Abstract: Benchmarking 86 CPUs takes a while. After long last, though, we have 51 models from AMD and 35 from Intel tested in our current suite. If you want to know how your processor sizes up to its competition, you'll find plenty of comparison data inside! 86 C...
Abstract: Quadcore Ivy Bridge processors have gained much popularity, so it's high time we took a good look at those lineups. All the more, entry-level models spark buyer's interest for two reasons. First, they are cheaper, allowing you to save as much as 35-50 ...
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...
Abstract: Today we shall focus on Intel Core i7 processors, in particular those outperforming Core i7-880. Firstly, we need to retest them with our new test method. Secondly, the new LGA2011 platform is to be announced very soon, and we'll need these test result...
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...
Abstract: Our previous review was dedicated to the Core i7-800 LGA1156 series. The conclusion was that those solutions, as well as the Core i7-900 LGA1366 series, can offer enough computing power for most tasks you may need accomplished. At least four cores and ...
Abstract: As you well know, Intel Core i7-900 processors for the LGA1366 socket are not the only Core i7 products in the market. Lynnfield-based solutions for the LGA1156 socket have been selling for over a year now in the mainstream segment, and far better at t...
Abstract: Recently we have begun to publish a series of reviews with the results of a comprehensive test of modern CPUs we did in our test labs. Right now you can read two articles on that topic: CPU Benchmark, Part 1: Value Processors CPU Benchmark, Part 2: Mai...

None that I found
I can clearly say that the test results were not what I had expected. I had assumed that the i7 920 would beat the i7 860 in most if not all tests, partially due to the triple channel memory, but mostly due to the fact that the i7 860 is intended to b...
Abstract: Last week Intel introduced its highly anticipated Lynnfield processors under the Core i5 and Core i7 brands. Three chips emerged: We tested exclusively with the Core i7 870 and the Core i5 750, the 860 didn't arrive in my lab until after the review we...
