i7-875KIt's a curious set of results that aren't too easy to read much into. Some tests it came out looking very good at stock speeds, and others it really struggled with.The thing that makes this hardest to understand is that to all intents and purpos...
It’s nice to see some unlocked processors coming from Intel again that don’t carry the Extreme Edition price tag. The $220 Core i5-655K and $190 Core i5-650 are currently about $30 different between price tags which we feel is well worth the extra co...
Interesting... that's what this release of the K processors is. As stated in our introduction, there is quite a market for unlocked processors. See, recently Intel promised to start selling chips with unlocked multipliers that do not cost $1000 per un...
Performance and Overclockability I have pretty much made the case already but it bears repeating: the default performance of the new Core i7-875K and Core i5-655K fall right in line with the competing parts currently existing in Intel’s own product l...
Abstract: I'm sure Intel will be releasing more K models in the future, and when it does, there's little doubt each will hold a fair premium. Whether or not that premium is worth it again boils down to how much you value overclocking. If you're like me, and simply find a quick overclock and stick with it, then Intel's standard models are fine. If you're the type..

Like I said, it's good to be king. Intel has calibrated its response to the Phenom II X6 quite carefully, and the result is a clean sweep. At stock clock speeds, the Core i7-875K is a better performer than the Phenom II X6 1090T—just a little bit in mu...
Abstract: No doubt about it: Intel is offering a spectacular deal with the Core i7-875K—even if you're not interested in overclocking. Price drops this direct and rapid are rare, and this one gives you about as much power—and potential—as you can find in any LGA1156 processor..
Abstract: But despite the excellent scaling you get from the company’s more advanced manufacturing technology, AMD’s Black Edition parts still come across as better values for the money, even when you overclock both parties involved to the limits of stability. With a slight massage to each model's price point, though, this story could easily..
Abstract: When it comes to Intel processors, the word “unlocked” is not synonymous with low-priced mainstream products - it’s a feature normally reserved for flagship ‘Extreme Edition’ CPUs that bear higher price tags. Things are set to change today because Int...
Intel Core i7-875K: Unlocked multiplier for simplified overclocking. Costs a lot less than similar, locked CPU.Intel Core i5-655K: Unlocked multiplier for simplified overclocking.
Intel Core i7-875K: Aside from the multiplier, no other change in features from the Core i7-870.Intel Core i5-655K: Functionally identical to Core i5-650. System builders may not want to pay $40 more for overclocking privileges with only a dual-core chip.
If you're really into overclocking, you might like the extra opportunity afforded by the unlocked multiplier on the Core i5-655K. The Core i7-875K is a terrific deal for enthusiasts who like swimming in the mainstream. Buy it now...
