Intel: First Quad-Core CPU in November

Intel has officially announced the name of its first Quad-Core CPU for customer market: Core 2 Extreme QX6700, featuring 2 dual-core Conroe clocked at 2.66GHz on the same die. Its price will of course be very high US$999, and it should be available in November.
One will have to wait 2007 for additional Quad-Core CPU (and lower price).
For sure the Mac community will have to adapt and understand this relatively fast turn over of CPU. But one should also not forget that we have gain the possibility in most cases to exchange the CPU of our MacIntel. In addition real performance jump are seen only when moving from one CPU series to another, having 2.0 instead of 2.16GHz Core 2 Merom does not represent a big performance improvement.
But developers will have to adapt their software to benefit from multicore CPU, otherwise many cores will simply be not used in most cases.
