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 two channels of DDR3 1333 MHz memory, resulting in up to 21 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 enabled with HT Technology deliver performance and multitasking gains that result in increased productivity and efficiency.

Cons: I overclocked my old Athlon II X2 250 @4.05Ghz and ran the single core test on Cinebench 11.5 and it's SINGLE CORE score of 1.14 beat out this chip's 1.13 score @ stock 2.80Ghz LOL. Not too bad for a $60 chip. 0 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
NitrousX 6/18/2012 8:08:16 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 5/5Brave Little Lynnfield Pros: Bought this in December of '09. Still running great to this date. Awesome overclocker, bumped this up to 4GHz with just 1.28v! Still holds its ground against Sandy Bridge in most day to day activities (gaming, rendering, etc.,) Cons: Runs somewhat hot under full load. 50-60c CPU is cooled with a Corsair H50 w/ GT AP-15's Other Thoughts: i7 860 @ 4GHz 8GB GSkill RipjawsX 1600 MSI P55-GD80 EVGA GTX 680 SC+ Intel X25-M 80GB, Crucial M4 128GB Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Corsair HX850 Windows 7 Ultimate x64 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

smallgreentreefrog 4/8/2012 2:30:36 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 5/5still a beast Pros: WEI rates it along with the memory at 7.5, never overclocked this thing. Cons: It idles around the mid 40 degree celcius mark. I can't seem to get it to come down, and haven't ever used an aftermarket cooler. Other Thoughts: This was my second pc build ever. Paired it with a GA-P55A-UD3R motherboard and 8GB of G.Skill DDR3 1600 memory (F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL). Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 1/14/2012 2:32:35 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Intel i7 860 Pros: Such a great cpu and it's still top of the line even after having it for 2+ years. The new sandy bridge cpus really aren't much better then this guy. Cons: None really, unless you consider it's a bit under-clocked. Other Thoughts: I'm glad I bought this CPU and I probably won't have to upgrade until 8 core's with 12mb cache's become the standard. Did you find this review helpful?

darkgemini 12/31/2010 4:12:04 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Amazing processor Pros: Very fast Very easy to cool Very low energy usage Cons: If there are any disadvantages, I haven't seen them yet Other Thoughts: This is the processor for my main gaming rig. I've played every game I've been able to get my hands on with it, and have yet to see it maxed out. It seems to handle anything I throw at it, while the temperature barely ever rises.

N/A 11/8/2010 12:02:18 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5	Rating: 5/5Perfect!!!! Pros: I have this running at 3.6ghz with CoolIT ECO heatsink. This thing is a BEAST compared to my QX9300. Chews through Maya and UDK rendering/level build times. For 279 bucks and some overclocking you get the same performance of a 1,000 dollar chip. My entire computer runs fast and super smooth. Cons: Not a big difference in my games but then again I am only running a 512Mb 5770 but in Fallout 3 there are ZERO load times. LFD/LFD2 and UT3 run super smooth and clean tho. Other Thoughts: I can be doing a Mental Ray render in Maya with the cores @ 100 percent and still browse the internet. I used to have to go make a sandwich and take a break because my computer would be brought to its knees. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?
