Abstract: We are lagging a little bit behind the official media embargo date for Intel's new Sandy Bridge processors and honestly, all of the information shown below on this page has been released or leaked previously by Intel, so there should be no real surpris...
Abstract: Intel never quite reached 4GHz with the Pentium 4. Despite being on a dedicated quest for gigahertz the company stopped short and the best we ever got was 3.8GHz. Within a year the clock (no pun intended) was reset and we were all running Core 2 Duos...
So we have the replacement for the LGA1156 series of processors that just seemed to be finding their feet. With them coming it at three differing price points but not really for three different markets, we have to split this conclusion into three parts...
Outstanding media-processing capabilities. Good overall computing performance. Unlocked multiplier for simplified overclocking.
Onboard video lacks DirectX 11 support, won't replace what you can get with discrete cards. Requires new motherboard. Bundled CPU cooler discourages tinkering.
Intel takes a giant step forward with the Core i7-2600K, one of its inaugural Sandy Bridge CPUs, in terms of both value and media processing. Its much-touted onboard graphics won't displace what you get with a discrete graphics card, but overall this ...
We were surprised to see so much performance and overclockability from this supposedly low-end and multiplier-locked quad-core CPU. However, it's not that much cheaper than the incredible so we struggle to see the point of it. It might be very fast an...
Abstract: Exactly one year ago today, we posted our biggest (in terms of wordage) launch article ever. The product at hand? Intel's Clarkdale processors, which at the time, were the most sophisticated offerings on the market. They were also the first to bring a...
Abstract: Although the processing cores in Intel’s Sandy Bridge architecture are decidedly similar to Nehalem, the integration of on-die graphics and a ......
Abstract: Hey all and welcome to the new year! We've mentioned in some other reviews that 2011 is going to be a very significant year in the processor industry as we'll be faced with two changes. The first being a new architecture for both Intel and AMD, chang...
Substantial performance improvement over existing Socket 1156 processors, New vector instructions promise even better performance down the road, Enhanced Turbo Boost, HyperThreading, and power management features, Low 95 watt TDP and low processor temperatures, even when overclocked, Overclocks very well with a P67 Express motherboard,
Requires a new Socket 1155 motherboard, Overclockability and features entirely dependent on motherboard, Cougar Point systems still limited to 24 PCIe lanes, Intel's introduction of 28 new CPUs and 10 new chipsets potentially confusing to the consumer
" section. But remember that people who build and overclock their own systems are a minuscule fraction of the market; I suspect if every single overclocked defaulted to AMD, it wouldn't be more than a rounding error in Intel's bottom line. Reply # ...
