Intel Core i7-920 Quad-Core Processor Review


Thu 2008-11-20 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
Benchmark Reviews have just tested the new Intel Core i7-920 quad-core processor, which features a 2.66Ghz clock speed.

Here's what they had to say:

"We feel that given the superior standard performance coupled with excellent overclocking results we experienced with the Intel Core i7-920 it is an excellent value at Intel's MSRP of $284.00. As with any product that is both highly anticipated and new to the market the initial pricing by the first distributors to receive their shipments tends to be a little higher than the MSRP the first few weeks strictly due to supply and demand. NewEgg currently has the Core i7-920 (model BX80601920) in stock and their current price is $304.95. I have been watching the pricing steadily drop for the last three days and feel that it should be more in line with Intel's MSRP in short order. This processor although not as speedy as the Core i7-965 or 940 still brings quite a bit to the table. To the average consumer the price of the Core i7-920 will be quite satisfactory given the performance gains they can expect in return."


Although it carries a slightly premium at the moment, the Core i7-920 really does provide tremendous Bang for the Bang for those interested in optimal multi-threaded performance.
