The Intel Ivy Bridge-E SKUs are a welcomed addition to the Intel X79 platform and socket LGA 2011. The performance improvements weren't massive, but there was a noticeable performance gain in the vast majority of the benchmarks we used. This will likely d...
Daily Computing Performance is actually less than 4770K
The major advantages of the 4th Generation Extreme Core i7 4960X over its predecessor are the increase in Compute power, power consumption and the die shrinkage. With an MSI GTX 780 Lightning, idle power consumption hovered between 80 and 81W. During da...
Well, let's get the obvious part out of the way. This processor is expensive. At roughly a kilobuck each, the slight of wallet aren't going to be considering this platform. However, there is good news too – the i7 4960X is indeed the strongest CPU Intel...

Does Intel's Core i7-4960X, specifically, get me all revved up about upgrading? Well, no. Not really. But then again, those thousand-dollar CPUs rarely do. What about the Core i7-4930K replacing Intel's -3930K for $550? That'd be a tough sell for all of t...
