Overclocking Intel's Core i5-750 & i7-870
Written by Rob Williams on September 10, 2009 In Intel Multi-CoreWe 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-CoreThe 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.
Intel Core i7-975 Extreme Edition
Written by Rob Williams on June 2, 2009 In Intel Multi-CoreIt'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? Don't fret, as Intel has just announced their i7-950 3.06GHz mid-range and i7-975 3.33GHz high-end models. We're taking a look at the latter today, so let's see how it compares to its predecessor.
Q9400S & Q8200S: Intel's 65W Quad-Cores
Written by Rob Williams on February 9, 2009 In Intel Multi-CoreThe 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.
Intel Core i7 Performance Preview
Written by Rob Williams on November 3, 2008 In Intel Multi-CoreWith Core i7's launch due in just a few weeks, there's no better time than right now to take a hard look at its performance, which is what we're taking care of today. In addition to our usual performance comparisons with last-gen CPUs, we're also taking an in-depth look at both QPI and HyperThreading performance, and some of our results may surprise you.
