Intel Core i7-975 Extreme Edition-The fastest desktop processor in the world!

The Core i7-975 Extreme is Intel’s new speed demon that has set a new benchmark in the desktop computing space. Clocked at 3.33 GHz, this CPU is a notch higher than the former most powerful model, the Core i7-965, thanks to a bumped up multiplier (from x24 to x25). Intel has also applied a few minor tweaks which include improved thermals and better memory overclocking.

When installed the CPU on the Intel DX58SO along with 4 GB DDR3-1066 RAM and threw a couple of rigorous tests at it. It encoded a one minute MPEG video to x.264 format in 13 seconds which is just 3 seconds faster than the Core i7-965. To give you an idea about its immense processing power — it’s twice as fast as the Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400!

Extremely demanding applications such as 3D modeling, imaging, page layout, and video editing will make best use of this processor’s immense potential—ideal for heavy-duty workstations. But it hardly impacts gaming performance. Go in for this CPU at Rs. 59,940 if you’re ready to spend another Rs 25,000 for a decent X58 motherboard and 6 GB DDR3 RAM.

Package type: LGA 1366; Speed: 3.33 GHz; Cores: 4; Fab process: 45 nm; L3 cache: 8 MB.
