It has not been long when Intel passed a wave of surprise with its i7 core family of processors making it the fastest processor on earth. And they are set to do it again! Intel Plans the release of the i7 core 965 EE’s Big Brother, the Intel i7 Core 975 Extreme Edition in May 2009. After that, the crown of the fastest processor belongs to Intel i7 core 975 EE. But several Distributors and Retailers are showing this date to be in Early April instead of May End.

This monster will be built using the Intel’s 45 nanometer Silicon Wafer Technology and will have a clock speed of 3.33 GHz. The release of this processor is rather an anticipated one as i7 core 975 EE will serve as the flagship processor chip for Intel. This chip is codenamed ‘BloomField’.

The specifications of this i7 core 975 Extreme Edition are as follows:

• It will have a clock speed of 3.33 GHz and will have 24 unlocked multipliers.
• It will support the Intel’s QPI Technology which is currently used in the i7 core families for extremely fast data transfer in place of the Front Side Bus which is very slow in comparison.
• This processor will also support the Hyper Threading (HT) technology that was used in times of Intel Pentium 4 processors. Due to this reason, the processor will be able to run 8 threads simultaneously.
• It will support the DDR3 Category of RAM.
• It will have native support for the LGA 1366 sockets.
• It will support 1 MB of L1 Cache and 8 MB of shared L3 cache in place of the L2 cache supported by the current processors of the Core 2 Quad family.

This processor is expected to consume 130 W of power and this will value will be much lower when the processor will be in the idle state. According to a trusted source, when this processor is over-clocked, it reaches a maximum clock speed of 5.239 GHz making it far more superior in terms of performance and efficiency. This processor has broken the then record of FutureMark’s 25Mark05 benchmark application. This processor will be supported by the Gigabyte’s Ex58 chipset which supports the DDR3 category of RAM only.

Thus it stands clear this processor will not face any kind of performance and speed competition in the near future. Again this processor is going to make you think twice or may be thrice before its purchase and it will cost a whooping 1000 USD when purchased in a bulk of at least 1000.

Intel has also planned the release of Intel i7 Core 950 at 3.06 GHz with Intel i7 Core 975 Extreme Edition. Now it is just a matter of time for people to see the world’s most capable processor ever made.

1. The Intel Core i7 Extreme Lives Up To Its Hype

This chip is a bit bigger in size than the Core 2 Duo chip and the only architecture supporting this wonderful processor is Intel X58 chipset. The chip is built using the 45 nanometer wafer technology and brought back the days of Pentium 4 which supported Hyper Threading Techology. So if you check out the Windows, it will show 8 processor cores. There are numerous enhancements including these which has made the i7 core a topper in the list of other processors. Though, advantages comes at a price and that is a heavy USD 999 in the case of this processor.

The Least change is seen in the Media Encoding as it only utilizes 2 cores of the processor. But the Sony Vegas Video editing test shows that this processor is undoubtly the best in terms of output time. The test also shows that the Rendering time is 33% less as compared to the Core 2 Extreme.

These benchmarks are topped by Intel i7 core 965-Extreme Edition. Another surprise is that i7 core 920 also outperforms the predecessor Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770. Other Benchmarks tests are also topped by i7 core extreme which includes individual times of Adobe Photoshop, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Office and Others. And this undoubtedly proves Intel i7 core Extreme to be the fastest processor till date.

The extreme version of the i7 adds greater performance with a processing speed of over 3.2 GHz. Intel provides the worlds most advanced processors for those who like to use their PCs for things such as video gaming and music and they have not failed with the release of the i7 Extreme.

The new i7 Extreme is based on completely new architecture which has been built virtually from the ground up. It offers quicker communications and marks the end of the legendary FBS. The new Quick Path Interconnect bus that is featured in these new processors, combined with many other new additions is what makes this processor so powerful.

The i7 Extreme is the world’s fastest performing processor and it provides us with a breakthrough performance in gaming and media. The i7 Extreme increases multitasking speed by over 25% and video encoding which is up to 79% faster and image coding which is around 45% faster than any previous processor.

With the unique combination of Intel Turbo Boost technology and Inter Hyper Threading technology you can expect you processor to work at full capacity giving you the maximum performance you need.

The i7 Extreme was released in Japan on the 15^th of November 2008 and in the U.S. on the 17^th of November and is expected to improve the performance of PCs like you wouldn’t believe.

If you are in the market for a new PC then keep your eye out for the new i7 processor and the higher performance i7 Extreme processor. You can tell the standard i7 processor and the i7 Extreme by the colour of the logos. The i7 Extreme has a black logo whereas the i7 has a blue logo.

To be working with this processor in your PC is to be working with the absolute best technology available today.

1. Intel Steps It Up With The Core i7 Extreme

The Intel Core i7 has had lots of attention since it has been released. Just like Intel's other Extreme CPU's the i7 Extreme is insanely fast. It is way ahead of the competition with loads of new features including Intel's Smart Cache. The smart cache from Intel is rather amazing. It helps increase the efficiency of the CPU's cache a good bit. You can learn more about Intel's new Smart Cache at their website here.

With one product release Intel just outdated everything else with its new Core i7 CPU line. You won't find a faster CPU currently on the market than the Intel Core i7 Extreme. It will play games like nothing else.

Say goodbye to lag and a slow computer because you won't have one after you install this new CPU.

Not only will it play your games if you combine it with a nice graphics card it can help you to play your games in full resolution and frame rate. You won't need to look at the minimum requirements on a game box for a while after you install the i7 extreme that's for sure!

Having the best of the best will cost you if you want it now. The extreme edition is over $1000 retail. That's a pretty hefty price but I have seen even higher from Intel before. Time is money in some cases and that means this CPU could help you make more money by getting the job done faster.
