Intel® Core™ i7 Processor Extreme Edition
The world’s top chip maker company intel furnished its latest processor.It was termed as Gulftown previously. Intel stats it as The world’s fastest‡1, smartest PC processor.
Lets understand its features in a better manner .
Features :
Cores /Threads : 6 cores / 12 threads
Cores and threads go hand in hand. Multi-core processors are single chips that contain two or more distinct processors or execution cores in the same integrated circuit. Multi-threading allows each core to work on two tasks at once, thereby letting you do more things simultaneously, producing faster, more efficient results. Now your computer can keep up with even your heaviest multitasking.
Clock Speed : 3.33 GHz, up to 3.60 with turbo boost : It is basically processor speed measurement.It measures how fast a processor performs an activity – which activity depends upon how you plan to use your computer. Clock speed rates are shown in gigahertz (GHz), which means a billion cycles per second.
Intel® Smart Cache : 12 MB : Cache is a fast storage area where the processor places frequently accessed data. Smart Cache is Intel’s performance-maximized data storage. It allows each processor core to dynamically utilize up to 100% of available cache and obtain data from the cache at higher throughput rates. By keeping more data closer to the processor for fast execution, overall performance is improved. This is of particular benefit when running rich media titles and games, as well as everyday productivity applications.
Silicon :32 nm
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology Yes
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology Yes
Intel’s planning on selling these in retail, standalone form for $999 (MSRP).The chip uses the LGA1366 socket and has an integrated memory controller.Power consumption is less and the chip really works as what it is stated as fastest chip at present time.You can easily fix it on with existing X58 chipsets.Just don’t forget the BIOS update.All in all this chip does what it says.
Sir, This is shit
Fastest is quad core i7

i think that the i7 is not the fastest pc in the world how can u proof that the i7 core cpu is the fastest in world if yes u justify it and know more about the pc world and then u can explain everyone in that website the i7 processor is the fastest
