Chip giant Intel Tuesday
launched its latest processor platform aimed at computer game enthusiasts, an
eight processing-core platform that includes a choice of multi-card graphics
from either ATI or Nvidia.The new platform, formerly code-named "Skulltrail," is now being introduced as the Intel Dual Socket Extreme Desktop Platform. It includes two quad-core microprocessors for a total of eight-processing engines and is aimed at desktop PCs. A single quad-core processor, the Intel Core 2 Extreme processor QX9975, costs US$1,499, while the mainboard developed for the system, the Intel Desktop Board D5400XS, runs at $649. So, a user willing to pay for two of the quad-core processors would pony up $2,998 for the processors alone, a total of $3,647 for the two processors and mainboard together, and would then still have the choice of buying multiple graphics cards - not to mention the rest of the PC and peripherals. |
