Let's get this out of the way: Most of us can't even begin to justify purchasing a Core i7-6950X. The official MSRP is $1,723 in lots of 1,000, for the boxed chip, but even Amazon's reduced price of $1,650 puts the cost of entry at more than a complete hi...

In the past two years, the Intel Core i7-5960X Extreme Edition has had little reason to look over its shoulder. After all, in 2014 when it launched, the 8-core, 16-thread behemoth represented everything Intel could pile on top of the X99 platform, minus t...

Intel just launched its new family of X99 high-end CPUs, using LGA2011-v3 socket. Those new processors are codenamed “Broadwell-E” and the most high-end model on this platform is the Core i7-6950X, which has 10 physical cores (20 threads thanks to the Hy...
Due to its specifications, the Core i7-6950X taken from the Core i7-5960X the title of most high-end desktop CPU available, mostly because of the 20 threads. Its price also reinforces this title. By the way, it is interesting to notice that, by now, Intel...

With the recent release of Intel's latest and greatest – the ten core i7 6950X – enthusiasts have an entirely new generation of enthusiast grade processors to play with. Of course with an asking price that (almost) requires its own mortgage we doubt most...
With its ten cores to feed the 6950X is a mild mannered Dr. Jekyll at stock, but can turn in an instant to Mister Hyde when overclocked. As you can see it will need a lot more than value cooling to tame this savage beast!3.5i7 6950XYour RatingUser Rating:...

You'd be forgiven for not noticing, but this time last year Intel debuted its 5th-generation Core architecture codenamed Broadwell. On the desktop, Broadwell kept the LGA1150 socket used by Haswell before it, with only two processors ever released: the Co...
Ridiculously high pricing at over $1,700 essentially the same cost as the 14core Xeon E52680 v4.
Before getting on with the conclusion I would just like to point out that we couldn't include any overclocking tests or info on the new Turbo Boost Max 3.0 feature. The reason for this is simple: we don't have a motherboard that supports the new Turbo Boo...

What would you do with more CPU cores? This is a question I see posted from an Intel employee on a yearly basis, and it actually is a difficult question to answer depending on your computing background. A gamer might not need more than four or six, and a...

It was all the way back in August of 2014 that Intel officially launched its Haswell-E based Core i7 series processors and its companion X99 chipset. At the time of its release, Haswell-E's top of the line, 8-core Core i7-5960X was easily the most powerfu...

Today Intel is launching Broadwell-E, the follow up to Haswell-E, and things look very much the same as they did before. There are definitely a couple of changes worth noting and discussing, including the move to a 10-core processor option as well as Turb...
First, let's talk about the positive side of the Core i7-6950X. It is clearly, and without a shred of doubt, the fastest consumer processor on the market. With the inclusion of Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, Intel was able to improve single-threaded perf...

Today we are going to get a chance to review Intel”s next processor in their High-End Desktop (HEDT) platform. The king of the consumer hill used to be the mighty i7-5960X our friend Dino reviewed back in August of 2014 . That “extreme” CPU shook up the l...

Intel made another step forward with its X99 platform and launched the Broadwell-E CPU series. That consists of 4 SKUs: i7-6950X (10 cores), i7-6900K (8 cores), i7-6850K (6 cores) and i7-6800K (6 cores, only 28 PCI-E lanes).The new family should bring a n...

It's hard to push the value (or even sanity) argument for a chip this expensive unless your living relies on extremely demanding processing tasks. But Intel's 10-core, 20-thread "Broadwell-E" beast is flat-out impressive. It's the fastest consumer chip y...

Intel Broadwell-E processors are finally here and sadly before I even started to type this review most of the details have been leaked out around the web this month and some have already made it up on eBay. It's getting harder to keep a secret these days...
The Intel Core i7-6950X Broadwell-E CPU features 10-cores that absolutely thrash multi-core benchmarks. This processor is indeed a monster and after using this processor and seeing how fast it tears through tasks we are left impressed. Even the boring si...

We always knew we'd be seeing Broadwell again, though. There's a fairly predictable lag between when Intel rolls out a new architecture and when the design is adapted for server/workstation use. So, when we got our hands on Xeon E5-2600 v4 , based on Broa...

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and Threadripper 1920X are very impressive processors that did extremely well in content creation benchmarks that take advantage of having a 16-core, 32-thread processor in the system. The good news is a good number of app...
