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 960 has four cores that run at 3.2GHz 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 4.2 (Intel SSE4.2) instructions for fast high definition video editing and encoding, enhance the multimedia performance.

May I Say, Yes Please?
- Pros: This little guy is a beast. I'm a film student editing high def footage and it allows for extreme multitasking. I'll have Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere open simultaneously and it doesn't even blink.
Huge upgrade from anything and worth the price.
- Cons: The way Newegg sent this was a bit nerve racking upon opening. They simply had the CPU wrapped in a sheet of bubble wrap and thrown in with the rest of my order. C'mon Newegg, I paid you how much for shipping?
- Other Thoughts: The CPU doesn't come with a fan or heat sink. So make sure you have or plan on buying one when you order this puppy.
great cpu!
- Pros: Running this cpu moderately overclocked @ 4.0 GHz - running about 39 deg C at idle, maxes at about 52 under load. Previously used a Q6700 OC'd @ 3GHz in another system. This one handles video encoding even better. Could have used an i7-920 with massive overclock, but I need reliability too.
- Cons: a bit pricey

Fast, oh yea
- Pros: Quite speedy
Easier to get a reliable OC out of than the 920 imo
Great multi-tasking
- Cons: It came wrapped in 9, 9! layers of bubble wrap, like 2 feet wide I swear. Must of seen the other guy's review.
- Other Thoughts: After the pain of getting it out of the thick bubbly package the case was a little underwhelming.
960 or 920
- Pros: This chip is a beast
- Cons: I probably could have saved some money and bought the 920. I hear it OCs easily.
- Other Thoughts: Having not built a system and lived with my single core FX55 for so long I did not want to risk having a loud high OC system. So, I spent $300 more than I needed to to have a system that would dance just fine with some minor tweaks.
I gave it 4 stars as I could have the same chip by OCing 920.
Nicktric
- Pros: I di break one motherboard pin but in the end if it was the right one inh the center top bottom it didnht affect the opoeration of theis chip it is a d0 so its also unlock making the chip really fly the extra 50. from the broken pin aklso juices it up a bit it doent even blow the chip way cool new bioses are the norm now ending in the f9d one in gigabye for gulfstream cpus upcoming caNT WAIT
- Cons: BUT THE CHIP HERE IS NOT A C0 ITS D0 its very muck of a power hog
- Other Thoughts: DO0 MUST BE BETTER IF ITS OVERCLOCKED RIGHT DO IS BEING A 28X SPEEDS ALSO THAts fast one poweruser i am but this eats poer but its cool.
