Abstract: Benchmarking 86 CPUs takes a while. After long last, though, we have 51 models from AMD and 35 from Intel tested in our current suite. If you want to know how your processor sizes up to its competition, you'll find plenty of comparison data inside! 86 C...
Abstract: This time we'd like to offer you the summarized test results of as many as 71 processors. This generally marks the end of the year, not the end of another test method's life cycle (like the last time). We believe this summary contains all important pro...
Abstract: Let's show the basic specs of all Core i7 processors released to date in a series of quick-reference tables. The Core i7 was the first Intel processor to bring an integrated memory controller, feature available on AMD processors since the Athlon 64. In...
Abstract: As you well know, Intel Core i7-900 processors for the LGA1366 socket are not the only Core i7 products in the market. Lynnfield-based solutions for the LGA1156 socket have been selling for over a year now in the mainstream segment, and far better at t...

A significant price drop with a minor performance loss against Intel's top-line CPU makes this 45-nanometer, quad-core model an excellent buy....
Abstract: The arrival of less expensive socket LGA1156 Intel Core i5 and i7 chips changed that a bit. They are cheaper, but slightly slower than the top level Intel 975XE CPU. The system cost is also about on a par with the AMD top CPU bins. Yet, trying to put ...
Yet another motherboard upgrade (sigh....), Different CPU cooler Needed, Different mounting needed for CPU Cooler
In my opinion, the new Lynnfield Core i7 processors are a very good step in the right direction. Through testing and benchmarking, when compared to a Nehalem system, the new Intel i7-870 packs a lot of punch for the dollar. Performance differences wi...
