Review: Bloomfield
Continuation: Intel Core i7 - Nehalem CPUs reviewed


Intel Core i7 - Nehalem CPUs reviewed: Crysis
For our processors benchmarks we used the integrated CPU demo with several explosions, flying debris and the accordingly high physics calculations. In order to receive optimal results, we patched the game to version 1.21.

For the Crysis benchmarks we used the GTX 280 again.

seems these new i7's are fast little chips.


There are not so little though

Good review.
There is a mistype on first page: it says; L2 Cache 256 MB instead of KB.

Thanks for the review guys, awesome stuff again and I like the GPU scaling and CPU comparisons in different games/apps..... seems these new i7's are fast little chips.

This will probably be my next upgrade... the E6300 at 3ghz is getting tired, but still fast enough as its mostly GPU limited and desirable resolutions.

Now all that anyone needs to do is buy a cheap i7 920 (or even lower?) and overclock it to 4ghz... that will easily last 2 years without the need to upgrade

You mention that there are differences between the high end i7 and low end i7, what are they apart from clock speed?

Also, any info on overclocking the CPU's? How does the QPI work.... I have to admit I have not read anything about it yet....

Yapa
