Intel Core i5 750 Processor Review

By

On September 7, 2009, 11:00 PM

It has been 10 months since Intel unleashed its Nehalem architecture and we showed you the Core i7 920, 940 and 965 Extreme Edition. Not much has changed in the high-end sector during this timeframe, as Core i7 processors are still brutally fast and equally expensive.

The new Intel Core i5 750 is the first release in a series of processors based on a mainstream version of the Core i7 platform. It is a quad-core part based on the "Lynnfield" architecture, fabricated using a 45nm process and utilizing the new LGA1156 platform. The Core i5 750 is set to cost just $199, it will operate at a healthy 2.66GHz and feature a whopping 8MB L3 cache, but no Hyper-Threading support will be present.


In our review we will go into more detail about Intel's reworked desktop CPU line-up, the new P55 chipset (LGA1156), and our usual load of benchmarks comparing this new processor against current Core 2 Quad offerings, the Core i7 920 and the AMD Athlon II X4 965.

Read the complete review.

    Will this motherboard be good enough for latest programs and some games:

    mplete=2

    Plus, Processor, would be AMD Phenom II x6 1090T BE,

    Adding, ATI Radeon? HD 4290 vga,

    And about 4GB RAM, and 1TB hard.

    Will this all be good enough for about couple of years?
