We review the Core i7 5960X (Haswell-E) 8 core processor and 6-core 5930K and 5820K processors, we smack it on one of the long awaited X99 motherboards. Intel's most high-end processor SKUs just got updated with three new models, the top dog being the enthusiast class eight-core processor series aimed at enthusiasts and pro-consumers. The Intel Core i7-5960X and other Haswell-E chips are released into the market in September 2014 and are based on the new socket LGA2011-V3 infrastructure and DDR4 quad channel memory.

thanks Hilbert for the awesome review!

Oh man, the rampage looks so badass and the new bios layout looks pretty cool too, tho im not overly impressed with the benchmarks, doesn't seem like big upgrade coming from a 4960x.

I do wonder how far these new chips can be overclocked tho!

great job on your 5x-combo Hilbert, thank you.

I'm already on track upgrading to 4790k and Maximus VII Formula, the last of last gen's processors, rams and boards. until I upgrade again only God knows what technology will be in offer.
