    Isn't the QX9650 a gaming platform :confused: Or are they trying to test the market with the highest end quad core processor first.
    As I remember the quad cores AMD is going to release, have only 6Mb of L2 cache. Also they have not implemented the 45nm production process.

    They don't categorize it as a gaming CPU. It's just a multiplier unlocked CPU.

    It is the same thing as with VGA cards. They release the enthusiast GPUs a long time before the mainstream and budget ones. People who have the money will definitely buy it, instead of a lower speed model and overclock it :D

    It doesn't matter how they implemented it, as long as they perform well. Core 2 Quads are work!

    Halo 3 is not available for PC. They will have to bundle an Xbox360 too :P

    Oh! I need to pay attention about gaming consoles. :bangs head on keyboard:

    A bundled XBox + Halo3 will give the best worth for the $999 the poor gamer has to pay. :lol:
