Both AMD and Intel knew this before the Extreme Edition chips came to market, of course, but with the quad-core Core 2 Extreme QX6700, the answer to the problem becomes much easier to understand than even with dual-core CPUs rather than make the chips faster, Intel has made them able to do more things at once.
When those Pentium Extreme Edition chips started hitting 3.6GHz and higher, the cumbersome liquid-cooling hardware required to keep them from overheating became a visible, noisy reminder that heat dissipation is a major challenge for system builders. The reason in a word is heat: The faster a chip runs, the hotter it becomes. If you'll recall, both Intel and AMD have been laying the groundwork to get people away from thinking of raw megahertz as the primary indicator of processor capability.

You might not need a PC with such a pricey chip now, but our testing found that for applications and scenarios that will put it to the test, Intel's new quad-core chip will give you an absolute boost in performance.
At $999, the Core 2 Extreme QX6700 will likely end up in only the most expensive of desktops, but the fact is that the multicore revolution is fully upon us. We found that with certain applications, Apple's high-end designer box is faster.

We suspect that professionals and forward-looking gamers will be most interested in quad-core chips, and of the pros, the digital-media editors might not want to get rid of their Mac Pro's just yet. And if you're still stuck doing only one thing at a time on your desktop, the QX6700's promise for single-application performance is large, as well. Don't let the "Core 2" fool you (great job, Intel Product Naming department), this new chip has four physical processing cores in it that make it a multitasking beast.

Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Additionally, IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough) is supported, so that guest virtual machines may directly use host hardware. Hardware virtualization is available on the Core i5-2400, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. This processor features the Intel HD 2000 integrated graphics solution. For communication with other components in the machine, Core i5-2400 uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. Intel's processor supports DDR3 memory with adual-channel interface. With a TDP of 95 W, the Core i5-2400 consumes a good deal of power, so decent cooling is needed. The multiplier is locked on Core i5-2400, which limits its overclocking potential. Intel is making the Core i5-2400 on a 32 nm production node using 1,160 million transistors. Core i5-2400 has 6MB of 元 cache and operates at 3.1 GHz by default, but can boost up to 3.4 GHz, depending on the workload. It is part of the Core i5 lineup, using the Sandy Bridge architecture with Socket 1155. The Intel Core i5-2400 was a desktop processor with 4 cores, launched in January 2011.
