Abstract: While even Intel now admits that clock speed isn't everything, there are workloads where high frequency processors are favoured over those with more cores running at lower frequencies. One of the use-cases both AMD and Intel provide is high frequency...
Abstract: The full eight-core die rollout is reserved for the server and workstation parts that are due for launch a month from now, so while the die has eight cores, all the chips Intel sells have only six cores enabled at present. How is the base performance...
When comes to raw performance and number crunching abilities, the Core i7-3960X is in a league of its own. When it comes to video encoding, the CPU gets to stretch its legs as it puhes past the 2600K. While all this power is great fun, other than a fe...
Intel has driven home its advantage with the release of the Core i7-3960X, which is now the fastest desktop processor on the market. As long as an application correctly exploits the six cores at its disposal, there's no competition for this processor a...

As was proven many times throughout this article, Intel has once again delivered the world's fastest desktop processor with its Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition. This of course comes as no surprise, as it's based on what we already knew to be the most ef...
What to think? As for Intel, new CPUs are truly a step forward, although their price/performance ratio remains open to interpretation. Extreme-series CPUs are only fit for hardcore enthusiasts and overclockers, or the very few who require a ridiculous...
Abstract: In 2011, we expected to see three major events: Intel LGA 1155 in the beginning, AMD Bulldozer in the middle and Intel LGA 2011 closer to the end. The first happened as planned (quad-core processors for LGA 1155 arrived in January, with dual-core model...
