This CPU is an AM3+ socket with a CPU speed of 4GHz with a speed of 4.2GHz with turbo. It has 8 cores, technically 4 cores, with 8 hyper threaded, but I digress, with 4 x 2 MB of L2 Cache and 8 MB of L3 Cache. this processor will give you the best power that you need, without taking a huge hole out of your pocket. The price of this particular CPU is $179.99 and is a very reliable CPU for this price.
Personally, this is one of my favorite processors, just for the simple fact that it can keep up with the higher end products and other CPU’s, while having a very reasonable price for the capability this CPU carries.

Intel® Core™ i7-6700K Processor Review!
<
Gaming CPU
In 1968 by Gordon E. Moore founded Intel. Originally Intel was the only CPU manufacturer, but has grown some competition. Despite the competition Intel remains the leading CPU manufacturer The headquarters for Intel is located in, Santa Clara, California.
This CPU will fit a LGA 1152 6th generation socket. It is a great gaming PC CPU. Even though this is a high-end CPU you can also place it in any PC with an Intel LGA1151 socket. It would be great for gaming, but if you just want to add a high powered CPU to your PC, you can. I would not recommend it though, unless you plan on upgrading all parts to match the level of the CPU. Below are some specifications on the CPU.
Cores: 4
Threads: 8
Base Speed: 4.00Ghz
Turbo Speed: 4.20Ghz
Power Used: 91w
Socket: LGA1151
Cache: L2- 4x 256KB, L3 8MB
This CPU would be great for a gamin PC. Although it is a bit pricey on the Intel website for, $339.00 – $350.00. You will be satisfied with it if you decide to purchase it, but if you are looking for something different I am confident that you can find it on Intel’s webpage.
Note: This review is part of a classroom project.

AMD FX-9590 Review

AMD FX-9590 Review
My first impressions of the CPU is that its packaging is pretty low quality for what you’re buying. This processor is supposed to be one of AMD’s best processors, yet it comes in a flimsy cardboard box with little to no protection for the processor.
This CPU has an AM3+ socket and it has four cores with eight threads. As for caches, there are four 2MB L2 caches and 8MB L3 cache. It has a very fast speed of 5.0 Ghz in Turbo Speed (4.7GHz at regular clockspeed) with 220w TDP. With a passmark rating of 10270 (at the time of writing this), we can tell that this is a good CPU.
This CPU runs for $199.99 on sale at Newegg, where it would usually run for $239.99 without the sale. Overall, I believe the motherboard is a great value for the performance it puts out. The packaging put me off at the beginning, but the performance of this CPU definitely balanced it out in favor of the processor.

BX80633i74960X CPU Review (Intel Core i7-4960X)
<
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.
