Product Reviews: Intel Core i7 920
Intel has been on a performance-winning-streak ever since it unleashed its 'Core' line of processors on the market. Not content with waiting around for AMD to counterattack, Intel continued to update its Core processors to boost performance and this ...
Cool running, triple channel memory support, excellent application and gaming performance, very overclockable.
You'll need a new motherboard to use these chips.
The Nehalem micro-architecture 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.
Our 2.66GHz Core i7 920 processor includes 64Kbytes of L1 cache per core, 256Kbytes of L2 cache per core and a massive 8Mbytes of L3 cache. Another difference with Core i7 is that it ditches the traditional front side bus (FSB) in favour of a new...

REVIEWS: Intel Core i7 Nehalem Arrives and FSB Departs (2nd November 2008)
Intel Core i7 has been the talk of the town lately. Today its arrival brings a smile to enthusiasts everywhere.
Intel has gone from strength to strength in recent years, unlike Pentium 4 which really should have been put to bed after the Northwood core. In our eyes it was the only good core as it was a good overclocker and brought with it the first dual channel ...

Intel Core i7 (Nehalem): Architecture By AMD
Intel's new Core i7 processors represent a major evolution of the Core 2-series, though a lot of the additions look like they come from AMD's ...
Considering the title of this article, there's not much about the direct comparisons between nehalem and barcelona. It's basically just a break down of nehalem with AMD hardly mentioned at all. I expected more from the title

Introduction Earlier today we took an in-depth look at the architecture of Intel's newest microprocessor. We surmised that it took the guts of award-winning Core 2 and whilst not adding that much more to pure execution power, it removed many of the ...
Thoughts - Core 2 with performance cherries on topThink of Intel's quad-core Core i7 processor as a refined Core 2 that's also the beneficiary of Hyperthreading and you're pretty much there. The front-end and execution units are largely the same, ...
