November 12 will see Intel release its first 45nm-built desktop processor, the $999-tagged QX9650, an Extreme-branded quad-core CPU clocked at 3.0 GHz and running with a 1333 MHz bus. Just two months after this CPU releases Intel will have a new high-end chipset, the X48, and since this one will 'officially' support' the 1600 MHz FSB, Intel will release a new Extreme processor to go with it.

The QX9770 will be clocked at 3.2 Ghz, will have that 1600 FSB, 12 MB of L2 cache and will come with a price tag of $1399. The QX9770's release date is Q1 2008.
