Abstract: Hot damn this is some quick, expensive silicon. But even though this brand new, $1,000 eight-core, sixteen thread, Core i7 5960X processing monster is capable of some serious number-crunching, it's probably not the CPU you're really looking for.The i7 596...

Epic 8 core – 16 thread computing, Improved thermal design works!, Overclockable up to 4.6 GHz (so far), Best of class performance

8 cores and 16 threads, Unlocked base clock multiplier, Easy and impressive overclocking, Runs cooler than other chips, Brings DDR4 to the consumer level

Without question, Intel really stepped performance up to a new level with the i7 5960X. However, it'll cost you dearly to experience this 8-core/16-thread goodness. The retail price of $999 at launch may seem high, but it's below what the i7 4960X is cu...

The Core i7 5960X is a more than capable CPU and it shows with raw muscle in many tests but its ability to win gamers hearts will depend on how it evolves. 0...
