Awesome Performance and Efficiency Nov 26, 2009 By Robert M
If you're looking high-performance CPU that is also energy efficient and doesn't cost an arm and a leg then look no further.

The i7 860 has all the horsepower you'll need for fast picture editing and even editing AVCHD videos. But what really is cool is how little power it uses when your only checking e-mail and on the web. I built my desktop PC with this CPU and a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD4P mother, Corsair 620HX power supply and a Western Digital 640GB "Blue" HD. For light duty task like web browsing it consumes just 65 Watts! When it really kicks in high gear for serious number crunching it goes to 110 Watts. This is the result of Intel's Turbo technology that can turn off cores that are not in use. Plus if you give it a really good cooling system it can even drive the clock rate up to the thermal limit. This ability to save power is so important as it translates into less electricity, less wasted heat and noise and increased reliability. For me this was ideal since I wanted a computer that was super quiet when running basics tasks but had the muscle for demanding applications when needed.

This is a great CPU that will can handle anything you can through at it and won't be obsolete in a few years.

Excellent CPU Mar 22, 2010 By Chris K "Klemy"
Not a lot to say here. This is a great, powerful CPU that overclocks well. Easily can be pushed to 3.8Ghz on air cooling, while maintaining acceptable temperatures.

It was a huge upgrade over an E8400 (overclocked to 3.6Ghz), in gaming as well as multitasking in apps like Photoshop, Visual Studio, and SQL Server.

Turbo mode on these chips is excellent when using single thread apps. The performance of the Turbo mode is better than the 1366 socket brothers and sisters. If you're an avid overclocker, this means nothing, because you'll likely have that option turned off to manually handle it.

It's a beast of a chip that will definitely increase all of your benchmarks in an upgrade form previous technology.

TEN BUCKS OUT OF TEN!! Apr 29, 2010 By Movieskinny "WayneG"
I put together a new computer from scratch for the first time, instead of rebuilding existing units. I definitely needed to rebuild a few before trying this, BUT Intel and the other companies ARE making it much easier to do this. The major pieces are an Intel DP55SB Extreme mobo, i7 860 processor, 650wd-HD(64mb cache-6gbt/sec.), Creative X-Fi Titanium sound, Sony 7241 DVD-RW w/lightscribe, Win7pro64, 2x2gb Patriot Viper 1600 RAM(still have two empty slots), and Sapphire HD5750 card. I got a deal on a couple of pieces, and was able to put this together for $1,100, and saved $200 with some special deals I received, so really $1,400.

Amazon is an awesome place to put a computer together. My first DP55sb they shipped me had a big gash in the box, but not the brown outer box(?), and they took it right back. They sent me a new one OVERNIGHT!! I bought the w7x64ult, but got a w7pro64 for almost nothing from a friend, and shipped back the Ultimate to Amazon. They charged me a couple of dollars for the return shipping, cool. By the way, the only software items I've had any trouble loading were Microsoft products, 2006 Gears of War(runs super too), and 1998 Greetings Workshop. Still workin' on Greetings Workshop. Almost forgot, bluetooth took a little while to connect to printer. Was ridiculouly easy, but had never done it, and there isn't a lot of info on connection process. Embarassingly easy when you find it(taskbar).

Processor and fan combo went together and on the motherboard quite simply and easily, bam. Hard to imagine all that power in such a tiny little guy. The w7 experience rating for this system came in at 5.9, which is the basic limitations of the 650wd drive only. All other facets of the Windows Experience rating were 7.3 out of 7.9 possible points. Averaged together it was 7.0 out of 7.9. Who gets a 7.9, IBM's Blue Monster? This processor is fast with 4 cores and each one is hyperthreaded to a virtual 8 cores. The 2.8ghz can be clocked up to 3.46ghz. I haven't found anything yet that is challenging this unit past a yawn at 2.8ghz. The motherboard also comes with a very nice dashboard for tweaking and monitoring many items.

I went straight to one of my favorite quickie mini games, Half life2: Lost Coast, which has a video stress test to measure frames per second. My 3.2ghzHT XP Gateway with the ATIx1950 always came in at 28-35fps, and ran all the HL's just fine. I dialed it up on the new system and got a whopping 220fps! I had to put my glasses on to see if there really was a decimal point in there anywhere, WOW! I didn't realize I was this far behind in the computing world. The next game I loaded up was STALKER: SoC, and it did not disappoint me. I have never been able to get this game to run without plenty of chop suey. In fact, it looked so good on the HD5750/Intel combo that it did not even look like the same game. Windows 7 has so far run every game I through at it, except Call of Duty 2. Haven't found a fix yet.

I had one question, and Intel answered very expertly.

If you are thinking about building a computer, this setup worked nearly flawlessly for me, and I'm not a genius, but have some some basic working knowledge. The only two hitches came at start up. This DP55sb mobo will give you an error(digitally too) of 21. Which means that there is a problem with the RAM. I loaded the RAM on the 0/a+b slots, and who knew that it needed to be on the 0 and 1-a slots?! Right next to each other, and next to the processor. If I had loaded 4 pieces of RAM I never would have known. The next hiccup came when loading w7x64pro. The product key entry system is faulty! You'd think they would be paying a group junior high kids 8 bucks an hour to sit and load and reload the operating system all day to make sure that worked properly. This is a known issue, not just me. I will post the answer in the w7x64pro product page review. w7 is pretty cool, stable, and fast.

very pleased Nov 11, 2009 By S. Chia
using w/ gigabyte p55ud4p MB. started flawlessly. very stable. set the bus speed to 140, and the mb adjusts the clock according to work load. seems to be the best compromise between power savings and performance.
