Intel Core i7 990X Extreme Edition Boxed

Zitat: + Sehr gute Anwendungs-, aber nur noch gute Spieleleistung - Zu hoher Stromverbrauch & Preis

Zitat: Performance Pros: + Excels at tackling multi-threaded workloads + Bundled with the excellent DBX-B cooler + Great for overclocking Cons: - The emergence of Sandy Bridge has negated X58´s wow factor - Hugelyexpensive for a lastgeneration chip We feel a computer-car analogy coming up, as the Core i7 990X is in some ways a lot like a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. Intel´s straight-six chip is imbued with a 3.73GHz Turbo injection that makes it faster than ever, but like the Super Sport it´ll be remembered as the one that went a bit quicker than the original. This is a hexa-core chip that screams performance, and it´s crammed full of self-gratification for the few who demand ultimate speed irrespective of cost. For everyone else, it´s an ageing muscle car that costs more than it should, guzzles too much fuel and isn´t a great all-rounder. Sure, the £780 Core i7 990X is unbeatable at handling multi-threaded workloads, but it isn´t vastly superior to the £440 Core i7 970, and its straight-line speed is roughly on par with the £240 Core i7 2600K. Perhaps it´s just a case of bad timing. Twelve months ago we were spellbound by the Core i7 980X, but that chip´s successor has landed shortly after innovative new hybrid processors have shown us that we can get almost all of the performance at a fraction of the cost in a tidier, refined and more efficient package. The Intel Core i7 990X might be the world´s fastest desktop processor, but in many ways it´s a fitting swan song to an X58 platform that´s gearing up for retirement.
