Overclocking Intel's Core i5-750 & i7-870

Written by Rob Williams on September 10, 2009 In Intel Multi-Core

We found out earlier this week that Intel's Lynnfield-based processors are fast, but who said that cranking the clocks to make them even faster was a bad idea? In this article, we take both the Core i5-750 and i7-870 for an overclocking joyride, and the stable overclocks we were able to achieve is nothing short of impressive.


Intel Core i7-870 & i5-750 - Nehalem for the Mainstream

Written by Rob Williams on September 7, 2009 In Intel Multi-Core

The wait for Intel's Lynnfield has been long, but it's safe to say that it's been well worth it. They may be considered "mainstream" models, but the new Core i5 and i7 processors are powerful. Expect faster performance, improved power consumption and greater efficiency. With the i5-750 set to sell for $199, the time to build that new PC is now.

It's been a good seven months since the launch of the original Core i7 processors, so isn't it about time we got to see some new models?

Intel has unveiled most of what we wanted to know about their 32nm "Westmere" processors, and it looks like we have a fair amount to look forward to. In addition to the fact that we'll be seeing GPU/CPU processors later this year, the company also threw in a few other surprises, such as the inclusion of new security-based instructions. Read on to learn all of what's new.


Q9400S & Q8200S: Intel's 65W Quad-Cores

Written by Rob Williams on February 9, 2009 In Intel Multi-Core

The benefits of a low-TDP processor are obvious, but a usual downside is also obvious: low clock speeds. Intel's changing that thinking with their Core 2 Quad "S" series, which includes the Q9550S, Q9400S and also the Q8200S. Compared to their non-"S" variants, they draw less power and run cooler, all while retaining the performance they've become known for.
