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.
Very expensive, Not compatible with previous LGA2011 sockets, Doesn't work with DDR3 RAM
The Intel Core i7-5960X pushes the bleeding edge of desktop performance forward. In our tests, we found it to be up to 43 percent quicker than the six-core 4960X, Intel's previous Extreme Edition chip, and up to 77 percent faster than the 4770K quad-cor...
The Ivy Bridge-E launch (almost exactly one year ago) was disappointing for a number of reasons. Not only did the Core i7-4960X offer little beyond what we were already getting from -3970X, but it had the gall to surface three months after Intel started s...
we can say, that if you want the best of the best regarding CPU, platform as well as memory then Intel's new HaswellE should definitely be considered and it's especially multithreaded applications that will benefit the most from this new platform...
IntroductionToday, we're reviewing a new beast in Intel's extreme line of CPUs, the i7 5960X. Excluding all server related CPUs, this should be the first real 8 core CPU for desktops. Due to the active hyperthreading technology, this chip offers 16 thread...
The processor retails at around RM 3600, which is a price beyond the reach of most people but what you do get is outstanding performance, especially when paired with boards with Intel's X99 chipset and couple it with DDR4 RAM.If you are a gamer then this...
