Product details

Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 identifies the core with the best performance and delivers increased power to that core by boosting the clock frequency as needed, utilizing power and temperature headroom.

Intel Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases a processor's frequency as required, leveraging temperature and power reserves to provide more speed or greater energy efficiency.

Intel Hyper-Threading Technology allows two processing threads per physical core. Multi-threaded applications can complete more tasks in parallel and finish tasks faster.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology is an advanced functionality required for mobile devices that combines high performance with minimal energy consumption. Traditional Intel SpeedStep Technology switches voltage and frequency between high and low values based on processor load. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology builds on this architecture and employs design strategies such as separating voltage and frequency changes, as well as clock partitioning and recovery.

Rank 2 out of 14Computer BildProzessor Test - Duell auf AugenhöheReleaseJune 2017

AMD hat mit seinen brandneuen Ryzen-Prozessoren zwar mehr als ein Ausrufezeichen gesetzt - für den Testsieg reicht es aber nicht. Intels Core i7-7700K (350 Euro) landet verdient auf dem ersten Platz. Die Gründe: Er arbeitet schnell, ist sparsam und hat noch einen Grafikchip an Bord...

Der Core i7-6950X ist schlichtweg konkurrenzlos: Schneller geht es in Desktop-PCs nicht, außer man nimmt einen noch teureren Xeon E5. Das weiß auch Intel und setzt eine selbstbewusste Preismarke. Der Vorsprung gegenüber dem Achtkerner Core i7-5960X ist mit bis zu 36 Prozent deutlich...

Intels Core i7-6950X setzt neue Maßstäbe: Im Testlabor war noch nie ein Prozessor so schnell wie das Flaggschiff der Broadwell-E-Reihe. Und im Vergleich zum Vorgänger i7-5960X ist die 10-Kern-CPU auch noch sparsamer.
