We're struggling to draw a firm conclusion about the Core i7-950. It's a fraction more expensive than the i7-930 and a fraction quicker in real world tasks; you're basically getting exactly what you're paying for. We had problems...

Reviewing something like the i7-950 is one of the hardest things we do.It's not that the actual benchmarking process is hard, or that the performance isn't breathtaking. Because the performance is breathtaking.The problem is the obvious...

The Intel Core I7 950 is a beast of a processor! It was able to chew up and spit out everything we threw at it with a grin on it's face. Several of the tests even show the Intel Core I7 950 running neck and neck with the Intel Core I7 970!...

We tried to make our tests at least a tad more interesting by using different memory modes -- and we found out that this parameter does not affect results. The only result that stands out against the common background is demonstrated by Core i7 920,...

Seven months have passed since Intel officially launched its Core i7 processors, and for seven months they have remained at the top of our performance charts. Albeit pricey, Nehalem can’t be beat; it is the world’s fastest desktop...

Tra le novità di questo mese di settembre spicca sicuramente l’annuncio di Intel (news a questo link) che riguarda diverse novità per il settore delle CPU. Nonostante si parli già molto di Sandy Bridge, l’attuale piattaforme...

Intel präsentiert mit den aktuellen Gulftown CPU's beinahe grenzenlose Leistung. Wie immer aber bei den Extreme-Modellen lässt sich Intel dies teuer bezahlen. Für CHF 1179.- (ca. EUR 786.-) erhält man ein exklusisves Stück Hardware, das...
