Only a month later than AMD's new flagship FX CPU, Intel is back with their latest creation and launches it's brand new high end hexacore CPU for the masses. Not that it had a real competitor with the AMD FX lineup for the performance crown. But it wa...
We have longed for a new series of processors from Intel that would replace the aging X58 chipset and Nehalem combination and the Sandy Bridge-E delivers well on that wish. Even though the architecture is something we are very familiar with- having been...
