AW0432 - ..
AW0433 - 3. We?ve been in this business here at HotHardware for a long
AW0434 - time now. For most of that time, we?ve heard from countless
AW0435 - so-called "industry experts" that the PC is dead, or at the
AW0436 - very least dying. Quite frankly, we?re sick of hearing it. The
AW0437 - PC is far from dead. One has to look no further than Intel's
AW0438 - most recent finanical results, or even the contents of this
AW0439 - website. In fact, we?d argue that the PC is more pervasive
AW0440 - than ever. The PC isn?t dead, it just so happens to be one of
AW0441 - the most flexible and versatile pieces of technology in
AW0442 - existence, and it has simply gone through a number of
AW0443 - transformations in its illustrious lifetime. What was once a
AW0444 - non-descript, beige box good for little more than word
AW0445 - processing and spreadsheets is now the sleek, aesthetically
AW0446 - pleasing, hub of our digital world, that can take many
AW0447 - different shapes. And despite its impending doom, today the PC
AW0448 - is about to become more powerful than ever.
AW0450 - ..
AW0451 - 4. November 14th, 2011 marks the release of Intel?s Sandy
AW0452 - Bridge-E microarchitecture and its companion X79 Express
AW0453 - chipset. Sandy Bridge-E is the ?tock? in Intel?s tick-tock
AW0454 - release schedule cadence, that bridges the gap between current
AW0455 - Sandy Bridge processors and next year?s Ivy Bridge
AW0456 - microarchitecture. The first processor to arrive in the SBE
AW0457 - line-up is the Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition, a six-core chip
AW0458 - poised to knock Intel?s aging Gulftown-based processors from
AW0459 - their position atop the PC food chain, one that they've held
AW0460 - for almost two years.
AW0462 - ..
AW0463 - 5. We've got a Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition in house, along with
AW0464 - a handful of X79 Express-based motherboards, and have pitted
AW0465 - them against an assortment of high-end processors in an array
AW0466 - of benchmark scenarios. Our results are laid out for you on
AW0467 - the pages ahead, but before we get to the juicy performance
AW0468 - details, let?s get some of the particulars out of the way

AW0575 - 7. Before we get to the technical details regarding Sandy Bridge-E
AW0576 - and the Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition processor, Intel asked us
AW0577 - to get the word out regarding a joint promotion they?re working
AW0578 - on with NewEgg to usher in their newest products, dubbed
AW0579 - 32-in-32.
AW0581 - ..
AW0582 - Motherboard - X79 Express-based DX79SI
AW0583 -
AW0584 - 8. Our evaluation kit arrived in elaborate packaging that opened
AW0585 - up to reveal multiple levels inside. On the first level we
AW0586 - found an Intel RTS2011LC thermal solution, a Sony Bloggie
AW0587 - video camera, and an Intel 510 Series SSD. On another level
AW0588 - was the Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition packaging, and on yet
AW0589 - another was the X79 Express-based DX79SI motherboard. Each
AW0590 - level was also adorned with a different QR code that pointed
AW0591 - to various promotional materials. The goal of the elaborate
AW0592 - packaging was to inform us that this is no ordinary product
AW0593 - launch and that our readers could win some of this gear. Below
AW0594 - is the low-down on the 32-in-32 promotion straight for the
AW0595 - horse?s mouth...
AW0597 - ..
AW0598 - 9. Sandy Bridge-E, and by extension the Core i7-3960X Extreme
AW0599 - Edition, has a lot in common with the Sandy Bridge
AW0600 - microarchitecture, which arrived earlier this year with the
AW0601 - Core i7-2600K and other members of the second generation Intel
AW0602 - Core processor...

