Intel unveils its advanced and fastest desktop processors, Intel Core i7 at a press event held in Mumbai, India. This tiny tot is the first member of the Nehalem processor design family and is all set to enhance performance and maximize data throughput.
“Intel has delivered the fastest desktop processor on Earth to the most demanding users on Earth, the ones who are using their PCs for video, gaming and music,†commented Prakash Bagri, Director – Marketing, Intel South Asia. “When you couple what is Intel’s biggest leap in chip design with other incredible innovations like Intel’s solid state drives, the Core i7 processor has redefined the computer of tomorrow.â€
The Turbo Boost Technology enhances performance, thanks to the power control and new power gate transistors. The new i7 Processor is said to perform computing at 40 percent faster speed with low power consumption.
It offers more than twice the memory bandwidth compared to the Intel “Extreme†platforms thus leading to a speedier transfer of data with the Intel Quickpath Technology. It also incorporates the Hyper-Threading Technology that allows several computing threads to run simultaneously.
The Intel i7 processor offers remarkable performance for 3-D games over 40 percent faster compared to the earlier one.
The processor features 8MB level cache and three channels of DDR3 1066 memory. Thus it brings to you an excellent memory performance. Its Extreme Edition eliminates overspeed protection.
The Intel Core i7 processors and Intel X58 Express Chipset based Intel Desktop Board Extreme Series are now available through various computer manufacturers online, retail stores and boxed retail product through channel online sales.
The 3.20 GHz Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition, 2.93 Intel Core i7-940 and Intel Core i7-920 are priced at $999 (approx Rs. 49,470), $562 (approx Rs. 27,830) and $284 (approx Rs. 14,063) respectively.
