VERDICT:It hasn’t been a month since our processor shootout, and Intel has fired yet another salvo—the QX9650—a top rung, quad core processor based on the 45 nm manufacturing process, which is the key differentiator between the QX6850 and the QX9650—the former is built on the 65 nm process.In games such as Doom 3, Far Cry and Company of Heroes, we see a definite increase in performance by 10 to 15 per cent. 3D Mark and PC Mark also show perceivable performance differences. We’ve got to say there is definite performance improvement across the board.
