Review: Intel Core i7 5960X - 8 Cores of Pleasure

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 09/01/2014 07:58 AM | source: | 138 comment(s)

G'day Sir and milady! In this article we review, test and benchmark the all new Core i7 5960X (Haswell-E) 8 core processor and 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. 

We look at 5930K and 5820K processor performance as well. Read the review here.

games in 2015 -2016 will wreak havoc on z87 /z97, with this you're more future-proof. (haswell-e)


I don't believe this is true.

you buy a haswell-e and you don't have to worry so much about bottlenecks in upcoming games VS z87 /97.
imo.
