Reviews of the Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800

CNET Review
The Good: Fastest desktop CPU on the market; unlocked clock multiplier makes overclocking possible out of the box.
The Bad: Chipset politics between Intel and graphics card vendors hurts gamers who now have to pick an Intel board for ATI's Crossfire or an Nvidia board for SLI cards.
The Bottom Line: AMD's Athlon 64 FX line has worn the desktop CPU performance crown for over a year. The king is dead. Intel's new flagship Core 2 Extreme X6800 not only hands AMD a defeat on all of our benchmarks, but it's also a more efficient, better designed chip overall.
