OverviewConquer the world of extreme gaming with the fastest
performing processor on the planet: the Intel
Core
i7 processor
Extreme Edition.¹ With faster, intelligent multi-core technology that
accelerates performance to match your workload, it delivers an
incredible breakthrough in gaming performance.
But
performance doesn't stop at gaming. You'll multitask 25 percent faster
and unleash incredible digital media creation with up to 79 percent
faster video encoding and up to 46 percent faster image rendering, plus
incredible performance for photo retouching and editing.¹
In fact, you'll experience maximum performance for
whatever you do, thanks to the combination of Intel
Turbo Boost
technology² and Intel
Hyper-Threading technology (Intel
HT
technology)³, which activates full processing power exactly where and
when you need it most.

Features Benefits
Get extreme with your gaming and advanced multimedia.Intel Core i7 processors deliver an incredible breakthrough in
quad-core performance and feature the latest innovations in processor
technologies:
- Intel Turbo Boost technology
maximizes speed for demanding applications, dynamically accelerating
performance to match your workload-more performance when you need it
the most.²
- Intel Hyper-Threading technology enables highly
threaded applications to get more work done in parallel. With 8 threads
available to the operating system, multi-tasking becomes even easier.³
- Intel Smart Cache provides a higher-performance, more efficient cache subsystem. Optimized for industry leading multi-threaded games.
- Intel QuickPath Interconnect is designed for
increased bandwidth and low latency. It can achieve data transfer
speeds as high as 25.6 GB/sec with the Extreme Edition processor.
- Integrated memory controller enables three
channels of DDR3 1066 MHz memory, resulting in up to 25.6 GB/sec memory
bandwidth. This memory controller's lower latency and higher memory
bandwidth delivers amazing performance for data-intensive applications.
- Intel HD Boost significantly improves a broad
range of multimedia and compute-intensive applications. The 128-bit SSE
instructions are issued at a throughput rate of one per clock cycle,
allowing a new level of processing efficiency with SSE4 optimized
applications.
