A news post would be great.

OCC has published a review on the *Intel Core i7 5960X Extreme Edition*

Here is a quote from the review:

Quote:

"It's good to finally have Intel refresh the Extreme line up and take that

step up to an eight core processor to do it. There are distributed

computing crunchers just salivating at the performance potential that comes

along with the added four threads that can be brought to bare in their

crunching farms. But alas that's not the only place you are likely to see

massive performance gains. When it comes to content creation and video

editing, the Core i7 5960X is going to deliver that next level of

performance when it is able to fully utilize all of its cores

simultaneously. In my testing I found that when utilized, the eight core

5960X is by far the fastest solution when compared to a Core i7 4960X,

Intel's Haswell quad core mainstream offerings, and the best that AMD

currently has to offer. When it cannot utilize all that core compute power

and run in single thread mode it is hampered by the low clock speed, and

does not deliver the impact that I see when pushing all eight cores; this

is pretty much the expected outcome."
