The Intel Core i7-3930K will be unlocked as expected, clocked at a 3.2GHz base clock with a 3.8GHz Turbo clock, sporting the same 6 cores and 12 threads of its bigger brother, but will carry a neutered 12MB of cache as opposed to the 15MB of the Extremely...
Sandy Bridge-E is just plain awesome. The i7-3960X out-performs every other CPU on the market, bar none. AMD has nothing to get close to competing with SNB-E. Bulldozer disappointed many and this just makes it look even worse. They also have nothing on ...

Obviously, the Core i7-3960X is the new top dog in the desktop CPU performance sweeps, as a look at our value plot will show. Although it's still not a great value, the 3960X provides a solid incremental improvement over the Core i7-990X in our overall p...

While we don't want to give the impression that the i7-3930K is a slow CPU for consumer applications and games, it isn't significantly faster than the Core i7-2600K. This is a problem for Intel, as the i7-3930K is almost exactly double the price; LGA20...

Abstract: Just recently it seemed that the upcoming launch of the new LGA 2011 platform will be Intel’s response to AMD Bulldozer. But reality proved expectations like that to be wrong: AMD developers failed to produce microarchitecture fir for a high-performanc...
There was never a question of whether or not Sandy Bridge-E was going to be fast. Rather the question was how much faster would it be? Intel’s press information was quick to point out that the Core i7-3960X is 52% faster than the Core i7-2600K in conte...

If you're looking for the fastest consumer CPU in the world, the Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition is unquestionably it. But a few caveats may give pause to all but the most rabid enthusiasts. ...
Intel's latest CPU is an impressive device. With almost twice the available memory bandwidth as the 980X you should see a nice improvement in almost any application you run. No, this will not translate into gaming (for the most part) but then again if you...
