xtreme CPU that's right for those fans out there who like really high-end stuff this is the highest end you can ever get so with that said with no more let's jump in and let's start talking about today's video the new Ivy bridge-e 49 60 X is a 6 core 12 thread CPU that comes fully unlocked to the core clock of 3.6 gigahertz and a boost clock of 4.0 gigahertz this is all done by Intel's Turbo Boost 2.0 technology which also enables automatic overclocking and with hyper-threading technology 12 threads become available increasing performance across the board with apps that can use multi thread technology the i7 4960 x has 15 megabytes of cache and has an integrated memory controller that sports quad channel ddr3 and 1866 megahertz Wafaa reference the Sandy Bridge II only offered 1600 megahertz 40 PCI lanes ensures that even the most demanding Quad SLI or crossfire systems have enough available bandwidth to not get bottleneck like the z87 platform for better overclocking strapping is now back and the BL CK is a just 1 1 megahertz intervals you can also individually control the voltage of each core and within Dale's new extreme tuning utility you can easily see each element of the CPU all current x79 motherboards will work with Ivy bridge-e with a simple BIOS flash and with XMP 1.3 profiles you can have your memory automatically set to its best performance values those are

whenever you guys want to now jumping back to the conclusion of this review and this thing we've only brought you the comparisons between the Sandy Bridge and the Ivy Bridge if you guys want to see all the stuff about has one stuff you guys can check that out in the full review that's down in the link in the description below so at the end of the day though what do I really think about this new CPU well bringing to the table as far as performance goes it does bring some performance increases it's nothing to write home about and if you already have a sandy bridge-e system there's no Reese go throw that on eBay and get rid of it and upgrade now if you have a socket 2011 motherboard just waiting around and your way to make a buying decision then obviously if you want the best of the best you're gonna want to get the core i7 49 60 X because if you're doing things like rendering video editing music where you got to store all kinds of instruments this thing is gonna really kick ass if you're doing gaming you've got three monitors and you want to have full quad support and you don't want to get bottlenecked at all then you're gonna want to be looking at this now if you're somebody else out there and you're looking to buy with her Haswell or you're looking to go this direction you have to really just ask yourself what am I going to be doing with this system if you're just gonna primarily be doing gaming very light type editing and that type of stuff there's no reason why not to jump into as well now if you're somebody who use your system and you want to make money off your system mean that you need to save time by having awesome productivity then this is what you're really going to want to be looking for out of all the platforms that Intel has the high end desktop platform is for those people who use their systems for productivity editing doing that type of stuff I mean think about it the more memory support you have high processor all those open lanes when you're going in you're gonna take a bunch of 3d modeling stuff and you're gonna render that stuff out the better the system the faster it's gonna be getting done and with all the features that you get with the new Ivy bridge-e that's where this really really shines and plus for you Matt guys out there you guys all know that when the new little trash can Mac Pro comes out it's going to contain this CPU so if you guys are into the Intel platform but you like your software brought to you on the Mac side all you have to do is hold out for a little bit longer and that Chizik is going to be hitting the market so there you guys have it now this CPU is gonna come to market at about $990 I know people are gonna scream yell scream and yell scream yell but I'm gonna tell you right now you guys know we bought that FX 95 90 CPU okay it actually cost almost the identical amount as this CPU and I'm gonna tell you right now you'll see there's no comparison at all no way at all the CPU eats it up spits it out and would make in do you want to go crawling home just going what happened here but that's a whole nother can of wax so at the end of the day folks if you're gonna jump into something and you're somebody who wants productivity this might be the system you want to look for 1080p gaming save yourself some money get Haswell also you guys want to see the full in depth review scores against as well and more in depth information then check out that link down there above the like button in the description box we'll have all that stuff for you so for those people who like to read you'll be and I we also have more videos will be bringing you our test systems and they'll bring in you another video of Haswell vs. ivy bridge-e I'm Alaric thanks for staying up in the middle of night with me and seeing these videos I'm off to get a little bit of sleep you
