Description
This Processor requires an X99 Motherboard & DDR4 Memory.
8 - The new power number. It looks like an infinite loop, which is appropriate as that is the power you possess with the new Intel® Core™ i7-5960X processor.
8 independent cores of unbelievable power that encourage you to become the digital content creator or gamer you always wanted to be. Need cores to render? Check. Need cores to compile? Check. Need core to seek and destroy in the latest game? Check. It seems almost unfair to add Intel® Hyper Threading Technology for a total of 16 threads at your disposal. You want burst speed performance for those jobs that require a bit more frequency? Intel® Turbo Boost Technology has that covered. But that little voice inside of you is saying you want even more? Let that voice know that the processor is unlocked and is ready for you to tune it to fit your demanding needs. Tune cores, power, memory, or whatever else you need to tune to make your system fit your needs.
