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 950 has four cores that run at 3.06GHz 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 without 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 any extra effort. The 45nm Intel Core i7 processor is armed with 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.

OUTSTANDING
- Pros: This is a GREAT CPU!!!!! I changed from the 940 to this 950 using my Gigabyte EX58-U5D and right off the bat at stock settings with the Intel’s Turbo on I’m running at 3.2. The standard 950 DO stepping multiple is 23 with the Intel's Turbo on the CPU runs at a multiple of 24. I tried a little overclocking up to 3.6, the 950 runs at a
lower voltage (1.216) with a BLCK of 151 compared to the 940 at (1.296) with a BLCK of 158 to get to a stable 3.6 overclock. The 950 does run a little warmer then the 940, I’m using a Thermalright True 120 which keeps my temps
under control. At ideal the temps for my 3.6 overclock run between 30-33C CPU temp, and Core temps between 37-45C, under load with Prime95 my CPU temp is in the mid to upper 40C, with the Core temps running between
the mid to upper 60’sC, this is at an ambient temp of 75F The 950 is easier to get a stable overclock then the 940 was. The 950 is FAST at stock, but overclocked it's BLAZING FAST.
- Cons: NONE
- Other Thoughts: I have no doubt that the 950 will soon be setting overclocking records for a CPU in this class.
Newegg ROCKS, keep up the good wok....
Game on!
- Pros: Fast.........! This thing running VMWare Workstation 6.5 and using a GTX285 graphics card, can play Half Life 2 (1440x1050) inside the VM with only the most minor of hiccups. Feels very smooth to play game on Vista Ult. 64 bit.
- Cons: Price! Hot idle temps (CPU 48C/Cores around 60C).

- Pros: like cooking with gas, installed fine,
- Cons: none
Very Nice!
- Pros: Very stable and easy to install, I was very impressed with the Heat Sink and Fan it came with, I ordered a Thermaltake Heatsink and Fan to use with it,but I decided to use the one that was sent with the CPU. It is very quiet and runs very cool.
This is my first Intel Build after building over 10 AMD Machines for myself I decided to go with Intel.
Great choice!
- Cons: NON
Screaming speed.
- Pros: Fast!
Multiple cores @ 3.06GHz = massive bandwidth and fantastic multi-threading capability.
Great for a Graphics/CAD or Audio Workstation apps where you really need the extra CPU "muscle"
- Cons: Pricey...
- Other Thoughts: You get what you pay for.

Intel Core i7 Quad-core Processor
With four processing cores, the multitasking monster Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor delivers fourfold the performance on highly-threaded applications, taking your desktop PC experience into a completely new realm of mega power. 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 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 L3 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 L3 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 enabled with HT Technology delivers performance and multitasking gains that result in increased productivity and efficiency.
