Cons
Intel released a new i7 family for the LGA2011 platform, bringing the Ivy Bridge-E into the market. The three new CPUs come with some improvements over the old series.The i7-4960X offers a 9% increase in frequency over the i7-3960X, and gains an average o...
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...
As we said at the start, the LGA2011 range so far hasn't been the biggest success Intel have ever had. It's too expensive for the amount of performance that the average user will require. However, if you need extraordinary amounts of power for rendering...
Ivy Bridge E is in many ways the same old same old we have seen from Intel over the last few launches. Ultimately we can chalk this up to a lack of competition from AMD, so what we get is a good processor that is only slightly better than the previous...

The general feeling I come away from the Ivy Bridge-E is that it is a good processor, but nothing stellar when compared to the Sandy Bridge-E predecessor. Is it better? Yes. It is a whole lot better? No. Should you ditch your Sandy Bridge-E system for a s...

Abstract: Let's show the basic specs of all Core i7 processors released to date in a series of quick-reference tables. The Core i7 was the first Intel processor to bring an integrated memory controller, feature available on AMD processors since the Athlon 64. In...
Abstract: That the fastest processors are currently made by Intel is not really a secret, but what is the best choice when you want to spend up to £ 50, £100 or £150? To answer that question we conducted a megatest of 57 current AMD and Intel CPUs. From two to...
