For gamers with a large bank balance who want a super-powered machine sitting on their desktop, Commodore has released what it claims is one of the first PCs to include Intel’s new Core 2 Extreme Desktop processor, nicknamed the Penryn.
The $5,600 Commodore Gaming XX PC, which includes the ultra powerful 3Ghz Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor, also features an impressive range of specifications. Bundled with the Windows Vista Ultimate operating system, there are two Nvidia 8800 Ultra graphics cards, 2Gb of memory and twin hard drives (2x 150Gb in size and the second offers 500Gb storage) among its lineup.
Sean Charles, Commodore Gaming marketing and PR manager, said: “We’re delighted to be one of the first gaming PC vendors to be utilising the new Penryn processor. It’s great kudos that the Commodore brand is back at the forefront of PC gaming and working so closely with Intel. The XX has always been about giving customers the very latest and cutting edge gaming components and the best gaming experience. The new Intel Extreme processor fits that bill perfectly. Bench testing has blown us all away, the XX always delivered a powerful punch, from next year it’s going to be even more of a beast.”
