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...
The Ivy Bridge-E launch (almost exactly one year ago) was disappointing for a number of reasons. Not only did the Core i7-4960X offer little beyond what we were already getting from -3970X, but it had the gall to surface three months after Intel started s...
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...
Very expensive, Not compatible with previous LGA2011 sockets, Doesn't work with DDR3 RAM
The Intel Core i7-5960X pushes the bleeding edge of desktop performance forward. In our tests, we found it to be up to 43 percent quicker than the six-core 4960X, Intel's previous Extreme Edition chip, and up to 77 percent faster than the 4770K quad-cor...
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...

Abstract: A Monster ProcessorLet's be clear on this, not many people are going to own this CPU. It's Intel's latest top-of-the-line consumer retail model, it is basically the Ferrari of CPUs; many will covet, but few will own it. Having said that, let's get this re...
Intel’s Haswell-E i7 5960X is a massively powerful processor and a fitting successor to the i7 4960X. It is fast, capable of tearing through multi-threaded workloads and doesn’t consume copious amounts of power. This is the Haswell architecture at its fin...
Multi threaded performance, Overclocking with eight cores, Eight cores, Thermal performance
Low base clock speed
It's good to finally have Intel refresh the Extreme line up and take that step up to an eight core processor to do it. There are distributed computing crunchers just salivating at the performance potential that comes along with the added four threads that...
IntroductionToday, we're reviewing a new beast in Intel's extreme line of CPUs, the i7 5960X. Excluding all server related CPUs, this should be the first real 8 core CPU for desktops. Due to the active hyperthreading technology, this chip offers 16 thread...
The processor retails at around RM 3600, which is a price beyond the reach of most people but what you do get is outstanding performance, especially when paired with boards with Intel's X99 chipset and couple it with DDR4 RAM.If you are a gamer then this...