AW0607 - rehashing many of the details again here, but we would suggest
AW0608 - checking out a few previous articles if you?d like more details
AW0609 - regarding Intel?s Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, Smart Cache, and

AW0621 - 10. In our Core i7-2600K and Core i5-2500K launch article, we go
AW0622 - in-depth on the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture and cover many
AW0623 - details that are pertinent to today?s launch as well. In our
AW0624 - Core i7-2820QM coverage, we outline more architectural details
AW0625 - and in on our Intel Z68 Express with Smart Response Technology
AW0626 - article, we detail Intel?s SSD caching technology, a.k.a SRT.
AW0627 -
AW0628 - Image Intel Sandy Bridge E-Die Map
AW0630 - ..
AW0631 - 11. As we?ve mentioned, Sandy Bridge-E shares many of the same
AW0632 - features of the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture, but as the ?E?
AW0633 - denotes, SBE is more extreme. What you see pictured above is a
AW0634 - die map of a Sandy Bridge-E based Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition
AW0635 - processor. The chip is manufactured using Intel?s advanced
AW0636 - 32nm process node and features roughly 2.27 billion
AW0637 - transistors. The die size is approximately 434.7mm2 (20.8 mm x
AW0638 - 20.9 mm).
AW0640 - ..
AW0641 - Intel 8-core Technology Future Processing Improvement
AW0642 -
AW0643 - 12. The initial batch of processors based on the Sandy Bridge-E
AW0644 - microarchitecture will feature 6 active execution cores that
AW0645 - can each process two threads simultaneously courtesy of Intel?s
AW0646 - Hyper-Threading technology, for support of a total of 12
AW0647 - threads. Although, you?ll notice in the die map that there are
AW0648 - actually two cores dormant in the chip. The die actually has
AW0649 - eight cores, but due to power and yield constraints with the
AW0650 - current revision, only six are active at this time. We asked
AW0651 - when / if an 8-core SBE would ship and were of course told that
AW0652 - Intel doesn?t comment on unreleased products, but you can bet
AW0653 - the farm they?ll be coming at some point. The actual cores are
AW0654 - essentially identical to the original Sandy Bridge
AW0655 - microarchitecture and support the same Intel AVX and AES
AW0656 - instructions, along with SSE4.1, SSE4.2, etc.
AW0658 - ..
AW0659 - 13. Sandy Bridge-E based processors like the Core i7-3960X Extreme
AW0660 - Edition are designed for a new socket, LGA 2011, and require a
AW0661 - compatible motherboard built around the new X79 Express chipset
AW0662 - (more on that later). The processors will support up to 15MB
AW0663 - of shared L3 Intel Smart Cache, although there is actually 20MB
AW0664 - on die (the remaining L3 is disabled along with those other two
AW0665 - cores), and feature integrated quad-channel memory controllers
AW0666 - with official support for DDR3 memory at speeds up to 1600MHz,
AW0667 - although higher speeds are possible through overclocking.
AW0669 - ..
AW0670 - 14. Sandy Bridge-E based processors also feature 40 integrated
AW0671 - lanes of PCI Express connectivity, that support speeds
AW0672 - equivalent to the 8GT/s PCI Express 3.0 specification. Intel
AW0673 - won?t be designating the lanes as PCIe 3.0 compliant at this
AW0674 - time, however, because the company has been unable to qualify
AW0675 - them with the necessary PCIe 3.0 compliant add in boards, which
AW0676 - don?t exist just yet.
AW0678 - ..
AW0679 - Image Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition
AW0680 - Processor CPU-Z Details
AW0682 - ..
AW0683 - 15. The Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition processor we'll be
AW0684 - featuring here today has a base clock frequency of 3.3GHz with
AW0685 - a maximum Turbo frequency of 3.9GHz. It achieves those clocks
AW0686 - using a BCLK of 100MHz (mistakenly labeled bus speed in the
AW0687 - image above) and multipliers ranging from 33 to 39, although
AW0688 - lower and higher multipliers are available with this unlocked
AW0689 - processor. The chip sports 192K of L1 data cache (32K per
AW0690 - core), 192K of L1 instruction cache (32K per core), and 1.5MB
AW0691 - of L2 cache (256K per core). The Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition
AW0692 - is also outfitted with 15MB of shared L3 cache, although
AW0693 - lower-end variants of the chip will have 12MB (or potentially
AW0694 - less).
AW0696 - ..
AW0697 - 16. The chip has a 130W TDP similar to Intel?s current high-end
AW0698 - Gulftown-based processors and has a .95 to 1v base input
AW0699 - voltage, although that voltage will automatically scale upwards
AW0700 - when higher multipliers are used, when Turbo Boost frequencies
AW0701 - kick in, for example.
AW0703 - ..
AW0704 - Arriving alongside the new Sandy Bridge-E based Core i7
AW0705 - desktop processors is Intel?s X79 Express chipset. Below is a
AW0706 - high-level block diagram of the X79 Express chipset, which is
AW0707 - targeted at the high-performance and enthusiast market
AW0708 - segments.
AW0709 -
AW0710 - Image Intel X79 Express Chipset Block Diagram
AW0712 - ..
AW0713 - 17. Like most recent chipsets for Intel?s current processors, the
AW0714 - X79 Express is essentially an I/O hub, as all of the
AW0715 - traditional Northbridge functionality is integrated into the
AW0716 - processor itself. As you can see, LGA2011 Sandy Bridge-E
AW0717 - processors offer a whopping 40 lanes of PCI Express
AW0718 - connectivity and feature an integrated quad-channel DDR3 memory
AW0719 - controller. The PCIe links can be arranged in any number of
AW0720 - configurations, and although they?re listed as PCI Express 2.0
AW0721 - here, these integrated PCI Express lanes actually support PCI
AW0722 - Express 3.0 speeds. We?re told the lack of PCI Express 3.0
AW0723 - GPUs and peripherals at this time have prevented Intel from
AW0724 - definitively qualifying the Sandy Bridge-E?s integrated PCI
AW0725 - Express lanes as PCI Express 3.0 capable, so they?re not being
AW0726 - labeled as such. However, the functionality does exist, once
AW0727 - testing and qualification is complete.
AW0729 - ..
AW0730 - 18. The processors are linked to the chipset via a 20Gb/s interface
AW0731 - (DMI) and the X79 Express is outfitted with 8 more PCIe 2.0
AW0732 - lanes, along with various other I/O options, like USB 2.0 (14
AW0733 - ports), six SATA ports (2 x SATA III), an integrated Gigabit
AW0734 - MAC, HD audio, etc. We should point out that the X79 Express
AW0735 - has native support for SATA 6Gbs on two of its ports, but not
AW0736 - USB 3.0. USB 3.0 is only available through the use of
AW0737 - third-party controllers like those from VIA, Reneasas / NEC, or
AW0738 - ASMedia.

