BX80633i74960X CPU Review (Intel Core i7-4960X)

CPU reviews

<![CDATA[

4960X
›Intel was created in 1968 by two scientists, Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore. Intel made the first microprocessor in 1971. Intel continues to create and advance the reach of computing while advancing the everyday lives of how people work and live all around the world. The Intel Core series is very well-known for quality and performance and is currently used by many people across the world. Their main goal as a company is to simply expand the world of technology in the computing department and to simply let others thrive with their products.
The CPU that I will be reviewing today is the BX80633i74960X, or the Intel Core i7-4960X. The processor is a 6-Core as well as being LGA 2011. The number in front of core is simply the number of cores within the processor. (The more there are can potentially mean that it is faster!) The number following LGA is simply the number of pins that the motherboard will accept from a CPU, therefore being the required type of motherboard that the CPU must have. If you would like to look more in-depth you can find more information here.
Specifications:
  • ›CPU Clock Speed: 3.6 GHz
  • ›Supported BUS Speeds: 5 GT/s
  • ›Cache:
  • ›L1: 6×32 KB Instruction / 6×32 KB Data
  • ›L2: 6×256 KB
  • ›L3: 15 MB
  • ›Socket type: LGA 2011
  • ›Number of processors: 6
This processor has extremely quick speeds and is one of the best processors of its kind. Keep in mind that this product is very expensive and is recommended for either High-End gaming or video/photo rendering at high rates. This product can be purchased for $1025.99 over at Newegg. I would highly recommend this processor to anyone willing to spend the extra cash to have an immense performance boost. Overall, this CPU is very expensive, however the speeds it brings to the PC crushes its competitors and is definitely worth the extra money put into it.

Intel Celeron G1620 CPU Review

CPU reviews, NT IT Reviews

<![CDATA[If you need a processor for a home or business computer this could be the CPU for you! Personally I believe that Celeron processors get a lot of flak which they don't deserve. Keep in mind this should not be used for gaming, however it is great for all sorts of business uses. This processor is made by the reliable company Intel. Intel is headquartered in Santa Clara, California. Intel is the world’s largest and highest valued semiconductor chip maker. It is the inventor of the x86 series of microprocessors, the processors found in most personal computers. (Wikipedia)
cpu
 
When looking at the specs I know you will agree it’s perfect for any work assignments or home recreational uses that you might need done:

  • Clock speed: 2.7 GHz
  • Bus speed: 5 GT/s DMI

Cache:

  •  L1: 2 x 32 KB instruction caches
  •  L2: 2 x 256 KB
  •  L3: Shared 2 MB
Cache is a very important part of the entire PC. Without any cache your home computer is significantly slower! Think of it like this: Somebody ask you a question, and you can give the answer right off the top of your head. Now they ask you a question but this time you have to look through a notebook. That is a lot slower then just using your brain. That is the difference between CPU cache and RAM memory.  Cache is immediate to the CPU allowing it to finish task faster.
The CPU socket type is: Socket 1155 / H2 / LGA1155, and the CPU is dual core. (Intel)
As you can see this CPU isn’t the greatest to try and play your video games, but if all you are doing is checking email and using word this is the CPU for you! Honestly this is the best bang for your buck on those home and business systems. The price tag is a huge plus coming in at only $58.99. This is the same price as a new video game. It also has the 5 egg rating to back up the reasons for buying!
