Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition Processor Review


Tue 2008-11-18 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
Benchmark Reviews have just tested the new ultra-high-end Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition quad-core processor, which features unlocked multipliers.

Let's see what they had to say:

"Well the day has finally arrived where the Intel Core series of processors aren't just hype, rumor, and innuendo anymore. Much of the marketing hype that was circulating before these processors were sent out for review has proven to be true and their new processor line is truly the fastest on the planet. We'll have to admit we were taken back by these processors raw power in CPU intensive applications as they cut through processes in record time that would have been much more challenging to their predecessors. Yes we're extremely impressed! The Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition is the kingpin of the lot and literally smokes all its competition. The Core i7-965XE processor in itself is enough to stir the very lifeblood of all that appreciate raw unadulterated computing power. Ok, so much for the enthusiast side of me, now it's time to put on my reviewer hat and come back down to earth and complete this review."


Although expensive, there's no denying the power of this processor in multi-threaded applications, nor the usefulness of unlocked multipliers for those who need optimal flexibility while overclocking.
