Killer MultiThread Performance, Huge Cache, HaswellBased EUs, Lower Power
Pricey, Relatively Low Clocks, Lower Single Thread Perf In Some Tests
Intel Core i7 and Core i7 Extreme Processor PackagingThe Core i7-5960X and X99 chipset mark the first major overhaul to Intel's enthusiast-class desktop line-up since 2011, when Sandy Bridge-E and the X79 Express first hit the scene. In many respects, Has...
Abstract: It was a glorious thing when Intel released its Gulftown-based Core i7-980X in early 2010. It was the first desktop CPU out of the company that featured six cores, and it felt like a relative boon to those, like me, who run virtual machines, encode video,...
Again we apologize for this brief look at Intel's latest enthusiast platform. Two days of testing is absolutely any reviewers nightmare to explore a totally new platform plus memory. On top of that the non retail motherboard we used for testing also was n...
Where should we begin? The Intel Core i7-5960X is an impressive processor from a multi-thread perspective. In applications where you can fully utilize the 8-cores and 16-threads there are significant performance improvements to be had. The down side to ha...
The new Haswell-E processor is a great piece of engineering and technology from Intel. I am extremely happy to see that it did not let the marketing department run off at the mouth this time around as well. Most of Intel's technology does better at the in...

I'd say we've compiled enough performance data. Let's summarize with a couple of our infamous power-performance scatter plots. The first one is based on a geometric mean of all of our non-gaming application tests, and the second one focuses on our frame-...
Benchmark Reviews is hard at work evaluating this new CPU with an ASUS X99-DELUXE motherboard and 16GB of Corsair DDR4 memory, and we'll have the results for you soon. Given that the individual cores in the Intel Core i7-5960X processor should be virtual...

Abstract: Hot damn this is some quick, expensive silicon. But even though this brand new, $1,000 eight-core, sixteen thread, Core i7 5960X processing monster is capable of some serious number-crunching, it's probably not the CPU you're really looking for.The i7 596...

Epic 8 core – 16 thread computing, Improved thermal design works!, Overclockable up to 4.6 GHz (so far), Best of class performance
Premium performance at a premium cost
As usual, multi-core power reigns supreme, at least in CPU intensive tasks. The Intel Core i7-5960X is a content creation tool at heart, but there's nothing wrong with using it to build a monster system for gaming as well. Professional content creators a...

There are a lot of directions to go with the conclusion to this review. But let's start here: the Intel Core i7-5960X is easily the fastest consumer processor we have ever had in our hands. With eight Haswell processing cores, and the ability to handle 16...
