Product Information
Whether you're battling zombies or traversing a mountain of paperwork, you'll overcome your challenges easily with the Intel Core i7-920 processor. This Intel microprocessor is fully equipped with enhancements for optimal performance. With a clock speed of 2.66 GHz, you'll enjoy computing that is quick, responsive, and free of annoying lag. Intel Turbo Boost dynamically increases the processor's frequency when it's operating below the thermal limits. The processor can even achieve speeds of 2.9 GHz when fully overclocked. There are four cores and eight threads on this quad-core processor, so the computer will allocate different tasks to each core, further enhancing its speed. Watch a movie with one core while downloading a file with another.This generation of i7 processors use a type of architecture called Quick Path Interconnect. QPI architecture creates multiple pairs of high-speed, point-to-point links both inside and outside of the processor. This means you get faster data transfer between the different components. Moreover, Intel's cutting-edge hyper-threading technology improves performance with highly threaded software such as games and media players, making the most efficient use of the processor's resources. It essentially doubles the output of the processor's four cores. The Intel Core processor has been carefully optimized to play the most immersive games with advanced physics, artificial intelligence, and realistic graphics.This Intel Core microprocessor includes many other features that will improve the speed and efficiency of your CPU. The Advanced Digital Media Boost tech improves the speed of certain multimedia applications like video editing, gaming, and 3D rendering software. Intel SpeedStep improves the processor's balance between power and performance. Intel's Execute Disable Bit can block certain malicious "buffer overflow" attacks before they infect your computer. In addition, the Intel Idle States places the CPU into a low power mode whenever it goes idle.Whether you're operating a server, a desktop, or a mobile platform, this quad-core microprocessor delivers excellent computing power. It uses a 64-bit instruction set and a 45nm core micro-architecture design. With an LGA1366 socket, it's compatible with motherboards based on the Intel X58 Express chipset. It has a 4.8 giga-transfers per second bus speed to transfer more data between different parts of the microprocessor. The Intel Core i7-920 also has three channels of DDR3 1066 MHz memory, an integrated memory controller, and a bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s, which is the maximum rate at which data can be read from or stored into memory. Moreover, the processor's 8MB of cache memory should lead to less lag while multitasking. The cache memory is a small memory pool in the microprocessor that stores the most frequently used data. The Intel Smart Cache technology makes it easier to share cached data between each core, thus improving resource allocation in the microprocessor.The Intel Core i7-920 can function safely, without overheating or pausing, at a temperature up to 154.2 degrees Fahrenheit, making it reliable even in harsh conditions. The processor has a thermal design power of 130w, which is the average power that the microprocessor dissipates when operating under a complex workload.Product Identifiers