AW0745 - ..
AW0746 - DX79SI Motherboard Exploits X79 Express Chipset
AW0747 -
AW0748 - 19. To showcase the X79 Express chipset, Intel has designed and
AW0749 - built a high-end motherboard dubbed the DX79SI (codename:
AW0750 - Siler). The DX79SI exploits all of the features inherent to
AW0751 - the X79 Express chipset and adds a few more, like USB 3.0 and
AW0752 - Firewire, through the use of third-party controllers. The
AW0753 - board features ?BIOS Vault? technology, which essentially acts
AW0754 - as a backup BIOS / UEFI in the event of a bad flash or malware
AW0755 - attack. It also features Intel?s ?Fast Boot? technology, which
AW0756 - speeds the boot process by eliminating the need to complete a
AW0757 - full POST when the hardware and configuration of the system is
AW0758 - unchanged from the previous boot. The DX79SI also supports
AW0759 - Extreme Memory Profiles (XMP) for easy high-speed memory
AW0760 - configuration and even includes an extensive set of
AW0761 - overclocking tools. And those tools are not only available via
AW0762 - the BIOS / UEFI, but also through a Windows-based application
AW0763 - called the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, or Intel XTU. XTU
AW0764 - gives users the ability to tweak numerous performance-related
AW0765 - options and monitors system temperatures and fan speeds. ?One
AW0766 - Touch? overclocking options are also available for those that
AW0767 - want a quick and easy speed boost, without doing much tweaking.
AW0769 - ..
AW0770 - 20. The DX79SI uses the same black and blue color scheme of many
AW0771 - previous enthusiast-class Intel-built motherboards and it
AW0772 - features heavy-duty heatsinks for the chipset and voltage
AW0773 - regulation modules. In addition, the DX79SI offers four
AW0774 - SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports, two IEEE 1394a ports (1 external, 1
AW0775 - via internal header), and 14 USB 2.0 ports (6 external ports in
AW0776 - the IO backplane, 8 via internal headers). The board also
AW0777 - sports a couple of integrated power and reset switches, solid
AW0778 - capacitors, and a POST code error reporter, along with a number
AW0779 - of LED status indicators. Finally, the board is outfitted with
AW0780 - three PCI Express x16 slots, with full support for both
AW0781 - NVIDIA?s SLI and AMD?s CrossFire multi-GPU technologies.

