Does the Intel Core I7 Live Up to the Hype?

Alex Smith
When we received the latest Intel processor, the Intel Core i7 Processor, we thought we had the best. Until the release of the Intel Core i7 Extreme Processor!

The Extreme processor truly lives up to its name, in every way, shape, and form. It adds even better performance to a top-notch processor, bringing in a break-neck speed of over 3.2 Ghz. Intel has really outdone itself this time, bringing to you and me a pc perfect for anyone interesting in gaming, music, or whatever else you might have a need for.

Now, you might ask...how does it stack up against its predecessor? Well, the Extreme features a complete new architectural basis. This basis has basically been built from the ground up to give you extreme power throughout your user time. Forget the slow days of communication, the new Quick Path Interconnect bus is one of the reasons that the Intel Extreme is so powerful!

Actually, the i7 Extreme takes the cake by being the worlds fastest performing processor! Games, video, music, whatever...the Extreme does it all, and does it at a 25% faster multitasking rate and with a 79% increase in the encoding speed! Also, image coding is about 45% faster, so forget those slow loading times when it comes to images!

The Intel i7 Extreme processor features Turbo Boost technology, as well as Inter Hyper Threading technology, so that you can expect your processors capacity for excellence to be upped tenfold. When the processor was released in January in Japan, it was immediately expected that it would change the way processors are built forever.

So, if you are in the market for a new pc, you should definitely give this one a shot. But, there is just one problem... if you try it, than you will have to buy it, because you will wonder how you ever lived without it. It truly is the best you can get, and you can count on that.

    I've always bought top of the range Dell PCs. So I was very disappointed to find that my last Dell XPS 400 i7 940 (bought a year ago) was slower than my 5 year old XPS 4 with 3.8GHz Pentium 4.

    The newer PC has 8GB DDR3 ram compared to 2GB DDR2. The newer has a raid 0 setup although both have the same rpm disks.

    When I first ran some heavy number crunching apps (not really graphical) the new PC was 50% slower. I turned off the hyper-threading and this bought it up to the same speed.

    My old PC has all sorts of apps running, virus scanners, Skype, email aound 70 processes in all. The newer one doesn't have virus scanners, firewalls, file indexing, around 25 processes and a flat zero in the CPU usage.

    So why is the performance so poor? Dell can't tell me.

    Add to this the Dell can't seem to keep fan speed even so it's constantly going fast / slow / fast / slow and making a hell of a racket!
