I7-930 CPU Evaluation
Whereas Intel has lately been busy launching Core i3 and i5 CPUs, it hasn't accomplished anything new with its range of LGA1366 Core i7 processors for a number of months.
However, Intel seems to have finally found time to tweak its flagship CPU collection by introducing one new model - the excellent Intel Core i7-930.
Each CPUs have the identical 133MHz QPI bus, the Intel Core Processor i7-930 runs at a touch upgraded 2.8GHz in comparison with the 2.66GHz for the now-basic i7-920. Identical to your entire i7 desktop range, the i7-930 is made out of the same 45nm transistors and it additionally shares the identical fanatic loving D0-stepping design as its i7-920 brother.
Regardless of the fact the i7-930 is just intended as a direct replacement for the prevailing i7-920, which is quickly to be discontinued, we thought it was worth reviewing as the i7-920 was an immensely fashionable chip. It just so occurred too that in testing the Intel Core Processor i7-930 turned out to be a bit more special as well.
In principle, this additionally means Intel is offering a 2.8GHz Intel Core Processor i7-930 for the same value as a 2.66GHz Core i7-920, which fits some way to compensating for Intel's horribly confusing nomenclature.
Intel Core Processor i7-930 particulars
- Frequency: 2.8GHz
- Number of cores: 4 x physical, four x logical
- Core: Bloomfield
- Packaging: LGA1366
- L1 cache: 32KB L1 information, 32KB L1 instruction per core
- L2 cache: 256KB per core, inclusive
- L3 cache: 8MB accessible by all cores, inclusive
- QPI: 4.8GT/sec
- Reminiscence: Triple-channel DDR3-1,333MHz
- TDP: 130W
Unlike the 920 our 930 hit 4GHz with out flinching. Breaking by way of this barrier was more problematic but we still hit 200 BCLK at a really reasonable 1.35v. A far cry from the 1.45v many 920s required to hit 4GHz and having none of the issues with multiplier (for those unaware some 920s would work higher with 19 or 21 as the multi slightly than the default 20).
That would be impressive enough to make it to the top of the checklist of nice value processors, however the 930 has a fabulous trick up its sleeve and it is nearly more impressive than its overclocking capabilities.
Dell unveils Alienware Aurora gaming rig, will serenade you for $2,200 (Engadget)
Dell has just taken the wraps off a brand new addition to the Alienware
family, hailing it, rather poetically, as "a serenade to raw gaming power."
It's called the Alienware Aurora, and it's staring at you with a Cylon-like
grin in the image above. Beneath its menacing veneer lurks Intel's six-core,
3000 series Core i7 CPU, an X79 Express chipset and quad-channel DDR3 memory,
all of which are kept in check by Dell's liquid cooling and active venting
technologies. The gaming rig also supports both multi-display and 3D
configurations, with GDDR5 memory-laced graphics cards. In case you're not
satisfied, you can always get under the hood and tinker with it yourself,
without even busting out your tool belt. The Alienware Aurora is available now
for prices starting at $2,200, so hit up the source link for more details.
