Product Description

The cutting-edge Intel Core i7-990X Extreme Edition processor combines 6 3.4 GHz processors into one, enabling you to enjoy great performance even when simultaneously running high-end applications. Designed to be used with motherboards containing the Intel X58 chipset, the CPU allows you to compute and play games at a whole new level.

Ultimate Gaming Machine

The Core i7-990X is capable of not only handling complex games of the present, but future as well. The gameplay is smoother and more realistic, as the AI, rendering and physics are distributed over 6 cores and 12 threads. Say goodbye to 3D frame-rate issues and slowdowns.

Exceptional Digital Media

The 12 threads of the processor enable it to handle advanced-level digital editing, as well as accelerate DVD encoding/compression so you can easily share HD content with all. The image rendering and video transcoding/compression is very speedy as well.

Elimination of Slowdowns

Like other i7s, the Intel Core i7-990X Extreme Edition Processor, has the QuickPath Interconnect (QPI), which enables the processor to increase bandwidth and lower latency, while transferring data at a speed of 25.6 GB/sec.

In simple words, you will experience faster than ever streamlined processing. Use several projects/applications without worrying about the change in speed that happens with other lesser chips.

Greater Performance with New Technologies

The i7 990X utilizes many other new technologies:

• The Turbo Boost automatically changes 3.46GHz to an optimum single-core frequency speed of 3.73GHz when the processor is used below the power/thermal limits
• Hyper-Threading increases the efficiency of resource use by enabling the cores to do 2 tasks simultaneously, so the processor makes best use of threaded software such as next-gen games

Overclock Friendly

The i7 990X’s unlocked core makes overclock easier. For those who want to take their hardware to the max, the Intel Desktop Board DX58SO offers a stable base for a limit-crossing system.
