Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition review

Editors rating

8.7

Verdict

Thanks to an expensive new motherboard requirement, Intel's new Core i7 (Nehalem) desktop processors will remain enthusiast and professional-level parts until more affordable complementary hardware comes out next year. Speed never comes cheap, however, and if you're willing to spend for it now, you'll find yourself with the fastest CPU on the market.
