In particular, they shall contain information about the Core i7 Extreme Edition-3960X, top model with six core operating frequency of 3.3 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 3.9 GHz, 15 MB L3 cache and support for HyperThreading technology, compared with the current Core i7 Extreme Edition LGA1366-990X.


By the battery of tests that includes benchmark as Cinebench 11.5, Povray 3.7, 3DMark 11, Pro-Show Gold 4.5, SPECint_rate base2006, SiSoft SANDRA SPECfp_rate base2006 and 2011B show that the Core i7 Extreme Edition-3960X can offer more than 47% performance more on average.
