Sandy Bridge really is a completely new architecture. The overall processor performance, really, is going to stagger you. And inside the die, merged deeply in there, we spot an integrated GPU (I ...

The improvements to the i7-3770K’s IPC (instructions per clock) are immediately apparent in Cinebench, where its score of 7.91 at its stock frequency of 3.5GHz (boosting to 3.9GHz) sees it achieve a ...

The Sandy Bridge lineup is comprised of several desktop and mobile Core i7, Core i5 and Core i3 processors that will effectively replace most of the current offerings under those series. An additional ...

Cinebench R11.5 is a 3D rendering performance test based on Cinema 4D from Maxon. Cinema 4D is a 3D rendering and animation tool suite used by animation houses and producers like Sony Animation and ...

After gawping at the performance of the quad-core, non-Hyper-Threaded Intel Core i5-2500K for a while, we turned our attention to the Core i7-2600K. This 3.4GHz quad-core, eight-thread CPU dominated ...

And here we arrive at that other processor, the 2600K, let's have a look. So, clearly the Core i7 2600K comes with 8 threads, a phat 8MB of L3 cache. We run DIMMs at a reference 1333 MHz CAS9 JEDEC.

According to SiSoftware Sandra 2011, the dual-channel memory bandwidth of the new Intel Core i5 2500K and Core i7 2600K processors is comparable to that of the Core i5 750. As you can see the Core i5 ...

As you can see, and we’ve already mentioned, the chips utilize the new socket 1155 and are built using Intel’s 32nm process node. The chips we tested and that will hit retail shelves are revision D2, ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. Back in the days of the Conroe CPUs, I compared Intel to a charging rhino. They are a big company that has a lot of weight and momentum behind them. Often ...

Here's a CPU-Z shot of the Core i7 2600K idling at 1,600MHz. You'll note that it has a 3.4GHz basic speed that ramps up to 3.8GHz when a single thread is running. The math-intensive AVX ...
