Intel Core i7 875K & i5-655K CPU's

In all those years, we’ve never seen a chip taken to 5GHz on air. Never. Until now.

After the FX fell to Conroe, Intel has dominated the performance CPU market for many years. AMD’s eggs are all in the Fusion basket and not expected to be hatched until Q2 2011.

However, one valiant design group managed to deliver the Thurban, 6-core Phenom II X6 product range to market (purely as a stop gap). The unlocked Black Edition 1090 went some way to appeasing AMD’s die-hard fan base.
