What's Hot

10 per cent faster than the Core 2 Duo at the same clock speed, can process eight threads simultaneously, built-in memory controller, reliable for overclocking

What's Not

Needs a new motherboard to run, requires three memory modules for optimal performance

The Final Word

If you're in the market for a new high-end PC, it's worth spending your cash on a platform based on the Core i7. This Extreme Edition CPU will also let you overclock it reliably, and allow you to get close to 4GHz while only using an air cooler.
