True Quad Core, Fastest Desktop Performer, Insane Memory Bandwidth, Fair CPU Pricing, Some Overclocking Headroom
New CPU Socket, Added Platform Expenses, DDR3 Voltage Limit
The Intel Core i7 introduction is a very successful one, but it also comes with a few challenges to be aware of. The performance side is a huge positive for the new platform, and the combination a true multi-core architecture, an integrated memory con...
Intels new Core i7 series of processors is a modern marvel of technology that brings previously inaccessible performance to the consumer. In areas where multi-threaded applications are dominant, heavy multi-tasking is the norm or multimedia encoding...
Abstract: Its hard to recall a more anticipated CPU release than the Core i7, the desktop CPU which will be available in a few weeks, based on the microarchitecture codenamed Nehalem that is being launched today. As soon as Intel began releasing bits of info...
Great Performance, Overclocks Really Well, Kicked the Q6600 To The Curb, Reasonable Temps, Reasonable Price, Very Stable, Easy Overclocking, Much Higher Video Encoding Performance Than Previous CPUs, Fastest Quad On The Planet
Price
The Intel Core I7 965 Extreme with its unlocked multiplier is the fastest, most productive CPU weve ever had hands on. We can easily say its the fastest Quad on the planet and will be the new standard for enthusiast overclockers. We pushed it to 3.97...
Abstract: Intel Core i7 (Nehalem) Performance PreviewIt’s been a little over two years since Intel introduced the world to their first Core 2 processors utilizing their next-generation Conroe microarchitecture. Based somewhat off their Pentium M “Y...
Abstract: If you are building/buying a new system, it would be foolish not to wait for the Core i7, especially the 920. It will outpace current processors by a good margin, within the same price range (Core 2 Extreme, Core Quad 9400), especially in compute or memory-bandwidth intensive applications (3D rendering, compression...)..
Extremely fast; self-overclocking feature; Hyper-Threading gives some of the advantages of eight-core processors
Requires new motherboard socket and chipset; won’t allow some older high-speed memory to run at full speed; requires three or six memory DIMMs for best performance
Core i7 is a remarkable CPU. Intel has really outdone itself on the Core series of CPU and not one has been a disappointment. Each time Intel has an iteration of it, there is more power and more features to surface.Core i7, while sharing the Core na...
10 per cent faster than the Core 2 Duo at the same clock speed, can process eight threads simultaneously, built-in memory controller, reliable for overclocking
Needs a new motherboard to run, requires three memory modules for optimal performance
If you’re in the market for a new high-end PC, it’s worth spending your cash on a platform based on the Core i7. This Extreme Edition CPU will also let you overclock it reliably, and allow you to get close to 4GHz while only using an air coole...
Australians currently paying twice the price of Americans, Requires an expensive new motherboard, Chipset needs three memory sticks for maximum efficiency
Thanks to an expensive new motherboard requirement and ridiculously stratospheric prices, Intels new Core i7 desktop processors will remain enthusiast and professional-level parts until more affordable hardware comes out later next year, and prices d...
