that works together with compatible

Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) software to improve on software-only solutions.
