It is interesting to note that in this article we featured three new processors, being the Phenom II X4 965, Core i5 750 and Core i7 860, all of which cost less than $300 US and are able to outperform the Core 2 Quad Q9650. Now when you consider the fa...
All in all, LGA1156 platform makes a very good impression. And although it is evident that Intel’s main goal with the new Lynnfield family launch is the transfer of Nehalem microarchitecture to the mainstream price segment, we often got the feeling...
Abstract: Ultimately, Intel's has done what they set out to do with Lynnfield--bring Nehalem's features and benefits down into more mainstream price points. The new Core i5 and Core i7 800 series processors are excellent additions to Intel's already stellar CPU line-up and the..
Intel has a whole family of products with this launch with new processors, new motherboards to support the processors and a new Platform Controller Hub that changes their entire cost equation. If you want a CPU that offers decent performance without sp...
Theres a lot to like about the LGA 1156 CPU lineup. Before we go any farther into the conclusion lets look at the expected price at the 1k distribution level. With the i5 750 priced at $196 on a thousand CPUs we can expect to see it surfacing aroun...

Abstract: So the mainstream iteration of Nehalem has now hit the street -- and it should be a success story. The benchmarking numbers speak for themselves, no matter how you look at them. As of right now, the Core i5 750 and i7 860 are superior options to AMD's latest quad-cores
Abstract: For the average user, Core i5 provides a better cost/benefit ratio than Core i7. It is true that Core i7 is faster than Core i5 even when we compare a Core i7 and a Core i5 running at the same clock rate as we did in our review

Over the last few weeks I have read both sides of the argument about Lynnfield. The AMD fans are saying it is a last ditch effort by Intel to prevent AMD from stealing market share. On the other hand, the Intel fans are saying it is going to be the...
While AMD has been pumping out what seemed like an endless stream of new processors in the effort to unseat the blue beast, Intel has been working to improve on the Nehalem architecture. One thing that the AMD guys could again harp on was the cost of ...
