Intel has introduced what it says is its most advanced desktop processor ever, the Intel Core i7 processor.<\/p>\n
The Core i7 processor is the first member of the Nehalem family of processor designs and is said to have technologies that boost performance on demand and maximise data throughput.<\/p>\n
According to Intel, the Core i7 processor speeds video editing, immersive games and other popular Internet and computer activities by up to 40% without increasing power consumption.<\/p>\n
The Core i7 processor holds a world record of 117 for the SPECint_base_rate2006* benchmark test that measures the performance of a processor. This is said to be the first time ever for any single processor to exceed a score of 100 points.<\/p>\n
"Intel has delivered the fastest desktop processor on Earth to the most demanding users on Earth, the ones who are using their PCs for video, gaming and music," says Patrick Gelsinger, senior vice-president and GM of Intel’s Digital Enterprise Group.<\/p>\n
"The Core i7 processor has redefined the computer of tomorrow."<\/p>\n
Tech Web sites have been extremely positive in their product reviews. Anandtech states that "Core i7 continues to fuel Intel’s beacon of performance."<\/p>\n
"The Core i7 is everything they promised it would be," says PC Perspective. "Nehalem is a masterpiece," says the Lost Circuits Web site. The Tech Report calls it "one of the most consequential shifts in the industry."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
