When it comes to Intel's Core Ultra 7 and Core Ultra 9, it's a matter of buying a powerful processor or a very powerful one. Here are all the differences on desktop and mobile.

At price-points sure to make the remaining AMD execs cringe, Intel is pricing its top-end Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition at $990, and the step-down Core i7-3960K at $555 (both per 1,000). The ...

It's performing on the same level as the Core i7 2600K in several popular CPU benchmarks such as WinRAR 4, X.264 pass 2, Handbrake, 7Zip, POV Ray 3.7, ABBYY OCR, wPrime 32M, and Bibble 5.0.

That's 133MHz quicker than the preceding 980X on both fronts, and enough to warrant the $999 price tag traditionally associated with Intel's range-topping processor.

But the Core i7-980X ups the cache from 8MB to 12MB, and the larger number of cores results in an increase of the number of threads that Hyper-Threading allows.

Older quad core performance PCs can take up to four minutes at the CS4 test. In the Futuremark PCMark Vantage test, the Mach V (Core i7-980X) got our second-best overall score of 20,766.

The Core I7 980X is, of course, a six-core beast. But this is six-cores Intel style, so that's two threads per core and a dozen of those little green graphs when you fire up task manager.

As for the CPU itself, the i5 2400 managed to play runner-up to the Core i7 980X Extreme in most benchmarks, though in some cases it trailed the Core i7 880 when Hyper-Threading wasn't enabled.

You can go SLI with the GTX 480M or NVIDIA's more professionally minded Quadro 5000M, crank up CPU speed to 3.33GHz and beyond with the Core i7-980X from Intel (yes, the desktop variant), stash up ...
