Just like the QX9650 and QX9770 the 45nm products are the ones to aim for if you're considering and Intel upgrade, however unlike the Extreme Edition CPUs, the Wolfdales are *affordable*. In fact, every CPU featured was affordable, the only exception is the Q6700 at £311.
If you're heavily into multi-threaded applications or serious multi-tasking, then a quad-core processor will offer a greater performance and space to breath. If you're a gamer though, a high clocked dual-core with plenty of memory bandwidth is certainly the way to go - the Wolfdales will oblige in every aspect.
