Intel Core i7 975 EE goes up for pre-order, pricing pretty high
It must be fun having the fastest desktop processor going, as you earn the right to charge whatever premium you desire.
With competitors struggling to compete in the ultra high-end space, that’s where Intel often finds itself and its latest greatest – the Core i7 [...]
In February Intel indicated that it’s initiating a C-0 to D-0 stepping conversion for the Intel Core i7-920 processor.
Intel D-0 Stepping Core i7-920
The overclocking performance of D-0 Core i7-920 is superior to that of C0/C1 stepping. New stepping Core i7-920 features a few changes including S-Spec from SLBCH to SLBEJ, and the CPU ID from [...]
Intel will release Extreme Edition Core i7 processor within the near future, as well known overclocker Fugger has posted some early benchmarks and overcklocking results for the Core i7 Extreme Edition 975 which comes clocked at a default speed of 3.33GHz.
Although this is hardly a huge step up from the current 965XE part which is [...]
François Piednoel, and the rest of its performance analysis group, have showed us Nehalem, Core i7 PC water cooled all the way to 4.61GHz.
They did it on an Intel desktop motherboard powered by Intel’s desktop control center, something that lets you overclock from Windows. The voltage was all the way to 1.44V, whereas the chipset [...]
You will se how high these processors can be overclocked using the ASUS P6T motherboard. It is very interesting how Intel works with the QPI bus v/s Multipliers. After a bit of tinkering around, we eventually found the sweet spot on each of these processors. So it was now time to see how hot these [...]
Transcend Information Inc has released its DDR3-1333 triple channel memory kits for use with Intel Core i7 processors and Intel X58 Express Chipset motherboards. Transcend’s triple channel kits are designed specifically for the new platform, and offer an optimized combination of low voltage (1.5V), speed and enhanced latency (9-9-9-24) to deliver suitable performance and compatibility [...]
Long awaited Nehalem architecture got its official name: Core i7. We have tested two CPUs based on this architecture along with one motherboard based on X58 chipset also signed by Intel. But let’s cut to the chase and go straight to testing and results.
New Chipset
Code name for X58 chipset is “Tylersburg”. This chipset is made [...]
Core i7 Overclocking
Introduction:
It is now time for some temperature tests and to see how high these processors can be overclocked using the ASUS P6T motherboard. So it was now time to see how hot these babies got on a one hour OCCT stress test.
Intel Core i7 Overclocking Temperatures
The bus speed is down in 2 MHz [...]
Whenever AMD or Intel release a new processor and chipset platform, you can bet there’s going to be a good amount of excitement surrounding the release, along with anticipation as we eagerly await the arrival of systems that incorporate the new technologies. Velocity Micro’s new Edge Z55 Intel Core i7 Gaming System is out and [...]
As Intel Core i7 uses a different architecture, the overclocking of the CPU is now largely dependent on what is known as BCLK. BCLK, which you can call it base clock determines a lot of the other settings as they operate based on a ratio to it.
So, if you overclock the BCLK to high, you [...]