AW0785 - Active Thermal Solution RTS2011LC Liquid Cooling System
AW0786 - Standard Circular Air Cooler Earlier High-end Processors
AW0787 -
AW0788 - 21. Cooling: Although Intel will be producing a standard air
AW0789 - cooler that resembles the circular units offered with Gulftown
AW0790 - and earlier high-end processors, a self-contained liquid
AW0791 - cooling system was included with our test kit. The Intel
AW0792 - Active Thermal Solution RTS2011LC, as it is known, is produced
AW0793 - by Asetek and is compatible with Intel Core processors for
AW0794 - LGA2011 / 1366 / 1155 / 1156 sockets. Please note, however,
AW0795 - Intel WILL NOT be including a cooler with boxed Sandy Bridge-E
AW0796 - based processors. Because they are targeted at enthusiasts,
AW0797 - Intel believes users will be likely to want a high-end thermal
AW0798 - solution and are not bundling the chips with basic coolers as
AW0799 - they have done in the past.

AW0818 - CFM, 21 dBA@ 800 RPM, 35 dBA@ 2200 RPM), a 150mm x 118mm x
AW0819 - 37mm radiator, a high efficiency cooler block, and a new heat
AW0820 - exchanger design that differed from other Asetek LCLC
AW0821 - solutions. According to Intel, at equivalent acoustic levels
AW0822 - and at full processor power (130W) the RTS2011LC can achieve a
AW0823 - 7°C cooler CPU core temperature than Intel?s highest
AW0824 - performance air cooling thermal solution. In addition, the
AW0825 - RTS2011LC runs 10 dBA quieter than the high performance air
AW0826 - cooling solution when running in performance mode.
AW0828 - ..
AW0829 - 23. We found the RTS2011LC to be relatively easy to install and
AW0830 - performance and acoustics were relatively good. The
AW0831 - installation on an LGA2011 motherboard requires little more
AW0832 - than properly positioning a retention ring around the base and
AW0833 - securing it in place with four thumbscrews. Then the radiator
AW0834 - and fan assembly gets mounted in an available fan location
AW0835 - using some screws, and that?s it.
AW0837 - ..
AW0838 - 24. Memory: To coincide with the release of Sandy Bridge-E and the
AW0839 - X79 chipset, a number of Intel?s memory partners are at the
AW0840 - ready with quad-channel memory kits optimized for the new
AW0841 - platform. We got our hands on a couple of kits from G.SKILL
AW0842 - and Corsair and have them pictured for you below.

