Intel has been busy sending out a batch of 'Penryn' Core 2 Extreme QX9770 processors to every tech site in the known universe, and if you take a look at some of the reviews that have popped up you’ll spot a common theme. The QX9770 is the first desktop processor to run on a 1600MHz frontside bus (FSB) but right now there are no desktop chipsets that support this new speed.
On the server side, Intel has 1600MHz covered with its 5400 series of Xeon chips and chipsets, but we’re in new territory on the desktop as the X38 chipset's FSB tops out at 1333MHz.
