Intel Core i7-3960X Processor Extreme Edition Review @Hi Tech Legion
 

The Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition is the highest-end CPU in the first batch of Sandy Bridge Extreme processors. The Intel Core i7-3960X, like the previous generation’s six-core i7 Extreme processors are fully unlocked for overclocking. A simple multiplier adjustment and voltage increase can push the hex-core, 12-threaded 3.3GHz i7-3960X processor to a 40% overclock or beyond, depending on the capabilities of the motherboard on hand. With a massive 15MB Intel Smart Cache size and Quad-channel DDR3 memory support, the Intel Core i7-3960X pushes the boundaries of desktop CPU performance beyond anything the personal computing scene has ever witnessed.
