If you still think that the most powerful processor from a family of Core i7 is 965 Extreme Edition, the information you have, to put it mildly, a bit outdated. The point is that Intel has already prepared a new flagship, and its full name - Core i7 975 Extreme Edition, and its output, only the case of time. This model has a very high efficiency, in addition, has a higher upper potential than the Core i7 965EE. This was today told two experienced disperse from XtremeSystems - Fugger and Mikeguava, says Fudzilla.
It should be noted that although the nominal clock speed Core i7 975 EE by only 133 MHz higher than that of Core i7 965 EE (3,33 GHz to 3,2 GHz), but according to the Fugger, the new upper capacity of the processor is much higher. According to them, the test platform was built based on the EX58 Extreme motherboard and two graphics cards Radeon HD 4870 X2. Without much trouble, they dispersed the Core i7 975 EE to 5259 MHz. This test platform has managed to gain 47026 points in 3DMark 05 testing, and a new world record for desktop systems.
Note that while it is only on the engineering sample Core i7 975, but no one doubts that after the debut of the processor will set new records as the rain from the horn of plenty. According to preliminary data, this "monster" will be released at the scene sometime in March, it is possible that in June.
In short, Phenom II X4 rest!
