Core i7 is the newest Quad core CPU from intel, its top end and as a result expsenive yet efficient. I opted for the 920 at a semi-reasonable £240, compared to the quicker, yet more pricey 940 or Extreme edition (the Extreme tops out at nearly £1,000 - just for the CPU!?!).
With more cores and too many features to list (google it) the Core i7 is intel's finest core yet. With rave reviews and recommendations, I chose the Core i7 over my previously favoured manufacturer (AMD). As anyone who knows anything about customer loyalty will know, it takes alot to steal loyal customers and AMD have served me well over the years. However, it cannot be denied that Intel are now the market leader once again.

Advantages: Fast, quad core, best for gaming, runs cool, big cache size Disadvantages: price
The Intel core i7 is the new processor range from Intel. The core i7 is the fastest processor yet to be unleashed into the marked. It comes in three different models at the moment however there are plans to release another 3 more. At the moment of when this review was written there are only three types; 920 (2.66 GHz), 240 (2.93 GHz) and the 940 Extreme Processor (3.2 GHz). each of the processors have 8MB of cache which means you will be able to ... ...to process the information. the i7 is also a quad core CPU which means it will multi-task extremely well. When I used this Processor on my system, it ran extremely fast and only using about 8% of CPU usage when opening programs, surfing the web, watching a DVD. It rarely goes over 50% when playing games such as Counter Strike: Source and Left 4 Dead. If you want the maximum performance and you also want to stay future proof, go with this and I promise ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Intel Core i7 920 / 2.66 GHz processor
Advantages: Cheapest of the i7 series, Excellent overclockability, Fantastic performance Disadvantages: It is not ideal for people after a less expensive computer. Requires a X58 motherboard.
This product is my personal choice out of all of Intel's i7 range. Why you ask? Because it is cheap and features all of the functionality of its older brothers. These chips share exactly the same level 2 and level 3 cache, and a majority of their multipliers are all present, so off the mark this processor isn't that far behind its big brothers at all! The only huge gap here is the price. I would say if you are into overclocking then this is the chip ... ...and even 4GHz is possible with the correct cooling and voltages. At 4GHz this processor can really rack up some extreme performance. So to sum it up I would say this is you're best bang for the buck at the moment if you are after a high end performance computer. ...

Advantages: Fast, Very overclockable. Disadvantages: Not the cheapest upgrade, Requires DD3 memory, X58 i1333 motherboard
...comes with a stock intel cooler that it comes with is great at cooling the CPU, you may want to invest in a bigger fan if pushing the clock speed which some have got up to an incredible 4.0Ghz from 2.6Ghz, I have tried to get to this figure but my system became unstable, although i did not try tweaking many settings. Running this CPU with 12Gb of DDR3 on windows 7 Build 7100, everything installed and booted up first time. You will need to invest ...
