The Intel Core i7-5960X is an astoundingly quick, relatively low-powered processor. It's beyond the financial reach of most of us, but we sure are glad this technology exists. It's surely only a matter of time before it trickles down....
Abstract: When Intel released their new Haswell-E CPUs, we decided to rework our CPU gaming performance articles. Meanwhile we're testing different resolutions and there are FullHD, 1440p as well as UHD on our list. This way you get a more detailed understanding of...
Today we've had a look at SLI scaling of two custom GTX 980 graphics cards from ASUS in combination with an Intel Core i75960X CPU, while driving the Intel CPU at default clock speeds Our scaling index page shows an average performance bump of 7223 percen...

Major performance improvements over the previous Extreme Edition, Significant overclocking potential, Overclocking rewards for both novices and experts, Improved feature set through the X99 Chipset, Same cooler mounting system as X79, Absolutely the fast
Platform Price, Tips, = Overclockers will see a benefit from premium cooling due to relatively high temperatures.
There's no doubting the awesome power of the high end Haswell-E, and you have no idea what a relief it is to say that. Marginal improvements across generations are fine, but nothing gets us as enthused as the sorts of huge leaps forward we see on display ...
With Haswell-E, Intel brings a long awaited refresh to the high-end platform. The fact that you can now purchase an 8-core CPU for desktop might appear to be the biggest news item, but it is the cheaper Core i7 5820K that we find to be the most interest...

Fastest consumer processor on the market, Eight hyperthreading cores deliver excellent multithreaded performance, Strong overclocking potential on all eight cores, Uses the latestandgreatest Haswell microarchitecture, Support for DDR4 memory, Huge multiGP
£760 for a CPU, Stiff competition from lowerpriced HaswellE chips, Needs to be overclocked to maintain competitiveness in singlethreaded workloads.
There's no other way to say it; Intel's Haswell-E Core i7 5960X is a technological masterpiece. It shows multi-core performance that is unparalleled on the consumer scene – not even the six-core flagship that preceded it can show any hint of keeping pace....
Abstract: Today Intel launched their new X99 chipset and Haswell-E CPUs. We took a look at those over here and to accompany that article we now look in a little more detail at the memory they support in our DDR4 Review. Our DDR4 samples for this round-up come from ...

Staggering performance, Solid thermals, Swanky new X99 platform – DDR4, more storage options, No price increase over Ivy Bridge-E
Limited overclocking headroom, Hefty TDP,
PricingAs we have mentioned Intel's Core i7 5960X has an MSRP of $999 just like its predecessors. Intel provide a three year warranty for retail versions and a one year warranty for OEM tray versions. The Core i7 5930K has a MSRP of $583 and the Core i7 5...
Abstract: One look at the Core i7-5960X’s specification, however, and you’re left with alternating feelings of excitement and indifference. On the one hand, the Core i7-5960X excites with its eight cores, 20MB of Level 3 cache and quad-channel DDR4 memory controlle...
As a prelude to our follow-up reviews for the other CPUs,which we're testing as we speak, we can say that they will certainly be better bets than the Core i7-5960X if you're main use for the system will be general tasks such as gaming, web browsing and li...
