Do you want a high performing desktop processor for your gaming and multimedia needs? Are you a game addict who wants the best gaming experience from your desktop computer?
Intel Core i7 Processor Extreme Edition can be processor you need to conquer the world of extreme gaming!
Intel Core i7 Processor Extreme Edition doesn’t stop at gaming. But it can enable you to multitask 25% faster and create multimedia like video encoding and photo editing.
This i7-965 processor has almost the same specifications and features with the standard Intel Core i7 processor.
But it has 3.20 GHz clock speed and 6.4 GT/s Intel Quick Path Interconnect Speed. Take note that it has the Intel 64 architecture and of course, it’s a quad-core processor.
If in case you are not aware yet, Intel Quick Path Interconnect is designed for bandwidth increase and low latency. With the extreme edition processor, data transfer speed can be as high as 25.6 GB/sec.
With this extreme edition processor, you can have immersive gaming, play video games while you can still work on other applications, and quickly convert videos to other formats.

Looking for the best desktop processor on the planet? Then, take a closer look at Intel Core i7 Processor that delivers a great breakthrough in quad-core performance.
Intel Core i7 Processor features the following:
- Intel Turbo Boost Technology
- Intel Virtualization technology
- Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology
- Execute Disable Bit
- Intel 64 architecture
Using Intel Turbo Boost Technology, the processor maximizes the speed for demanding applications. With this technology, you can experience a greater performance when you need it the most.
It comprises of processor numbers i7-940 and i7-920. The only difference between the two is the clock speed.
The i7-940 has 2.93 GHz clock speed while i7-920 has 2.66 GHz. Both have 8 processing threads with Intel Hyper-Threading technology and 8 MB of Intel Smart Cache. These are quad core processors that have 3 channels of DDR3 1066 MHz memory.
With this processor, you can multitask applications faster. You can convert a video for your iPod while you are encoding a video for You Tube.
This processor enables you to create spectacular slide-shows, 3D images for animations or games, or even create your own movie without suffering PC performance.
People who like gaming, graphics, video editing, video streaming and photo gallery can benefit from the incredible breakthrough performance of the Intel Core i7 Processor.

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is a new feature incorporated in Intel® Core™ Microarchitecture (Nehalem) based processors.
This technology enables higher performance through the availability of increased core frequency under some configurations and workloads.
If the processor cores are operating below power, temperature and current specification limits, this technology allows processor cores to run faster than the base operating frequency.
It can be engaged with any number of cores or logical processors enabled and active which produces increased performance of both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads.
The Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is available only on supported processor versions including the Intel Core i7.
With this technology, the processor is capable of maximizing core frequency while ensuring that it doesn’t exceed its electrical and thermal specifications.
It is also possible to contain a set-up option in BIOS to enable or disable the Intel® Turbo Boost Technology. For ACPI operating systems, Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is supported.

The processor or the CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the brain and the most important chip in the computer. CPU is where all the calculations take place.
Choosing which processor is better for your computer depends on your computer needs. Today, Intel and AMD are the two companies on the market that produce processors.
There are options you can consider when choosing a right computer processor:
- Do I need a single or dual processor?
The single processor has only one chip that processes all the calculations and instructions while the dual processor has two chips that work together to do all the tasks.
Some people buy dual processor thinking that it can make their computer faster. The dual processor is best suited for graphic design, digital photography and video editing.
Unless the application you are using requires much of the system resources, you may opt to buy a dual processor. But some applications can still run faster at a single processor. Read the rest of this entry →

Processor is considered to be the most important part of a computer. This is the logic machine which executes computer programs.
Processor is the brain of the computer and the technical name of processor is central processing unit, abbreviated as CPU.
Processor is in fact the most common name in which CPU is known. It is inside the processor that all calculations required for the processing of computer programs take place.
Processors itself have two essential parts known as the ALU and the control unit. The ALU performs all arithmetic as well as logic operations while CU executes the instructions coming from the memory. Read the rest of this entry →
