With four cores churning out clock speeds of 3.2GHz, the QX9770 brings unprecedented multitasking capabilities to Alienware desktops already known for pushing the outer limits of computer performance.
Intel built the QX9770 around the 45nm microarchitecture and its dynamic thermal management solutions. This makes the Area-51 the most robust gaming platform ever offered by Alienware. Whether users take on next-generation games, 3D and video rendering or day-to-day productivity applications, the Area-51 delivers with power to spare. A 1600MHz Front Side Bus allows for faster read/write speeds between the processor and memory and any PCI-Express devices. Combine a QX9770 CPU with the new NVIDIA® nForce® 790i motherboard, with support for both DDR3 memory and PCI-E 2.0, and the new Area-51 desktop speeds past not only the competition, but all expectations, as well.
