As we said at the start, the LGA2011 range so far hasn't been the biggest success Intel have ever had. It's too expensive for the amount of performance that the average user will require. However, if you need extraordinary amounts of power for rendering...
Ivy Bridge E is in many ways the same old same old we have seen from Intel over the last few launches. Ultimately we can chalk this up to a lack of competition from AMD, so what we get is a good processor that is only slightly better than the previous...

Does Intel's Core i7-4960X, specifically, get me all revved up about upgrading? Well, no. Not really. But then again, those thousand-dollar CPUs rarely do. What about the Core i7-4930K replacing Intel's -3930K for $550? That'd be a tough sell for all of t...
The general feeling I come away from the Ivy Bridge-E is that it is a good processor, but nothing stellar when compared to the Sandy Bridge-E predecessor. Is it better? Yes. It is a whole lot better? No. Should you ditch your Sandy Bridge-E system for a s...

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...
The buzz among enthusiasts about Ivy Bridge-E has been relatively muted and there’s good reason for that. The performance differences, minor as they are, between Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge microarchitectures have been well documented since their mains...

If you take a look at the raw performance scores, Intel's latest six core / twelve thread beast is just that in terms of multi threaded performance. Across the entire test suite it is faster at completing a workload at stock speeds than anything else on t...
A Muted Arrival of the Ivy Bridge-E ProcessorFrom what we have witnessed of the Intel Core i7-4960X CPU's performance, it appears the ultimate desktop PC processor has yet to show its true prowess. We can see some slight compute performance gains; however...
