Check out the most significant architectural change in the x86 architecture in 13 years, the Intel Core i7. Intel has completely reinvented their CPU design, removing the antiquated Front Side Bus and replacing it with the Intel QuickPath Interconnect, delivering up to 6.4 GT/s. Also the Core i7 line is the integrated memory controller, supporting Triple Channel DDR3 Memory allowing for more maximum memory, up to 24GB on some boards, and faster access times. Located directly on the CPU die is 256KB per core of L2 cache and 8MB L3 cache shared across all four cores means the CPU can do more without having to access the main memory, further increasing performance. minimize

Absolutely the smartest CPU to buy for i7

Strengths:

Great price; overclockability

Weaknesses:

None

Posted 1 year ago - Has provided a wonderfully fast experience with the Asus P6T Deluxe at its default speeds; looking forward to overclocking (which all websites report to be very easy) right on up to 4GHz on air. There's no easy way to justify spending more on a 940 or 965XE when this one overclocks so easily.

Core i7-920 Quad Core Processor (2.66GHz, 4x256kB, 4.8GT/s QPI, LGA 1336 Socket B)

Strengths:

Strong, fast, easily overclockable within reason with stock fan (1 Ghz with 5-10 temp rise)

Weaknesses:

None

Posted 3 months ago - I didn't want to pay the premium for the latest i7 core, so this one is a bargain. Easily souped up to satisfy most people. Even stock speed is fast. I am not a gamer! I overclocked because I could.
