Abstract: 1,000 Intel processors through the years Not many things are sure in this life, but fortunately there are a number of things you can count on like clockwork. The sun comes up in the morning, we all have to pay taxes and last but not least, the most expe...
With the recent Bloomfield product line Intel presents the most powerful desktop CPU available these times. Especially the Core i7 975 XE delivers more performance than any other CPU on the market and this by a quite big margin. But as expected, so muc...

Power consumption is high when processor is active, Very expensive
With Nehalem Intel shows a once in a decade overwork of their CPU architecture. Compared to other competitors their integration of the memory controller into the CPU as well as on die routing comes a little late. It seems that Intel was able to learn f...
Core i7 is Core 2 with performance cherries on top. On a clock-for-clock basis it can be some 75 per cent faster than the already-potent Core 2 (Penryn) CPU, and it will look increasingly better as more applications are released to take advantage of i...
Requires an expensive new motherboard, Chipset needs three memory sticks for maximum efficiency
Thanks to an expensive new motherboard requirement, Intels new Core i7 (Nehalem) desktop processors will remain enthusiast and professional-level parts until more affordable complementary hardware comes out next year. Speed never comes cheap, however
It’s hard to sum up our feelings about Core i7 in a few sentences but we’ll give it a try. Intel’s new processor seems to owe very little to Core 2 yet it behaves like Core 2 on steroids. At any given clock speed, you get more performanc...
Abstract: The more attentive Madshrimps reader is probably aware that weve already had a couple of in-depth performance scaling-articles in our review-collection, more specifically regarding AMDs Phenom and Phenom II CPUs. In those articles, we came to the...
We tried to make our tests at least a tad more interesting by using different memory modes -- and we found out that this parameter does not affect results. The only result that stands out against the common background is demonstrated by Core i7 920, b...
