VoodooPC, the manufacturer of high-end personalized gaming PCs, announced today that it will be upgrading its flagship OMEN gaming PC to include the Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core CPU.
This is hardly a surprising move, as chief competitors Alienware and Dell’s XPS line will of course also be jumping aboard the quad-core ship for their highest end gaming systems. The subject of the excitement, the Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800, is the first consumer quad-core CPU to launch.
In highly-threaded applications, the CPU has been initially tested as much as 70% faster than the previously highest-end Core 2 Extreme dual-core. As the most processor hungry PC games are patched to make use of the potential for more threading, gamers should expect some impressive performance gains from new quad-core CPUs from Intel, and soon, AMD.
The VoodooPC OMEN Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad Core will sport a water cooling system that will chill the CPU, GPUs, and motherboard chipsets. Gamers will be offered pre-overclocked graphics cards from either nVidia or ATi, and a variety of motherboard choices. The new top flight OMEN will become available for purchase on November 14, 2006.
