It consumes less power, runs cooler, and is 50% quicker than the existing Intel i7-975 power chip. For tech-savvy, it has six linked physical cores like separate processors, two more than the presently top quad-core chips.

It employs Intel's Hyperthreading technology which, with the right programs, makes your computer run 12 threads processing streams, letting multi-core programs to run even more rapidly.

This means unmistakably faster computing, whilst using less energy and generating less heat under your table.

Coalesced with Turbo Boost technology that slows down or paces up the processor past the regular 3.33 GHz up to 3.6 GHz as your computing tasks need, this chip cleanly outshines any other by a margin of up to 50%.
