Product Overview The Intel® Core™ i7 processor delivers best-in-class performance for the most demanding applications. This quad-core processor features 8-way multitasking capability and additional L3 cache. With adaptive performance and built-in visual capabilities this 2nd generation processor brings more intelligence to your PC. Features Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 dynamically increases the processor frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom when operating below specified limits.

Intel® HT Technology allows each core of your processor to work on two tasks at the same time.

Intel® Smart Cache is dynamically allocated to each processor core based on workload, which significantly reduces latency and improves performance.

add hardware acceleration to AES algorithms and speeds up the execution of AES applications.

Buying Guide

Intel Lynnfield CPUs
Date Issued: 14th Sep 2009

Intel launched the consumer-oriented Core i7 900-series processors back in November 2008, and the chip giant has known that it's been on to a winner with Nehalem, the codename for the underlying architecture. This is the reason we've seen little innovation on Core i7, and pricing has remained relatively steady since launch.

Intel Branding Part II
Date Issued: 1st Jul 2009

Intel has plans for a new brand structure that it claims will be less confusing for customers. In this TekSpek we'll take a look at Inte's proposals and speculate on its future line-up of processors.

Intel Branding Part I
Date Issued: 1st Jul 2009

Intel’s been on a mission of late. That mission revolves around grouping and standardising key technologies under various banners that are designed to ensure hardware compatibility and consumer ease of use. We’ll take a closer look at three such technologies that fall under the headings of Centrino, Viiv, and vPro, respectively.

DDR3
Date Issued: 17th Nov 2008

This TekSpek explains what DDR3 is, how it works, where you’ll find it, and what it means to the consumer.

Intel Nehalem Family
Date Issued: 17th Nov 2008

This TekSpek gives a brief overview Intel's new ' Nehalem’ generation of Central Processing Units (CPUs).

Cores
Date Issued: 20th Oct 2008

Over the course of the last year or so we’ve seen GHz become less of a focus when it comes to processors. Instead, we’re seeing a shift towards processors that do more work per clock, have larger caches, are more power efficient, and of course we’ve seen dual-core processors hit the market. So what is dual-core all about, and how does it weigh up compared to single-core?

CPU Codes
Date Issued: 20th Oct 2008

It’s been a long time since MHz were the only part of a CPU’s specification that concerned people. Manufacturers take different approaches to CPU design, even when using the same architecture. That means for example, at the same clock speed, an Intel and AMD processor will deliver different performance.

Intel’s 45nm technology
Date Issued: 24th Jun 2008

This TekSpek discusses Intel’s 45nm process technology. What it is, what it provides, and how it benefits the consumer.
