Significant architectural and process differences with the Core 2 series, Out of the box performance blows away the C2D E8400, Overclocking monster with huge performance increases
NONE
So we get back to my original question: "Is the i7 all hype?" Looking at the physical architectural differences between the i7 and the Core 2 series, Intel has made some significant changes in their new processor line. The Nehalem is not just a warmed...
There is no question about the benefit of using a higher speed memory in your system. What is interesting is when the cost benefit really goes away. Think about using a slower speed memory for half the price of the high speed counterparts. System perfo...
Let’s see what we ended up with here. Our today’s test session proved that new Core i7 processors overclock not any worse than their predecessors. We took the first mass production Core i7-920 CPU we came across and managed to increase its clo...
Core i7 is apparently a good product. We insist that the main objective of this project was not to improve performance. It wouldnt have been a failure even if it had been less efficient than Core 2. As it is, its 7% more efficient. What else there i...
Judging just the processor alone, the Core i7 920 delivers excellent performance at a respectable price range of about $250 - $300. Even at stock speeds, its a pretty good value, but when you throw overclocking into the mix, the 920 becomes a much mo...
The newly introduced Intel Core i7 series of CPUs pack several interesting technologies and the inclusion of the memory controller at the chipset further boosts memory performance. The Intel Core i7-920 is the lowest-priced product but still, its ~€2...
Rock Solid Stable, Cool Running, Really fast for even the lowest i7 offering, OnDie Memory Controller, Excellent Overclocking Potential, Availability, Very Affordable
Yet another motherboard upgrade (sigh....)
As you can see in the previous benchmarking, calling this a "budget processor" could be deemed a joke. The performance contained even within this US$300 i7-920 processor is extremely impressive for the money. One would really wonder why they would pa...
Nehalem gives Intel an even bigger lead over AMD in terms of performance, whilst also running cooler at the same time. A deadly, one-two punch combination. ...
As we have found out, the Nehalem architecture is an evolutionary move in the progress of the Core product line. The amount of changes and new technologies is so vast that it would be more appropriate to use the phrase "an evolutionary leap". However,...
