Abstract: The CPU landscape is really complex. Both AMD and Intel offer tons of different models. But how would today’s processors perform if they didn't ......
All Pages Page 1 of 15Intel started 2011 off with the official introduction to their highly anticipated Sandy Bridge processors. We had the chance to take a look at their mid-range i5-2500k and we loved it. The i5-2500k isn’t perfect for everyone, tha...
Abstract: The general conclusion is a bit banal: Sandy Bridge is much better than the previous core. Not as much as Core 2 (Conroe) was better than Pentium 4, but it's still a larger step forward in terms of architecture than Nehalem compared with the..
Strong overall computing performance for the price. Good media-processing capabilities. Unlocked multiplier for simplified overclocking.
Does not support Hyper-Threading. Onboard video lacks DirectX 11 support, power of discrete video cards. Requires new motherboard.
The Intel Core i5-2500K offers exceptional value and impressive Sandy Bridge–based performance, but you can (and should) do better than this CPU's integrated graphics. Buy it now...

Overall, this is a big win for Intel. The new processors are faster and offer lower processing power than their Lynnfield counterparts and those are positive developments in the server space. Processors like the Xeon E3-1260L will be very popular in the u...
Abstract: It was exciting this week to finally see Intel's Sandy Bridge platform work under Linux with OpenGL acceleration without any problems, but it was even more exciting to see just how fast the Core i5 2500K graphics were under Linux using an open-source M...
Abstract: The long awaited and much anticipated Sandy Bridge architecture from Intel hit the ground running at CES just 2 weeks ago. This architecture promises better overall performance, the latest version of Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, and great overcl...
Abstract: Lastly, with the usual Apache web-server benchmark, the Core i5 2500K performance was in front of the Core i7 970 by 36%. There is no doubt about it: Intel's Sandy Bridge is fast. In fact, it is damn fast. The Core i5 2500K retails for just over $220 ...
Abstract: With Sandy Bridge, Intel has set new standards in both performance and power consumption. Not only is the new hardware faster and more efficient, it is also not that expensive. These LGA1155 chips obliterate their comparably priced competition, with the Core i5-2400 and i5-2500K offering the best overall value. The i7-2600K offers a slight clock speed bump and Hyper-threading, but with most applications, the performance boost is generally not worth the US$100 extra over the i5-2500K. However as premium Intel processors go..
Great performance, 1.2GHz overclock, Overclocking is made easy with a P67 motherboard, 95W TDP and low CPU temperatures
Cannot be overclocked on a H67 motherboard, Consumers need to buy a new motherboard on top of purchasing the CPU
The long awaited Sandy Bridge architecture is here and I really think that it was worth the wait. Intel is very excited about this new line of processors and they want you to be too. It is always great to see companies improve on existing products an...
