Core 2 Extreme QX6850 Review

Real-time pricing for Intel BX80562QX6850.
Intel Core 2 Extreme / 3 GHz processor QX6850
Office Depot: $1141.95

F.E.A.R.

F.E.A.R. is a heavy game and we used its internal benchmarking module. We upgraded it to version 1.08 and measured performance in two scenarios, both at 1600x1200 with “computer settings” at “maximum”. The first one, we called “low”, was with “graphics card” set at “low”, and the second one, we called “high”, was with “graphics card” set at “maximum”. Let’s take a look on the results, given in frames per second.

Core 2 Extreme QX6850

F.E.A.R. 1.08 - Low FPS Difference
Core 2 Extreme X6800 (2.93 GHz) 273 1.49%
Core 2 Extreme "QX6950" (3.33 GHz) 271 0.74%
Core 2 Duo E6700 (2.66 GHz) 269 0.00%
Core 2 Extreme QX6850 (3 GHz) 269  
Core 2 Duo E6750 (2.66 GHz) 267 0.75%
Core 2 Extreme QX6700 (2.66 GHz) 266 1.13%
Pentium 4 550 (3.4 GHz) 195 37.95%

On F.E.A.R. with image quality set to “low” all Core 2 CPUs achieved the same performance level, indicating that the video card is the component limiting the maximum performance you can achieve.

Core 2 Extreme QX6850

F.E.A.R. 1.08 - High FPS Difference
Core 2 Extreme QX6700 (2.66 GHz) 52 0.00%
Core 2 Duo E6700 (2.66 GHz) 52 0.00%
Core 2 Duo E6750 (2.66 GHz) 52 0.00%
Core 2 Extreme "QX6950" (3.33 GHz) 52 0.00%
Core 2 Extreme QX6850 (3 GHz) 52  
Pentium 4 550 (3.4 GHz) 51 1.96%
Core 2 Extreme X6800 (2.93 GHz) 50 4.00%
 
When we changed the image quality settings to “maximum” all CPUs achieved the same performance level, indicating that the video card is the one limiting the maximum performance you can achieve.
