Although in high-performance desktop, Intel has no competitors, the company continues to further develop this area. Confirmation of these words is the recent announcement of a new generation of processors Intel Ivy Bridge-E platform for Socket LGA2011. ...
Intel's Core i7-4960X (and Ivy Bridge-E in general) is easy to sum-up, but not for the greatest of reasons. I'd love to be able to write that IV-E is a major improvement over SB-E, but it isn't. I'd like to say that it dominates the Haswell-based Core i...
When I first got my hands on the 3960X back at its launch I was blown away by its performance. Moving on to the 3970X Intel once again kicked things up a notch. Now today with the i7-4960X they have once again upped their game. The 4960X topped the cha...

Slight performance bump and better efficiency for the same price. DDR31866 and PCI Express 3.0 support.
Ancient, featureless platform not worthy of extreme/enthusiastlevel CPU. Small jump on features and performance.
Those of you looking out for the overclocking section of this review will have noticed there wasn't one. Admitedly there was a narrow time frame to get this review complete by the launch date, however when we tried to overclock the i7-4960X we had very li...
Uber Fast, More Power Efficient Than Its Predecessor, Fits In Existing Socket
Not Much Faster Than SBE, Pricey, Haswell Offers Better Single Thread Performance, No Support On Intel X79 motherboards
Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition Packaging - Intel Core i7 Processors at AmazonIn the conclusion of our original Ivy Bridge launch article, we said, “Ivy Bridge does not feature a brand-new microarchitecture designed to obliterate the previous generation. Ra...
