Intel i7 - 970 Review


This a review of the i7 - 970 processor.
Launch Date: Q'3 2010
The 970 is not counted in the extreme processor list but this monster is a one of the future legend. Though this CPU isn't that popular in the market, I would recommend this one.
Technical Specifications:
It has a base clock speed of 3.20 GHz and turbo boost upto 3.46 GHz. It has 6 Cores and 12 threads which makes me call it a monster. Cache is 12MB which is also pretty large. It has a 32 nm technology with an instruction set of 64 bit.
Works only on LGA 1366 Motherboards.
Price: 600 $ U.S
If you have the big budget then go for 970 and not 980x/990x. The extreme processors will get some bragging rights but not the performance for the money. The 970 beats the 980x if compared money- performance wise.
