Intel is a world-renowned company that does not need to be imagined. For many years, it has been one of the world's largest processor and chips manufacturers. It is now launching the best desktop processors, the performance of which is once again scaled down. In essence, this is a server version adapted for gaming. The Intel Core i7-6800K processor is designed for motherboards equipped with a modern LGA2011-3 socket and an upgraded Intel X99 Express chipset.
Intel is a world-renowned company that leaves little room for doubt. For many years, it has been one of the world's largest processor and chipset manufacturers. It is now launching the best desktop processors, once again with scaled down performance. In essence, this is a server version adapted for gaming. The Intel Core i7-7820X processor is designed for motherboards equipped with the LGA 2066 socket and the upgraded Intel X299 chipset.
The processor offers 8 physical cores and is part of the new, modern X series. It uses a 14nm manufacturing process using the latest technology. Each core runs at a basic frequency of 3.6GHz with Turbo mode and automatic overclocking up to 4.2GHz. As with the previous generation, the memory controller is integrated into the chip directly. It is a four-channel DDR4 memory controller that can now operate at up to 2666MHz. The processor also has a cache with 11MB capacity.
This is a relatively sophisticated adjustment to the CPU itself. Intel uses a fairly common heat conductive paste between the chip and the heat transfer. Local overheating of the processor during overclocking happens in a matter of seconds. Michal Mikle can safely "unwrap" the processor, apply a good paste, and then return everything back to its original form. The result is a noticeable drop in temperature during maximum performance.
Because it mainly deals with desktop processors, Intel comes with advanced technology that allows for removeable hardware. Turbo Boost Max 3.0 is able to test each core individually and choose the best ones. At the upper power limit, the difference may be 15%. This selected core will then continue to run at maximum frequency, and the system will use it preferentially.
