QX9775 vs. QX9770  Because our QX9775 processors are similar to
the LGA775 equivalent, the QX9770, I thought it would be
interesting to pit the two against each other directly, using
specific multi-threaded benchmarks, including a few that Intel
recommended for inclusion.  Both processors include a 3.2GHz
clock speed, 12MB of L2 cache, a 1600FSB and include SSE4
support. The main differences are the TDP’s, with the QX9770
having one of 136W, while the QX9775 has one of 150W. That
difference won’t effect anything performance wise though. Both
processors were run with the same 1.3v voltage, just on
different motherboards.  First, I ran a variety of multi-
threaded benchmarks on each system, to see what differences can
be seen. Cinebench was re-run here under Windows Vista 64-Bit
(as opposed to Windows XP earlier in the review), TMPGEnc
Express, ProShow Gold, Microsoft Excel, 3DMark 2006
