Intel Core i7-920 Processor BX80601920 Tested - [hardware]

Benchmark Reviews posted a review on the Intel Core i7-920 Processor BX80601920. Here's a taster:
There is no doubt that Intel did their homework before bringing the Core i7 family of processors to the consumer market. The runt of the pack, the Core i7-920 is truly one of the three fastest processor currently on the planet, and brings a huge amount of new features that should be very enticing to virtually any potential consumer. Before making a scoring this processor we would certainly be remiss if we didn't cover all of the potential considerations a budding consumer should consider:

- The Intel Core i7-920 does not have and unlocked multiplier and will only improve the multiplier with turbo boost enabled. Standard overclocking can only be achieved by raising the system's core clock and adjusting the VCore accordingly.
- The MSRP of the Core i7-920 is $284.00 makes the purchase of this processor much more palatable
- The Core i7-920 is only currently supported by Intel X58 based motherboards so that expense needs to be added into consideration as well
- Unless you have a minimum of three sticks of DDR-3 that are fully functional at < 1.65 Volts, you will need to purchase new memory
- The Core i7-920 has a TDP of 130 Watts meaning a large amount of heat production at high performance levels, so an after-market cooler is most certainly recommended
- It is the cheapest member of the Core i7 family of processors and overclocks quite well
- The Intel Core i7-920 is in most cases still faster than the older generation processors including the extreme edition