AW0847 - ..
AW0848 - 25. Intel has also defined a new Extreme Memory Profile (XMP 1.3)
AW0849 - specification, for easy optimization and overclocking. The
AW0850 - G.SKILL RipJaws Z memory kit you see here consists of four,
AW0851 - 4GB, DDR3-1866 sticks of memory (total 16GB), model number
AW0852 - F3-14900CLQ9-16GBZL. The sticks run at only 1.5v with
AW0853 - CL9-10-9-28 timings, and are XMP 1.3 compatible. This is the
AW0854 - memory kit we used for all of our SBE testing, on four
AW0855 - different motherboards, and it ran perfectly throughout

AW0865 - 26. Corsair will also be offering a number of Sandy Bridge-E / X79
AW0866 - optimized memory kits, two of which are pictured above. Both
AW0867 - of the kits you see here are 16GB, quad-channel offerings,
AW0868 - consisting of four, 4GB DIMMs. The black kit is model number
AW0869 - CMZ16GX3M4X1600C9 and the red kit is CMZ16GX3M4X18666C9R. As
AW0870 - their model names imply, the black kit is rated for operation
AW0871 - at 1600MHz and the red at 1866MHz. Both kits require 1.5v, but
AW0872 - the black kit will run at CL9-9-9-24 timings, while the red is
AW0873 - rated for CL9-10-9-27.

AW0887 -
AW0888 - 28. Test System Configuration Notes: When configuring our test
AW0889 - systems for this article, we first entered their respective
AW0890 - system BIOSes / UEFI and set each board to its "Optimized" or
AW0891 - "High performance Defaults". We then saved the settings,
AW0892 - re-entered the BIOS and set the memory frequency to the
AW0893 - maximum officially supported frequency for the given platform.
AW0894 - SSDs were then formatted, and Windows 7 Ultimate x64 was
AW0895 - installed.

AW1035 - Java Script Test
AW1036 -
AW1037 - Next up, we have some numbers from the SunSpoder JavaScript
AW1038 - benchmark. According to the SunSpider website:
AW1039 -
AW1040 - This benchmark tests the core JavaScript language only, not
AW1041 - the DOM or other browser APIs. It is designed to compare
AW1042 - different versions of the same browser, and different browsers
AW1043 - to each other. Unlike many widely available JavaScript
AW1044 - benchmarks, this test is:
AW1045 -
AW1046 - 1. Real World - This test mostly avoids microbenchmarks, and
AW1047 - tries to focus on the kinds of actual problems developers
AW1048 - solve with JavaScript today, and the problems they may want
AW1049 - to tackle in the future as the language gets faster. This
AW1050 - includes tests to generate a tagcloud from JSON input, a 3D
AW1051 - raytracer, cryptography tests, code decompression, and many
AW1052 - more examples. There are a few microbenchmarkish things,
AW1053 - but they mostly represent real performance problems that
AW1054 - developers have encountered.
AW1056 - ..
AW1057 - 2. Balanced - This test is balanced between different areas of
AW1058 - the language and different types of code. It's not all
AW1059 - math, all string processing, or all timing simple loops.
AW1060 - In addition to having tests in many categories, the
AW1061 - individual tests were balanced to take similar amounts of
AW1062 - time on currently shipping versions of popular browsers.
AW1064 - ..
AW1065 - 3. Statistically Sound - One of the challenges of benchmarking
AW1066 - is knowing how much noise you have in your measurements.
AW1067 - This benchmark runs each test multiple times and determines
AW1068 - an error range (technically, a 95% confidence interval).
AW1069 - In addition, in comparison mode it tells you if you have
AW1070 - enough data to determine if the difference is statistically
AW1071 - significant.
AW1073 - ..
AW1074 - 35. All of the systems were testing using the latest version of
AW1075 - Internet Explorer 9, with default browser settings, on a clean

AW1091 - 37. Clearly the Sandy Bridge architecture at work in the Core
AW1092 - i7-3960X Extreme Edition and Core i7-2700K offers the best
AW1093 - performance here due to its high Turbo frequencies, as is
AW1094 - evidenced by their similar, class-leading performance. The
AW1095 - Core i7-990X finished about 25ms behind and the FX-8150 trailed
AW1096 - by about 82ms.

AW1108 - 38. We also spent some time overclocking our Core i7-3960X Extreme
AW1109 - Edition sample using Intel?s own DX79SI motherboard and the
AW1110 - Asus P9X79 Deluxe, with similar results.

