schnellste Prozessor am Markt, sehr gute Spieleleistung, enorme Alltagsleistung, acht native Kerne, Hyperthreading, Turbo-Modus, freie Multiplikatorwahl, recht genügsam (Stromverbrauch), Wärmeentwicklung hält sich in Grenzen, DDR4-Support
enorme Anschaffungskosten, bei Spielen kaum schneller als ein "kleiner" Haswell mit vier Kernen
Keine große Überraschung: Der neue Intel Core i7-5960X ist der derzeit schnellste Prozessor am Markt. Für den ersten Achtkerner im Desktop-Bereich sprechen aber auch die ausgereifte Technik, der überschaubare Verbrauch und die recht niedrigen Temperaturen...

sehr hohe Spieleleistung, alle Titel flüssig
etwas langsamer als der Vorgänger und höher getaktete Haswell(-Refresh)-CPUs wie Core i7 4790K
Nils Raettig: Der Core i7 5960X erweist sich im Test als Enttäuschung. Wieso sollte ich als Spieler fast 1.000 Euro für eine CPU mit acht Kernen ausgeben, wenn sie durch den vergleichsweise niedrigen Takt praktisch immer etwas langsamer ist als der über 6...
we can say, that if you want the best of the best regarding CPU, platform as well as memory then Intel's new HaswellE should definitely be considered and it's especially multithreaded applications that will benefit the most from this new platform...
Intel’s Haswell-E i7 5960X is a massively powerful processor and a fitting successor to the i7 4960X. It is fast, capable of tearing through multi-threaded workloads and doesn’t consume copious amounts of power. This is the Haswell architecture at its fin...
Multi threaded performance, Overclocking with eight cores, Eight cores, Thermal performance
Low base clock speed
It's good to finally have Intel refresh the Extreme line up and take that step up to an eight core processor to do it. There are distributed computing crunchers just salivating at the performance potential that comes along with the added four threads that...
Extreme performance, Eight cores and 16 threads in one chip, Relatively energy efficient, Overclocks well
The $999 cost, Requires completely new platform
Almost three years on the release of the X79 platform supporting hexa-core Ivy Bridge-based processors, headlined by the Core i7-4960X, Intel is now updating the high-end platform with the Haswell architecture. Three Haswell Extreme (HSW-E) processors ar...
Abstract: It would be fair to say that in terms of raw CPU performance in the high end of the market Intel hasn't had much to worry about in recent times. Their X79/i7 based builds have offered fantastic results for those who work in multi-threaded applications and...

Staggering performance, Solid thermals, Swanky new X99 platform – DDR4, more storage options, No price increase over Ivy Bridge-E
Limited overclocking headroom, Hefty TDP,
PricingAs we have mentioned Intel's Core i7 5960X has an MSRP of $999 just like its predecessors. Intel provide a three year warranty for retail versions and a one year warranty for OEM tray versions. The Core i7 5930K has a MSRP of $583 and the Core i7 5...
The Ivy Bridge-E launch (almost exactly one year ago) was disappointing for a number of reasons. Not only did the Core i7-4960X offer little beyond what we were already getting from -3970X, but it had the gall to surface three months after Intel started s...
