TITLE: Intel Core i7-870 Processor Review ( -at -) Benchmark Reviews

DESCRIPTION: When it launched last year, the Core i7 platform redefined Intel's high-end processor segment. Unfortunately, the platform was also

accompanied by high-end prices. As such, it has seen only a minimal share of the desktop market. However, Intel has released a new platform that it

claims will bring the performance of Nehalem to mainstream price points. Referred to as Lynnfield, the new platform shares its core microarchitecture

with the i7-900 series, but introduces a completely new chipset and socket design. This means that not only will we see new processors, but new

motherboards as well. Benchmark Reviews has been testing several of these new items and will be covering the launch in detail over the next few days.

In this article, we examine the Intel Core i7-870 Quad Core Processor model BX80605I7870.
