Intel Core i7 875K review

Intel's quad-core Core i7 870 is a great all rounder. Short of a six-core monster machine, it's a hard to imagine what can beat it. However, for overclocking enthusiasts it does lack one key feature: an unlocked CPU multiplier.Enter, therefore, the new Intel Core i7 875K. It's identical to the 870 save for a slightly elevated price tag and an overclocking friendly unlocked multiplier. The multiplier, of course, is a ratio that combines with the chip's base clock to generate the overall operating frequency. Crucially, it's not linked to any other part of the system and theoretically allows a chip to be overclocked without knock-on effects to subsystems like buses and memory controllers.Anywho, if clocking the twangers off CPUs is your bag, an unlocked multiplier is a bit of a no brainer. For everyone else, it arguably just makes the Core i7 875K that little bit less competitive with the likes of AMD's Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition. Intel's Nehalem CPU architecture is simply the most advanced in the world. That's why a quad-core 2.93GHz chip like the Core i7 875K can take on AMD's fastest six-core effort, the 3.2GHz Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition and win.

Intel Core i7 875K review

The Extreme Edition processors from Intel always have been and always will be overpriced irrelevancies. What else can you say about a series that typically cost upwards of £800? The problem isn't just pricing, either. In outright performance terms, Extreme Edition chips are often no more than 15 to 20 per cent faster than CPUs costing a third or less the price. Value for money they most certainly ain't.Of course, the latest Extreme is a bit special thanks to offering more cores than any other Intel processor. But with more mainstream six-core chips pencilled in for later this year, even the Core i7-980X will soon resume the Extreme Edition's traditional rip-off role. Despite all this harshing on Intel's flagship CPU line, however, there's one aspect of the Extreme family we've always loved: the unlocked CPU multiplier. It's a feature that makes for idiot-proof overclocking and takes memory out of the equation. It's also a feature that would be trivial for Intel to add to any of its current CPUs. Wouldn't it be nice if you could have the unlocked multiplier in a more affordable chip? In fact, you already can if you go for one of AMD's competitively priced Black Series CPUs.

Intel's Core i5-655K & i7-875K Unlocked Processors

At Techgage, we strive to make sure our results are as accurate as possible. Our testing is rigorous and time-consuming, but we feel the effort is worth it. In an attempt to leave no question unanswered, this page contains not only our testbed specifications, but also a fully-detailed look at how we conduct our testing. If there is a bit of information that we've omitted, or you wish to offer thoughts or suggest changes, please feel free to shoot us an e-mail or post in our forums. The table below lists the hardware for our two current machines, which remains unchanged throughout all testing, with the exception of the processor. Each CPU used for the sake of comparison is also listed here, along with the BIOS version of the motherboard used. In addition, each one of the URLs in this table can be clicked to view the respective review of that product, or if a review doesn't exist, you will be led to the product on the manufacturer's website. Please note that for benchmarking the Core i7-980X, we deviated from the Rampage II Extreme that we tested all other Bloomfield's with in favor of taking Gigabyte's X58A-UD5 for a spin. This motherboard change won't effect the performance, but it will change the power consumption just a wee bit.

Intel Core i7-875K and i5-655K Unlocked Processors

Once upon a time, not very long ago in fact, Intel vehemently frowned upon overclocking. There were even times leading up to new processor and chipset releases when it was rumored that Intel would bring an end to overclocking altogether. Thankfully, the rumors of overclocking's death were greatly exaggerated and we enthusiasts continue to practice its black magic to this very day. Intel's distaste for overclocking has obviously dwindled over the last few years, however. Whereas before, all of the company's processors were locked and its motherboards lacked overclocking options. Now, Extreme Edition processors have unlocked multipliers and Intel motherboards have extensive overclocking tools built-in. It probably helps that Intel's current line-up of processor have massive amounts of frequency headroom left under to hood. But we digress... Today Intel's takes its acquired taste for overclocking a step further. The company is announcing two new mainstream processor offerings, targeted squarely at overclocking enthusiasts and feature unlocked multipliers.
