Price
Yet another motherboard upgrade (sigh....)
Requires Expensive LGA 1366 Motherboard Hardware
Triple Channel Memory Configuration Necessary For Best Performance
None
A new X58 based motherboard will be required
New power efficient memory will likely be required
Really good performance, Hyperthreading, Around 4Ghz overclockable, Good price/performance ratio for the CPU
Expensive system wide parts to upgrade, Runs hot
Throughout these benchmarks, the AMD Phenom II 955 just hasn’t been able to keep up with the i7 920. But AMD know this and it’s not intended to be the i7 920’s rival as the 955 is priced £60 less than the i7 920. (in fact even the Q...
Quality quadcore performance: works well with audio, video, 3D applications, Large improvement over the previous series, Does well even with nonoptimized software, Low power consumption when idle
Power consumption is high when processor is active
Abstract: The graphs show the new range of Core i7 CPUs in direct comparison to what was previously the fastest processor in the world, the Core 2 Extreme QX9770. Our testing proves conclusively that Core i7 is significantly faster clock for clock than any othe...
Abstract: Just as Intel’s Core 2 has firmly established itself in the market, it is already being replaced by a completely new architecture. Unlike the switch from the Pentium 4 / Pentium D to the Core2—where the new CPUs worked as drop-in replacements on existi...
Abstract: Its not often we see an entirely new processor architecture. However, Intels new Core i7 range, which until recently was referred to by its Nehalem codename, has some intriguing differences to the current Core 2 line-up. Most remarkably, Intel has...
Abstract: In the previous issue, we tested and reviewed the Intel core i7 965 Extreme processor, which was based on the new Nehalem microarchitecture, managed to amaze us with its unbelievable performance. The significant design changes in the processor and the...
Lets talk about the Extreme Edition first. When we look at everyday usage applications, the new Core i7 965 EE from Intel is reasonably fast. Sure, there are a couple of benchmarks where the identically clocked 3.2Ghz Core 2 Extreme 9850 is a bit faste...
Anteriormente probamos un Core i7 940 y Core i7 975, pero en esta ocasion nos ha tocado probar al mas pequeño de los Core i7 el 920.Esta claro que no se obtuvieron los resultados de sus hermanos mayores, pero si conseguimos unos muy buenos resultados...
Es ley de vida. Los Core2 empiezan a tocar fondo con una plataforma que a lo largo de su evolución ha proporcionado a todos los usuarios además de un fabuloso rendimiento, una eficiencia incomparable y un nivel de flexibilidad jamás visto, clara muestr...
