Obviously, the Core i7-3960X is the new top dog in the desktop CPU performance sweeps, as a look at our value plot will show. Although it's still not a great value, the 3960X provides a solid incremental improvement over the Core i7-990X in our overall p...

If you're looking for the fastest consumer CPU in the world, the Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition is unquestionably it. But a few caveats may give pause to all but the most rabid enthusiasts. ...
Intel's latest CPU is an impressive device. With almost twice the available memory bandwidth as the 980X you should see a nice improvement in almost any application you run. No, this will not translate into gaming (for the most part) but then again if you...
It's always interesting to get hands-on time with unreleased hardware. We were recently able to benchmark Intel's upcoming Core i7-3960X CPU, comparing it to Core i7-990X, Core i7-2600K, and AMD's Phenom II X6. Will you be in line for Sandy Bridge-E? T...
