Outstanding all-around performance compared to Intel?s most powerful chip. Unlocked multiplier for easier overclocking.
Expensive. Requires X79 Express motherboard, video card, cooler
For all but the most rabid enthusiasts, Intel?s Core i7-3930K processor represents an unparalleled combination of price and performance for use on the X79 Express platform....
As expected, given its spec, the Core i7-3930K makes the Core i7-3960X entirely dispensable. Why spend an extra €350 or €400 for such a small gain in performance (between 4 and 5%)?The Core i7-3930K is therefore a choice cut for anyone looking for a ve...
So the Intel Core i7-3930K. Following exhaustive and extensive testing we only have one question uppermost in our mind.Who on earth would bother to buy the i7-3960X?When we tested the i7-3960X it was a quantum leap ahead in all of our CPU based results an...
Abstract: The new LGA 2011 platform for enthusiasts didn’t really impress us that much at launch. Of course, it was not worse than the previous LGA 1366 and LGA 1155 platforms, but it still couldn’t be called a real break-through revolutionary product, to be hon...
Abstract: This time we'd like to offer you the summarized test results of as many as 71 processors. This generally marks the end of the year, not the end of another test method's life cycle (like the last time). We believe this summary contains all important pro...
Even with pricing considerations to take into account, the Core i7-3930K will likely become the processor of choice for high-end PC enthusiasts simply because it currently offers the best platform (Sandy Bridge-E + X79) for the lowest price (compared to t...
Abstract: In 2011, we expected to see three major events: Intel LGA 1155 in the beginning, AMD Bulldozer in the middle and Intel LGA 2011 closer to the end. The first happened as planned (quad-core processors for LGA 1155 arrived in January, with dual-core model...
While we don't want to give the impression that the i7-3930K is a slow CPU for consumer applications and games, it isn't significantly faster than the Core i7-2600K. This is a problem for Intel, as the i7-3930K is almost exactly double the price; LGA20...
Abstract: Just recently it seemed that the upcoming launch of the new LGA 2011 platform will be Intel’s response to AMD Bulldozer. But reality proved expectations like that to be wrong: AMD developers failed to produce microarchitecture fir for a high-performanc...
Abstract: Let's show the basic specs of all Core i7 processors released to date in a series of quick-reference tables. The Core i7 was the first Intel processor to bring an integrated memory controller, feature available on AMD processors since the Athlon 64. In...
