Introduction:

The Intel® Core 2 Extreme processor QX9650 series is based on the Enhanced Intel Core microarchitecture.
The Enhanced Intel Core microarchitecture combines the performance of previous generation Desktop products
with the power efficiencies of a low-power microarchitecture to enable smaller, quieter systems. The Intel Core™2
Extreme processor QX9000 series are 64-bit processors that maintains compatibility with IA-32 software.
The processors use a Flip-Chip Land Grid Array (FC-LGA6) package technology, and plugs into a 775-land surface
mount, Land Grid Array (LGA) socket, referred to as the LGA775 socket.

Application:

Almost too real : Get stunning realism on immersive multi-threaded games with advanced artificial intelligence (AI),
particle systems, dynamic physics and texture- generation engines, with four cores of pure performance.

Expect everything – and get it :
Get the ultimate engine for advanced multimedia with Intel HD Boost (Intel HDB) built into the Intel Core 2 Extreme processor.
It delivers up to 40 percent higher performance for intensive multimedia applications like HD video encoding.

Take control :
With overspeed protection removed, you can tune your system for maximum performance to go where no gamer has gone before.

Key Features:

• Quad-Core Processing
  Provides four independent execution cores in a single processor package. Four dedicated processing threads help
  operating systems and applications deliver additional performance, so end users can experience better
  multitasking and multi-threaded performance across many types of applications and workloads.

• Chipset Support
  Intel® Express Chipsets offer an array of exciting capabilities including dual graphics and deliver an impressivelevel
  of performance for demanding users.

• Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution
  Improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle.

• Intel® Smart Memory Acces
  Optimizes the use of the data bandwidth from the memory subsystem to accelerate out-of-order execution.
  A prediction mechanism reduces the time in-flight instructions have to wait for data.

• Intel® Advanced Smart Cache
  Dynamically allocates the shared L2 cache to each processor core based on workload. This efficient,
  dual-core-optimized implementation increases the probability that each core can access data from fast L2 cache,
  significantly reducing latency to frequently used data and improving performance.

• Intel® HD Boost
  Accelerates the execution of Streaming SIMD Extension (SSE) instructions to significantly improve the performance
  on a broad range of multimedia and compute intensive applications.

• Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)
  Allows one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms. Intel VT improves manageability,
  limits downtime,and maintains worker productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.

• Intel® 64 Architecture
  Allows the processor to access larger amounts of memory. With appropriate 64-bit hardware and software, platforms
  based on an Intel processor supporting Intel 64 architecture can allow the use of extended virtual and physical memory.
  

• Execute Disable Bit
  Provides enhanced virus protection when deployed with a supported operating system and prevents the code from
  infecting the system. Memory can be marked as executable or non-executable, allowing the processor to raise an
  error to the operating system if malicious code attempts to run in non-executable memory.
