Where should we begin? The Intel Core i7-5960X is an impressive processor from a multi-thread perspective. In applications where you can fully utilize the 8-cores and 16-threads there are significant performance improvements to be had. The down side to ha...
Abstract: It was a glorious thing when Intel released its Gulftown-based Core i7-980X in early 2010. It was the first desktop CPU out of the company that featured six cores, and it felt like a relative boon to those, like me, who run virtual machines, encode video,...

The Core i7 5960X is a more than capable CPU and it shows with raw muscle in many tests but its ability to win gamers hearts will depend on how it evolves. 0...
