Compare Processor Numbers
Is faster always better? Yes, but it's not always what you should buy.
So as you evaluate the performance of the components below, don't analyze them in isolation from each other, but consider them interdependent partners that make up your projected system. And, keep in mind that your future needs—adding software from a growing family or a growing business—might be different later.
We have provided definitions you need to know so you can better understand how each will work together in your system.

Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See www.intel.com/products/processor_number for details.
‡1 Based on SPECint_rate_base2006* scores. Results have been based on internal Intel analysis and are provided for informational purposes only. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance. See www.intel.com/performance/desktop/extreme/index.htm for additional information.
◊1 Intel® Turbo Boost Technology requires a PC with a processor with Intel Turbo Boost Technology capability. Intel Turbo Boost Technology performance varies depending on hardware, software, and overall system configuration. Check with your PC manufacturer on whether your system delivers Intel Turbo Boost Technology. See www.intel.com/technology/turboboost/ for more information.
◊2 Intel® Core™ i7-920 processor with a 2.0 GHz base frequency reaches a maximum Turbo frequency of 3.20 GHz. See www.intel.com/technology/turboboost/.
◊3 Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) requires a computer system with a processor supporting Intel® HT Technology and an Intel® HT Technology-enabled chipset, BIOS and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. For more information including details on which processors support Intel® HT Technology, see www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading/.
‡2 Performance measured based on SiSoftware* Sandra*, comparing Intel® Core™ i7-975 Extreme Processor to the Intel® Core™2 Extreme processor QX9770 and the Intel® Core™ i7-920XM processor and the Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor QX9300. Actual performance may vary. See www.intel.com/performance/desktop/extreme/ for more information.
‡3 Intel® High Definition Experience and Performance Ratings Test 2009 (Intel® HDXPRT 2009) is a benchmark that runs consumer digital media applications on a PC, measures performance, and provides an indicator of the expected quality of video playback. Intel® HDXPRT 2009 automatically runs tests using commercially available applications from the following usage categories: music encoding, photo and video editing, and High Definition video playback. Test compared the Intel® Core™ i7-920XM processor and the Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor QX9300. Actual performance may vary. See www.intel.com/performance/desktop/extreme/ for more information. Results may vary depending on many variables including the processor, memory, disk drive, graphics card and operating system on the test system. For more information go to: www.intelcapabilitiesforum.net/downloads/hdxprt/.
‡4 WARNING: Altering clock frequency and/or voltage may: (i) reduce system stability and useful life of the system and processor; (ii) cause the processor and other system components to fail; (iii) cause reductions in system performance; (iv) cause additional heat or other damage; and (v) affect system data integrity. Intel has not tested, and does not warranty, the operation of the processor beyond its specifications. Intel assumes no responsibility that the processor, including if used with altered clock frequencies and/or voltages, will be fit for any particular purpose.
