Intels new Lynnfield Core i7 and Core i5 processors werent intended to win overall performance crowns, but they came closer than many expected them to in our testing. Lynnfield indeed brings the features and performance of the Nehalem architecture ...

The Lynnfield chips combination of price, performance, and power efficiency effectively clears the field in the desktop CPU market, leaving little room for competition from the Phenom II or older, cheaper Core 2 Quad processors—or even faster, prici...
Abstract: Intel is on the verge of transitioning to 32nm. We'll see the first parts this year. What do you do with your 45nm fabs when you start moving volume away from them? Make really cheap quad-core Nehalems of course:I'm talking $196. I'm talking faster th...
Abstract: So there you have it: The Lynnfield series processors come very much recommended. The Core i5 750 and Core i7 870 come very much recommended, but that Core i7 860 makes the most sense price performance wise.
Abstract: Intel has created an odd position for its new Lynnfield CPUs by releasing them eight months after the high-performance LGA1366 platform.

I’ll be honest—when I first got my hands on a pre-production Core i5 three months ago, the processor took me by surprise, even with an artificial cap of 2.8 GHz on its Turbo Boost functionality. That was before final specs or pricing was avail...
The Core i7-870 represents the best Lynnfield currently has to offer. Needless to say, my expectations were quite high. When it comes to performance, though Intel delivered. The i7-870 consistently topped the charts, even outpacing the Core i7-920 in ...
It is interesting to note that in this article we featured three new processors, being the Phenom II X4 965, Core i5 750 and Core i7 860, all of which cost less than $300 US and are able to outperform the Core 2 Quad Q9650. Now when you consider the fa...
All in all, LGA1156 platform makes a very good impression. And although it is evident that Intel’s main goal with the new Lynnfield family launch is the transfer of Nehalem microarchitecture to the mainstream price segment, we often got the feeling...
