Reviews and Ratings
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...
By Overclock3D onThe 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!...
By Legit Reviews onWe 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,...
By iXBT Labs onWith the recent Bloomfield product line Intel presents the most powerful desktop CPU available these times. Especially the Core i7 975 XE delivers more performance than any other CPU on the market and this by a quite big margin. But as expected, so...
By Ocaholic onThe Core i7-950 is - unsurprisingly - faster than the Core i7-940, but the comparatively small advantage in games compared to the Core 2 Quad Q9650 and the Phenom II X4 955 BE doesnt justify an upgrade. If you build a new system you should rather...
By PC Games Hardware onNothing interesting, we just found another proof that any memory technology gets more or less interesting from 133MHz on (e.g. DDR-266, DDR2-533, DDR3-1066). But its active usage starts from 166MHz on (DDR-333, DDR2-667 and, finally, DDR3-1333)....
By iXBT Labs onSeven 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...

Wie nach dem Lesen der Spezifikationen zu erwarten war, platziert sich der Core i7-950 bei Standardtakt im Mittelfeld unserer Testreihe, zwischen dem 920 und dem 965 Extreme Edition. Für den Standardandwender bietet der 950 mehr als ausreichend...

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...
