  • Most powerful consumer CPU available
  • As of late summer 2014
  • Massive performance with highly threaded workloads
  • Our review chip overclocked well
  • Epic 8 core – 16 thread computing
  • Improved thermal design works!
  • Overclockable up to 4.6 GHz (so far)
  • Best of class performance
  • 8 cores
  •  best performance
  • Very low temp
  • Excellent overclocking
  • A new level of performance in a “consumer” CPU
  • Easily overclockable processor
  • 48 (total) PCIE lanes as compared to the 24 lanes of an LGA1150 system
  • First use of DDR4 memory
  • 8 cores and 16 threads
  • Unlocked base clock multiplier
  • Easy and impressive overclocking
  • Runs cooler than other chips
  • Brings DDR4 to the consumer level
  • With eight cores
  • A 20MB L3 cache
  • 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes
  • DDR4 support
  • Decent overclocking and Intel's new X99 chipset
  • The Core i75960X is destined for dream machines.

The editors didn't like

  • Expensive. Stock clock speed is lower than previous-generation Extreme Edition chip. Not compatible with previous-gen Socket 2011 motherboards or DDR3 RAM. Less powerful chips with higher clock speeds perform better on tasks that aren't heavily threaded
  • Decreased Frequency Compared to Core i7 4960X
  • DDR4 Memory Still in Infancy
  • Pricey
  • Relatively Low Clocks
  • Lower Single Thread Perf In Some Tests
  • As ever with Extreme Edition chips
  • Lower stock clock speed than previous-generation Extreme Edition chip
  • Not compatible with previous-gen Socket 2011 motherboards or DDR3 RAM
  • Lesser chips with higher clock speeds perform better on tasks that ar
  • Premium performance at a premium cost
  • Price
  • Very
  • Very expensive for a desktop CPU
  • Requires new X99 motherboard and new DDR4 memory
  • Singlecore performance lags behind that of much less expensive 4790K
  • No CPU cooler included
  • None that I found
  • It doesn't offer much of an advantage over mainstream chips for gaming and in scenarios where there is a solid speed boost
  • At $1
  • 050 you'll be paying a largely disproportionate premium for it.

  • Abstract:  Δεν πάει πολύς καιρός, κοντά στην άνοιξη θυμάμαι, που τα σενάρια δίνανε και παίρνανε για φθηνούς 6-πύρηνους επεξεργαστές αλλά και για τον πρώτο 8-πύρηνο επεξεργαστή απο πλευράς Intel στην επερχόμενη high end desktop πλατφόρμα. Πολυπύρηνοι επεξεργαστές υπή...

  • Abstract:  The story so far... Σχεδόν κάθε χρόνο έχουμε και από μια νέα γενιά επεξεργαστών, τόσο από την AMD όσο και την Intel. Η δεύτερη, δε, είναι αυτή που έχοντας το μεγαλύτερο μερίδιο στην αγορά αναπόφευκτα έχει και τον έλεγχο των εξελίξεων, ενώ η δύναμή της τόσ...

  • Višenitne preformanse, odličan odnos performansi i potrošnje, overclocking potencijal i porast performansi kod OC-a
  • Uvjetno rečeno cijena, IPC performanse nisu rasle

  • Jak jste asi pochopili, tento přehled je udělaný hlavně s ohledem na příchod nových CPU, tak abychom si je rovnou zařadili a byli na ně v redakci připraveni. První novinky už testujeme, takže brzy budeme mít první recenzi jedné z nich. Přehled je ale jina...

  • Intel X99 je bezkonkurenčně nejlepší platforma na trhu. 6jádrové Intel Core i7-5820K je skvělý základ za ještě ne vyloženě přehnaně šílenou cenu, vzhledem k tomu co nabízí, a budete mít možnost případně váš X99 počítač rozšířit v budoucnu o ještě výkonněj...

  • vynikající výkon, snadný overclocking, výborná spotřeba, technologická vybavenost celé platformy
  • extrémní cena, platformu (zatím) prodražují DDR4 paměti
  • AMD za zhruba pětinovou cenu nabídne zhruba poloviční výkon, o více než 100 W vyšší spotřebu a zastaralou platformu s PCI Express 2.0. Jestli ze z hlediska nákladů na energie vyplatí investovat spíše do Intelu, nebo AMD, zcela závisí na tom, za kolik Kč m...

  • Abstract:  Na Haswell-E jsme čekali už dlouho. Konečně je tu. Jde o první osmijádrový čip pro stolní PC od Intelu, který jako první přichází s podporou DDR4, nabízí odemčený násobič a slušný potenciál k taktování. Cena zůstala na extrémních 999 dolarech. Prozkoumejt...