AW1114 - ..
AW1115 - 39. Like the first batch of Sandy Bridge-based second generation
AW1116 - Intel Core processors, new Sandy Bridge-E based processors
AW1117 - offer limited flexibility when overclocking via BCLK
AW1118 - manipulation. If you want to tweak CPU and memory frequencies
AW1119 - via the BCLK, it can only be increased by a few MHz (think
AW1120 - 3-5MHz) maximum.
AW1122 - ..
AW1123 - 40. However, with Sandy Bridge-E, two new BCLK multiples or straps
AW1124 - are also available, that were not offered on earlier Sandy
AW1125 - Bridge processors. With Sandy Bridge, only a 100MHz BCLK is
AW1126 - available, but with Sandy Bridge-E 100MHz, 125MHz, and 166MHz
AW1127 - BCLK frequencies are also possible. In addition, like K series
AW1128 - SKUs, the Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition is fully unlocked; so
AW1129 - CPU, Turbo, and Memory frequencies can be easily altered
AW1130 - through multiplier manipulation as well.
AW1132 - ..
AW1133 - 41. With a chip as large and complex as the Intel Core i7-3960X
AW1134 - Extreme Edition, power and cooling considerations are very
AW1135 - important when overclocking. At its stock configuration the
AW1136 - Core i7-3960X is a rated for 130W, but power consumption and
AW1137 - heat output can shoot up considerably when the chip is pushed
AW1138 - well beyond spec. As such, Intel has incorporated options to
AW1139 - increase voltages and specify peak current thresholds too. The
AW1140 - new options and power / heat considerations add some wrinkles
AW1141 - and complexity to the overclocking process, but we still found
AW1142 - overclocking SBE to be quite easy and very fruitful.

AW1148 - 42. Our friends at Asus, who have tested a large number of chips,
AW1149 - tell us that most Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition processors can
AW1150 - easily hit 4.5GHz with good air or liquid cooling. 80-90% of
AW1151 - the CPUs can hit up to 4.6GHz, 60-70% can do 4.7GHz, and
AW1152 - approximately 50% of the CPUs can hit the 4.8GHz mark with the
AW1153 - right combination of voltage (1.4v to 1.5v) and a powerful
AW1154 - liquid cooler. Although the options are there to disable
AW1155 - SpeedStep and various C states, overclocking SBE is really as
AW1156 - easy as finding the right combo of voltage, BCLK, and peak
AW1157 - Turbo frequencies. By altering those options and leaving
AW1158 - SpeedStep, etc. enabled, the processor can still clock-down
AW1159 - when not under load, minimizing power consumption and heat
AW1160 - output.
AW1162 - ..
AW1163 - 43. Using Intel?s RTS2011LC thermal solution, we were able to take
AW1164 - our particular Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition processor all the
AW1165 - way up to 4.75GHz using a 125MHz BCLK and a peak all-core
AW1166 - Turbo multiplier of 38. At that speed, however, we were
AW1167 - pushing the limits of the RTS2011LC thermal solution as the
AW1168 - processor would approach the 90 C mark after long periods of
AW1169 - sustained load. At 91ºC, the chip will begin to throttle. At
AW1170 - 4.75GHz, the Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition processor put up a
AW1171 - Cinebench 11.5 MT score of 13.89.
AW1173 - ..
AW1174 - 44. We also spent some time using the ?easy? overclocking tools
AW1175 - available on Intel?s and Asus? X79 boards with success.
AW1176 - Hitting the ?High Performance? performance option on Asus?
AW1177 - board, for example, yielded a peak CPU frequency of about
AW1178 - 4.2GHz, with only a single click in the UEFI. And at that
AW1179 - speed, the chip barely broke a sweat, running at about 75?C
AW1180 - under load.

