Today sees the release of Intels latest CPU, the Core i7-980X Processor Extreme Edition. While the model number may be similar to the existing i7-975 this release is more than "just another speed-bump". Today HardwareHeaven take Intels new high end processor through a selection of real world productivity, media and gaming tests to establish how much of a step forward it is from the existing product range.
Der erste Sechs-Kern-Prozessor für den Desktop ist da! Was der Neuling von Intel, Codename „Gulftown“, mit seinen Kernen anzufangen weiß, sehen wir uns genauer an. Dabei interessiert uns in erster Linie seine Performance, aber auch die technischen Details kommen nicht zu kurz. Wie immer gibt es darüber hinaus einen Blick auf Overclocking- und Undervolting-Verhalten des neuen Intel-Flaggschiffs.
Intel offers something for everyone, as their extensive product line can prove. The chipmaker produces desktop, notebook, server, and personal digital appliance CPUs, Ethernet and WiFi network processors, and countless co-processor units. Keep this in mind as Benchmark Reviews presents the Intel Core i7-980X processor, a six-core Westmere 32nm CPU. Codenamed Gulftown, this 3.33GHz Extreme Edition processor features an unlocked clock speed multiplier with twelve computing threads and a 12MB cache. Built for the Intel X58-Express enthusiast platform, Benchmark Reviews tests the BX80613I7980X retail part in gaming, computing, and overclocking performance.
In the coming few weeks Intel will be launching the worlds first six-core desktop processor with the Core i7-980X desktop processor Extreme Edition. This LGA 1366 socket processor can be run in any existing Intel X58 Express chipset powered motherboard after a quick BIOS flash, so a new platform will not be needed. Read on to see what we think of the 980X in our testing!
Congratulations! If you're reading this article that means you are either trying to overclock your LGA 1156 platform for the first time or you already overclocked it but want to know more about how it is done and read if you can "enhance" your setup to reach that sweet point. The LGA1156 platform has been out for a while now, and it quickly got adopted by the users as the main performance platform thanks to the lower prices compared to the LGA 1366 while keeping the same performance. Intel launched 4 cores/8 threads processors (Core i5 and Core i7) based on Lynnfield's architecture, and after that we saw 2 cores/4 threads CPUs with Intel GMA HD graphics (Core i3 & Core i5) based on Clarkdale's technology. Thanks to a better and more mature technology, along with reduced manufacture's size, the entire LGA 1156 gamma is able to overclock in a very decent way within air-cooling conditions, and that's what we're analyzing today. Benchm! ark Reviews will teach you how to understand overclocking values while doing the process at the same time. After that, the Core i3, Core i5 and the powerful Core i7 processors will be deeply analyzed to check how the MHz increase versus heat, voltage and power consumption. Start your engines and have a look at our latest Intel LGA 1156 Overclocking Guide to setup your latest Core i3/i5/i7 CPU to the max!
When we look at the graphics cards that we review, we use the latest Intel X79 motherboard and the Intel Core i7 3960X processor. One of the primary reasons that we do this is to remove as much of the CPU bottleneck that we can. Though not everyone has the funds available to buy a processor that retails $1049.99. Today, we take a look at the performance scaling between six different Intel LGA1155 processors when using a high end graphics card like the AMD Radeon HD 7950.
Many people don’t have enough room for a full-size PC and crave more performance than you can squeeze from a reasonably-priced laptop. For these people, a mini-ITX system is very appropriate, compromising a few features for a much more compact system.
En présentant officiellement le Gulftown en ce mois de mars, Intel est donc le premier à décliner un processeur 6 Cœurs pour le grand public. Après l'apparition des Dual Core et Quad Core sur les déclinaisons Lynnfield et Bloomfield, puis du Westmere, voici le Gunlftown, une version 6 Cœurs pour les plateformes X58 LGA1366. L'augmentation du nombre de Cœurs au sein même du processeur porte-elle à la hausse les performances dans la pratique ? Logiciels et Jeux sont-ils devenus au fil du temps mieux optimisés pour l'exploitation des Cœurs et du Multi Threading avec l'HT ?
Intel keeps on pushing their technology to the max. Even while being the performance leader in most hardware segments, their engineers are driven to (re)design new architectures to satisfy the end-user's desire for more speed. However the focus with this CPU generation is not purely based on raw speed; this 4th generation main objective is to reduce the power consumption to the max, to gain grounds in the portable market. Rumor that Intel was pulling out of the desktop market has partially become reality. Not leaving the desktop market for what it is, as they will continue to develop the chipsets and processors. With Haswell we see the last releases of Intel's own motherboard branch. The market share of notebooks, ultrabooks, tablets and mini enclosures are steadily taking over the market share of the desktop. Enhanced battery life, a result of a reduced power consumption, an enhanced onboard graphic chip and the reduction of required motherboard components are the major trademarks of Intel's 4th generation processors. Time to put both K skews to the test.
Schon vor dem offiziellen Start von Intels Haswell-Generation konnte PC Games Hardware ein Sample aus dem regulären Handel ergattern. Im Vorab-Test ist der Core i5-4670K dank höherer pro-Takt-Leistung schneller als der Core i5-3570K, die Grafikeinheit ist besonders flott.
