Once again, Intel takes their top processor and makes it even faster and more overclockable to achieve the best performance you can get today.
With Nehalem architecture, Intel raised the CPU performance bar to a level that AMD has not been able to reach yet. Now Intel pushes it up even further by dropping a new top CPU on the market. But, is it worth the money?
Looking back at the past seven months, the Core i7 965 Extreme Edition is arguably the fastest stock consumer level CPU you can purchase right now. It is quite simply a monster. When we first looked at the i7 965 we were amazed at its power and headroom. For the first time we saw Lightwave single frame 1080i renders in less than three minutes and that is something that had never happened before. In fact, the quad-core Core i7 at 3.2 GHz even beat out the fastest 3.2 GHz Octa-Core Mac Pros out at the time [their times were just over 3 minutes for the same frame].