AW1195 - 46. Before bringing this article to a close, we'd also like to say
AW1196 - a bit about power consumption. Throughout all of our
AW1197 - benchmarking and testing, we monitored how much power our Intel
AW1198 - Core i7-3960X-based test system was consuming with a power
AW1199 - meter, versus other test systems we used for benchmark
AW1200 - comparisons on the previous pages. Our goal was to give you an
AW1201 - idea as to how much power each configuration used while idling
AW1202 - at the Windows desktop and while under a heavy CPU workload.
AW1203 - Keep in mind, this is total system power consumption being
AW1204 - measured at the outlet and not the the individual power of the
AW1205 - CPUs alone.

AW1228 - 48. The Core i7-3960X ended up consuming somewhat less power than
AW1229 - the six-core Core i7-990X under both idle and load conditions,
AW1230 - but considerably more than the quad-core Core i7-2700K. The
AW1231 - Core i7-3960X's idle and load power was also somewhat higher
AW1232 - than the AMD FX-8150, but considering the massive performance
AW1233 - increases offered by the Core i7-3960X, using a bit more power
AW1234 - is easily justified.

AW1244 - ..
AW1245 - As we mentioned earlier, overclocking the Core i7-3960X can
AW1246 - result in large increases in power consumption. To demonstrate
AW1247 - this, we also monitored power consumption with the chip
AW1248 - running at its stock configuration and while overclocked to
AW1249 - 4.2GHz and 4.7GHz. As you can see, power consumption jumped up
AW1250 - almost 200 watts with the chip overclocked to 4.7GHz.

AW1254 - Conclusion - i7-3960X Fastest Processor to Date
AW1255 -
AW1256 - 50. Performance Summary: The Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition
AW1257 - is the fastest desktop processor we have tested to date, bar
AW1258 - none. In all of our multi-threaded benchmarks, the higher
AW1259 - Turbo Boost frequencies and additional compute resources of the
AW1260 - six-core Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition allowed it to easily
AW1261 - overtake every other processor we tested, including the
AW1262 - six-core Core i7-990X and pseudo eight-core AMD FX-8150. In
AW1263 - our single and dual-threaded tests, the Core i7-3960X Extreme
AW1264 - Edition also offered excellent performance and outpaced every
AW1265 - other processor, save for the Core i7-2700K which features a
AW1266 - similar microarchitecture and peak Turbo Boost frequencies.
AW1267 - The Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition also proved to be an
AW1268 - excellent overclocker.
AW1270 - ..
AW1271 - Intel will initially be releasing two Sandy Bridge-E based
AW1272 - desktop processors, the Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition we
AW1273 - featured here and the slightly lower-clocked Core i7-3930K.
AW1274 - Both of the processors are unlocked for more flexible
AW1275 - overclocking, and they both feature six cores (12 threads),
AW1276 - 130W TDPs, and quad-channel memory controllers. The Core
AW1277 - i7-3930K, however, is outfitted with ?only? 12MB of L3 cache,
AW1278 - whereas the Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition has 15MB, and the
AW1279 - Core i7-3930K?s base and peak Turbo Boost frequencies are
AW1280 - 100MHz lower. As such, the Core i7-3930K will be somewhat more
AW1281 - affordable at $555, while the flagship Core i7-3960X Extreme
AW1282 - Edition will command $990. As has always been the case with
AW1283 - top-of-the-line desktop processors, you?ll have to pay to play
AW1284 - with the Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition. A higher clocked
AW1285 - quad-core variant with 10MB of L3 cache is also coming at some
AW1286 - point in Q1 of next year.

AW1291 - ..
AW1292 - 51. Put simply, the Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition is the most
AW1293 - powerful desktop processor available on the market. Period.
AW1294 - When paired to its companion X79 Express chipset, the two make
AW1295 - for the most potent foundation of a desktop system yet, whether
AW1296 - it be for gaming, content creation or productivity. Even so,
AW1297 - there are still a couple of execution cores lying dormant in
AW1298 - the processor which will likely be unleashed at some point in
AW1299 - the future, when / if Intel re-spins the chip to tame its power
AW1300 - requirements. Considering how powerful the platform is now, we
AW1301 - shudder to think what the next version of SBE will do, if Intel
AW1302 - takes that route, of course. And why wouldn't they?
