Crush your enemies, climb the tower of paperwork, or do both at the same time. Intel's Core i7 processor not only makes it possible, it makes it easy. The Core i7 Extreme Edition 975 has quad cores that run at 3.33GHz and shares 8MB of L3 cache.
Quad cores means true multi-tasking and multi-threading. One core handles the usual action on your operating system, while the second can play a DVD on the TV, the third download a file from internet, and the fourth one sends audio to the kids in another room with no lags or stutters. All this is made easier with Intel’s advanced Digital Media Boost.
With Intel Turbo Boost technology and Intel Hyper-Threading technology, The Core i7 enables highly threaded applications or demanding applications to work in maximum speed without need the slightest effort. The 45nm Intel Core i7 processor is armed Intel HD Boost, which implementing new Intel Streaming SIMD Extension 4.1 (Intel SSE4.1) instructions for fast high definition video editing and encoding, enhance the multimedia performance.
Pros: Very stable and easily overclockable proc. I run it at 4.2 GHz with water cooling. I have two cooling circuits, so the 975 runs by itself on one circuit with a double radiator. This keeps temps around 39 degrees most of the time.
Cons: Price.
Other Thoughts: Settings are: multiplier 21, BCLK 200MHz, CPU voltage 1.4. I'm also running Corsair DDR3 2000 memory at 2000. Nice stable system. Highly recommended if you can stand the toll. Before this proc I was running a 920 at 4 GHz. In conclusion I can only say that the last few percentages of speed costs! Is it worth it? <shrug>

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: everything about this cpu is amazing! my main concern when buying it was its baseline clock speed. im in iraq and i didnt want to o/c and have to worry about heat... but, i did toy around and got to 4.0ghz with no problems. the stock cooler auto adjusts speed so it got a bit noisy but its totally stable playing crysis @ 2560x1600 everything high... nuff said
Cons: so its a bit pricey... if your in the market for something like this, you already planned on spending this kind of money. hardly a con in my book.
Other Thoughts: with a real nice air cooler or better yet a water cooler, 4.5-5 is easily attainable. this puppy max's out win7 cpu score no prob. im runnen evga 3 way classified mobo, and an evga gtx 295 co-op f t w-edition(one for now), also corsair x128 ssd and 6gb 1866 7-8-7 dominator gt. truly instantaneous on everything i do!

Seem Rediculous To Me!
Reviewed By: Builder on 7/14/2009
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Does everything Intel says it will do. Excellent CPU.
Cons: I have built 2 new i7 computers. Both use identical hardware except for the cpu. One uses an i7 920, the other an i7 975. In my opinion the entire Core i7 line-up of CPUs are all fundamentally the same. The only real difference is the clock speed. When I can easily over clock a 920 to 3.8GHz on air safely for 24/7 operation, having spent only $280, I believe it makes no sense to spend $1,000 for a 975.
Other Thoughts: Do yourself, and your bank account a favor, and buy a 920.

Pros: Newegg has this priced way lower than all of their competitors. I shopped all around and ended up here.
Cons: I have to fill large orders for customers and I wish I had a wholesale account with NEWegg to push more inventory faster to my customers.
Other Thoughts: Unlike some of those micro stores they dont limit your purchase quantity, you are allowed to purchase up to "5 per customer!"

920 OC
Reviewed By: Gary1955 on 4/15/2010
Tech Level: average - Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: In order for a 920 to reach 4.4 Mhz or greater you have to reduce your memory speed to 1067 Mhz. I have 2000 Mhz RAM and I refuse to run it that low to get an illusion of a faster system on a 920, when you have to reduce it's RAM subsystem to half of it's rated speed.
Cons: In the old days it was ALL about CPU speed but with modern computers having specific RAM, CPU, and Graphics subsystems having to reduce any one of these to increase another just doesn't make much sense.
Other Thoughts: I don't have this CPU I have a 920 but I'm looking into it. I saw the 920 argument so I wanted to add my .02. Thanks for looking.

The powerful processor delivers serious performance on the ultra-demanding games of today and tomorrow. The innovative 45nm quad-core technology optimizes thermal performance for reduced power consumption and noise.
Integrated DDR3 Memory Controller With the integrated DDR3 memory controller, the Intel Core i7 Extreme enables three channels of DDR3 1066 MHz memory, resulting in up to 25.6 GB/sec memory bandwidth. Plus the memory controller's lower latency and higher memory bandwidth delivers amazing performance for data-intensive applications.
Intel Advanced Smart Cache Intel Advanced Smart Cache Technology dynamically allocates the shared L2 cache to each processor core based on workload. This efficient, multi-core-optimized implementation increases the probability that each core can access data from fast L2 cache, resulting in significantly reduced latency for frequently used data and improved performance.
Intel Turbo Boost technology Intel Turbo Boost technology maximizes speed for demanding applications, dynamically accelerating performance to match your workload-more performance when you need it the most.
Intel Wide Dynamic Execution With Intel Wide Dynamic Execution, each of the four cores can complete up to four full instructions simultaneously, improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle.
Greater Performance with Hyper-Threading Technology (HT Technology) Hyper-threading enables multi-threaded software applications to execute two software threads in parallel to improve system responsiveness. Intel Core i7 Extreme enabled with HT Technology deliver performance and multitasking gains that result in increased productivity and efficiency.
