Intel Third Generation Core i7 3770K Review

Specifications:

Features:

• Intel® Turbo Boost Technology1 2.0 Dynamically increases the processor's frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom to give you a burst of speed when you need it.
• Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology1 Delivers two processing threads per physical core. Highly threaded applications can get more work done in parallel, completing tasks sooner.
• Integrated Memory Controller An integrated memory controller offers stunning memory read/write performance through efficient prefetching algorithms, lower latency, and higher memory bandwidth.
• Built-In Visuals2 Intel® Quick Sync Video—Delivers fast conversion of video for portable media players, online sharing, and video editing and authoring.
• Intel® Clear Video HD—Visual quality and color fidelity enhancements for HD playback for a sharper, smoother, and richer picture.
• Intel® InTru™ 3D3—Stereoscopic 3-D Blu-ray* playback in full 1080p resolution over HDMI* 1.4 and premium audio.
• Intel® HD Graphics—Enhanced 3-D performance for immersive mainstream and casual gaming.
• Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions—A set of new instructions to improve software performance for floating point-intensive applications such as audio processing, audio codecs, and image and video editing applications.
• Intel® Smart Cache The shared cache is dynamically allocated to each processor core, based on workload. This significantly reduces latency, improving performance.
• AES New Instructions (AES-NI) New AES instructions add hardware acceleration to AES algorithms and speeds up the execution of AES applications.
• Intel® Virtualization Technology1 Allows one hardware platform to function as multiple "virtual" platforms. Offers improved manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.
• Thermal Solution for Boxed Processors Includes a four-pin connector for fan speed control to help minimize the acoustic noise levels generated from running the fan at higher speeds for thermal performance
