From the Manufacturer
With multiple computing “brains” inside one processor, new Intel multi-core processors deliver big performance for anyone interested in running the most demanding software applications with ease. New Intel® Core™ i7 45nm quad-core processors from Intel combine exclusive innovations to deliver the best possible performance, plus an extra performance boost when needed.
New levels of brilliant performance
With faster, intelligent multi-core technology that applies processing power where it is needed most, new Intel® Core™ i7 processors deliver incredible breakthroughs in PC performance. You’ll run multiple demanding applications faster and unleash incredible digital media creation possibilities. And you’ll experience maximum performance for everything you do, thanks to the combination of Intel® Turbo Boost Technology and Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, which dynamically maximize performance to match your workload.
Puts processing power where you need it most
Whether you’re casually checking email and surfing the Web or running multiple compute-intensive applications like HD video encoding, you want a processor that can deliver maximum PC performance and keep things moving.
Faster, brilliant multi-core performance
With the Intel Core i7 processor, you’ll get performance that goes as fast as you do. An unprecedented 4-core, 8-thread design made possible by Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology ensures incredible performance, no matter what your computing needs. And with more than double the memory bandwidth for faster memory access, you’ll achieve more while waiting less.
Intel Technology
Intel® QuickPath Interconnect. This Intel-exclusive innovation makes it easier for data to move quickly from the processor to the Intel X58 chipset, delivering better performance and responsiveness with the most demanding applications.
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology. By allowing each of the four processing cores to process two application “threads” simultaneously, Intel Core i7 processors can accomplish more simultaneously—allowing users to run more demanding applications simultaneously while experiencing superior responsiveness.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology. This new technology dynamically increases the processor’s frequency when needed by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom when operating below specified limits, giving you extra horsepower when you need it.
8 MB Shared Intel® Smart Cache. By placing more data closer to the processing cores and enabling multiple cores to dynamically share this space, Intel’s exclusive cache design ensures that multiple processing cores have ready access to data when it is needed.
Shatter your limits
It’s time for digital content creation that’s limited only by your imagination. Experience total creative freedom with the power to encode video up to 40% faster.1 Plus, enjoy incredible performance on other multimedia tasks like image rendering, photo retouching and editing.
Gaming on the edge—and beyond
The Intel® Core™ i7 processor not only can take on today’s most complex and immersive games, but it’s also powerful enough to handle tomorrow’s gaming advances. By distributing AI, physics, and rendering across 8 software threads, the Intel Core i7 processor lets you concentrate on taking down the bad guys while your PC handles all the visual details like texturing and shading that keep you feeling totally immersed. It’s a gaming experience so perfect, you just might lose yourself in the action.
Multimedia
With professional-grade photo and HD video editing applications growing in popularity, you might have considered editing your own photos and home movies for family and friends. But did you know that these editing applications can consume huge amounts of computing resources? Built to handle resource-hungry creativity applications with ease, the four cores and eight processing threads of Intel Core i7 processors help ensure that when you’re manipulating high-resolution photos or editing HD-quality home movies, your computing platform will keep pace with your creativity.
Multitasking
Whether at work or home, running multiple applications is commonplace. When these applications demand significant computing resources (like photo editing, video compression or conversion, video conferencing, gaming and more) multitasking can mean slowdown and inefficiencies. For users who want to accomplish a lot simultaneously—whether at work or play—Intel Core i7 processors combine Intel’s latest exclusive technologies to deliver performance to match the task at hand.
