Extremely expensive
Not a significant speed boost over the Core i7-965 Extreme Edition
At least the new 975 EE only costs than the 965 EE, so if you haven't already got a 965 EE, it's only a bit more expensive for the small amount of extra performance. If being at the top of benchmark leaderboards is important to you, you'll want a 975 ...
Is this a worthy upgrade? It’s pretty simple really. if you’re already a proud owner of an i7 965 Extreme Processor, There’s no need to rush out to buy a shiny new Core i7 975 (D0) unless you’re a user hell bent on the maximum performance available t...
Abstract: At the end of the day, we appreciate a 3.33GHz processor at the same price as Intel’s former flagship. But at $999, “value” is most definitely a relative term. The 2.66GHz Core i7-920 is still an undeniable favorite...

Abstract: Surprise, Intel's top of the line 3.33GHz Core i7 975 Extreme Edition is fast. In fact, based on the reviews by Hot Hardware and PC Perspective, among others, this quad-core proc is the fastest desktop processor ever. While it's only 4-5% faster across th...
Abstract: Seven months have passed since Intel officially launched its Core i7 processors, and for seven months they have remained at the top of our performance charts. Albeit pricey, Nehalem can’t be beat; it is the world’s fastest desktop microprocessor.Just ...
