In todays reviews we test the new four-core Core i7 4820K and six-core Core i7 4960X Ivy Bridge-E (IBE) processor. The 4820K is the only quad-core IBE processor that Intel will release. But it is unlocked and as such direct competition for the Core i7 4770K. That alone is interesting as X79 as a platform offers more PCIe lanes. But how well will this processor fare against Intel's own pride and joy the 4770K ? let's go check it out.

Pointless gaming tests. You should have tested the minimum framerates, because that is affected by CPU memory performance. Testing average framerates was completely pointless, it was obvious the results would be identical to similar CPUs.

Has anobody seen quad-channel gaming tests with minimum framerates?
