Intel CPU Core i7 860 LGA 1156 Review

I really think that sometimes we see an innovation in technology that changes the whole way we do business. These times are rare. The Core i7 860 LGA 1156 has several. Often we think that if we just buy the box with the biggest numbers on it it will be the best, but that can be deceiving....

The Intel CPU Core i7 950, all new, but more of the same

The advent of the Intel Core i7 950 is a first ever for a CPU, namely by using doubled reference frequency (266MHz steps) to jump over the 3 GHz threshold by default ahead and beyond the 930 at 2.8. While there are higher end CPUs that you would expect to have a higher Hz rating than the Intel Core i7 950, but due to the heat restrictions of the processor framework, they have not achieved these higher limits without The Xeon Intel CPU is such a chip set. While the CPU might be more than capable of operating at a higher rate, the TDP will not allow it....

The Intel CPU Core i7 920 - Why pay more for less? Because it might just make cents

The Intel CPU Core i7 920 may be the lowest priced in the i7 line of computer processors, it nonetheless was able to put out some pretty impressive scores at a default configuration. With a GHz setting of 2.66 and DDR3 1066 memory to back it up, the Intel CPU Core i7 920 was able to easily smash the AMD Phenom in benchmark comparison, and while not beating it outright, comparing it to a Core i7 965 Extreme just for giggles had us resorting to a stunned stare. For an Intel Processor 1/3 of the price of the 965 Extreme, it compared favorably well, well enough to make us reconsider the actual worth of its overclocked cousin....

The Intel CPU Core i7 940 - Saving us the trouble of overclocking

A lot of tech reviews give you a quick listing of all of the specs, and then head off to the testing bench for bragging rights. The story of the Intel CPU review for their Core i7 940 Quad processor would seem no different, but for one point. There is no need to list the specs if you are familiar with the Intel CPU Core i7 920. I just tell you to change the multiplier on it from 20x133Mhz to 22x133Mhz. Now back in the day, if I were to post this to my blog, you could always shout back that to do this would void my Intel CPU Core i7 920 warranty. This time is different....

Is the Intel CPU core i7 870 worth it? I would say yes

The Intel CPU core i7 870 is a Lynnfield in a family of Nehalems. The Nehalem architecture used for other i7 CPUs has several differences that the current chip at hand. The previous i7s were based on a fast 3 channel memory scheme and a different socket, derived to bring the performance of a workstation to the desktop market. Designed to take advantage of Hyperthreading and the 3 channels of memory, the scheme is more complex than found in most desktop chips, and thus costs more to develop and produce....

The Intel Core i7-996 Extreme Edition CPU review - Pay per Thrill Superiority

Lets say you have $1000+ to spend on a new processor. Let's say that you want the fastest system that is available on the market. Let's say that the Intel Core i seven -996 Extreme Edition CPU is exactly what you need, because it is. Sharing the same Lynnfield architecture technology that supports other Intel I sevens (870 and above), this monster was built for speed and power. Though there is a requirement for a new and rather expensive motherboard to be compatible with the new 996, and if you're a gamer, the reemergence of hyperthreading technology might not make all that much difference to you, but the ability to use one the best CPU for the new X58 graphics agnostic motherboards make it a value for investment. When you're speaking the best of the best,if your PC is centered around the Intel core I 7 996 Extreme Edition CPU, you will of already have achieved it....
