Needs a new motherboard to run
Requires three memory modules for optimal performance
Australians currently paying twice the price of Americans
Requires an expensive new motherboard
Chipset needs three memory sticks for maximum efficiency
Starting with the basics, our general performance tests showed strong bandwidth gains when increasing the memory clock frequency. However, the WinRAR performance test and CINEBENCH seemed to find DDR3-1333 memory to be the sweet spot rather than the m...
Abstract: The Intel Core i7 is a new line of desktop processors based on the new Nehalem microarchitecture, which evolved from the Core microarchitecture which powered the highly successful Intel Core 2 line of microprocessors. Like its predecessors, the new Cor...
The fastest processor currently on the planet, All multipliers are completely unlocked both up and down, On die memory controller, Tri-channel DDR3 offers an average of 33% more memory bandwidth, Utilization of SMT (Hyperthreading) greatly enhances per...
Expensive $999.00 MSRP, A new X58 based motherboard will be required New power efficient DDR3 memory will likely be required
Well the day has finally arrived where the Intel Core series of processors arent just hype, rumor, and innuendo anymore. Much of the marketing hype that was circulating before these processors were sent out for review has proven to be true and their n...
Abstract: What About Increasing Memory Speed? In these tests, we used the Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition running at 3.2 GHz. All three memory channels were enabled. The L3 cache and memory speeds were set as follows : 1066 MHz RAM (7-7-7-20), L3 cache at 2.6 ...
Abstract: Perhaps you were expecting the next generation of Intel processors to come in a different package; maybe you were hoping for eight cores or something equally huge and were disappointed to see a quad-core clocked at a generous but not extraordinary 3.2G...
Abstract: Because the Core i7 isnt just a "Penryn" Core 2 Duo with some L3 and an integrated memory controller, the present review focuses primarily on measuring how well Nehalems performance scales in multithreaded workloads as compared to Penryn. If Intel hi...
The Key features of the new CPUs include the return of Intel's famous HyperThreading technology, meaning that the CPUs can work on 8 threads at the same time, double that of the Core 2 Quad CPUs that were the top of the line CPU in the previous generat...
Extremely Stable, Runs Exceptionally cool for an Extreme Edition Processor, Blisteringly fast, OnDie Memory Controller, Excellent Overclocking Potential (Stay Tuned)
Yet another motherboard upgrade (sigh....), Price is still expensive, Rather focused group of users that can take full advantage of it.
Intel's latest Extreme Edition processor release is not your usual bump in clock speed and a new number name tag. The new Nehalem technology is nothing less than a giant leap forward for Intel when there is no real competition in sight. You usually w...
Abstract: New Architecture with tricky settings You may have wondered why we did not pop up with the Core i7 review yesterday, but be assured we are testing it intensively. While the 45nm Core 2 Duos were just a evolutionary step, Nehalem is a new architecture...
