LGA 1156 technology has completely eliminated the NB
Making motherboards cooler and cheaper
Sub$300 release price
Easily attained a 40% overclock and showed significant performance gains
Performance not that far behind the LGA 1366 i7 920
Last week I gave the Core i7/i5 line of Lynnfield processors our Editors Choice award and I still feel that these CPUs, with their improved power efficiency, overclocking headroom and lower price, deserve the recognition. I set out in this article t...
So, the new platform has been launched. Is it successful? Yes, more than somewhat. If Core i7 for LGA1366 hadnt spoiled the triumph, we could have compared this situation with the transition from NetBurst to Core 2: when new Mid-End processors were f...
Abstract: Looking back, quad-core processors have had quite the run already. Intel's first quad-core CPU, the Core 2 Extreme QX6700 was released almost three years ago, with the much more popular Q6600 following up months later at a rather steep $850. As you may...
on INTEL’s Lynnfield If there were any doubts or initial skepticism of Lynnfield’s performance, clearly those doubts are erased today! Both Hyper and non-Hyperthreaded versions of Lynnfield are super strong performers when it comes to task intensive P...

The Lynnfield chips combination of price, performance, and power efficiency effectively clears the field in the desktop CPU market, leaving little room for competition from the Phenom II or older, cheaper Core 2 Quad processors—or even faster, prici...
Abstract: Our shiny star of the day however will be the Core i7 860. Priced just under 300 USD and with Hyper Threading this truly is a gem of a processor. We have no doubt that you'll love it to the end of time
Abstract: Intel has created an odd position for its new Lynnfield CPUs by releasing them eight months after the high-performance LGA1366 platform. On the one hand, it's great to see that Intel has finally produced a quad-core CPU that can hold its own against the best dual-core CPUs in games. This means that at long last
Abstract: If you look at HyperThreading in terms of dollars, the Core i7-860 is showing to sell for about $85 more than the Core i5-750. That $85 will get you a bit better performance in highly threaded applications that take
It is interesting to note that in this article we featured three new processors, being the Phenom II X4 965, Core i5 750 and Core i7 860, all of which cost less than $300 US and are able to outperform the Core 2 Quad Q9650. Now when you consider the fa...
