Intel Core i7-990X Extreme

The most powerful processor for the category of desktop computers, which is an improved successor model Core i7-980X and completely closes the offer processors from the Intel Core family of first generation compatible with socket LGA 1366thUnlike predecessors, offering higher performance due to higher native frequency and rate in Turbo mode, which is unprecedented 3.73 GHz.For its use is necessary motherboard chipset Intel X58.
Throw the processor has the most advanced 32nm architecture and features six physical cores with Intel Hyper-Threading for 12 virtual cores.Thanks to an unusually high number of cores and 12 megabytes giant shared third level cache is approaching capacity and server processors is an ideal choice for workstations such asfor creating and editing digital video.On my motherboard it is however delighted to welcome players and passionate modern 3D gaming or overclocking enthusiasts to extreme under nitrogen.
The model bears the epithet Extreme, which is a sign of unlocked multiplier overclocking easy.The system bus is designed 1linkovou QPI running at 3200 MHz and a speed of 6.4 GT/s.Integrated memory controller is a 3 channel DDR 1066 MHz with a bandwidth up to 25.6GB/s.The processor also supports PCI Express 2nd0 in the configuration 2x x16 or 4x x8 for a separate graphics card.Along with the processor will receive a massive heatsink with 4 heat-pipe tube and switch between a low speed (800 rpm) and performance (1800 RPM) mode.
