The Core i5 was the second CPU from Intel to come with an integrated memory controller (the Core i7 was the first, while the Core i3 was the third), feature present on CPUs from AMD since the Athlon 64. Core i5 CPUs are based on the Core architecture, ...

You don't get multithreaded processing power with the i5-750; as a result, this quad-core suffers on multitasking tests. ...

The Core i5 750 offers superlative performance, is eager to overclock and at US $192, is temptingly priced as well. ...

PCWizKid is definitely impressed how Intel PCWizKid Recommendedfinally has brought something new and refreshing to the processor market to compete for roughly 200 USD against AMD's latest Phenom II 955 and 965 processors. It's priced right and op...

For about three months now, we have been talking about the next step in Intel's tick-tock strategy of introducing products. All of the new i series CPUs were made using Nehalem architecture, so the new 32 nm CPUs represent only a die shrink, in ca...

Lack of support for Intel Hyper Threading didn’t have significant impact of performance levels, except in synthetic benchmarks. Compared to Core i7 920, which has HT and one memory channel more, only real difference can be seen in rendering applicat...

When Nehalem launched, we received processors that were more powerful than anything we used before, and the brand-new architecture was a lot of fun to experiment with. But as I said before, there were a few reasons why people either chose to go with C...

Through testing the i5-750, you will easily find out that this processor coupled with an affordable P55 motherboard would be an excellent upgrade for almost everyone other than the small niche percentage needed serious processing power. Even at the t...

To end with, Id like to say that there are still a couple of subjects left to be dealt with when talking about Core i5; for instance the power consumption and the in-game performance difference. Well be seeing a lot of new LGA1156-based products in t...

Looking back, quad-core processors have had quite the run already. Intel's first quad-core CPU, the Core 2 Extreme QX6700 was released almost three years ago, with the much more popular Q6600 following up months later at a rather steep $850. As you may...

While Intel did separate the Core i5 and i7 CPUs in the new socket with the inclusion of HyperThreading - the vaunted simultaneous multithreading - for the i7 chips, as well as higher clock multipliers, there are no other differences save obviously p...

Much of what made Core i7-920 such a popular processor was its overclockability. With very little effort, you could clock the 2.66GHz Core i7-920 higher than a $1,000 Core i7-975 Extreme. Likewise, the Core i5-750 is also responsive to higher reference clock frequencies..

In nearly all of our benchmarks today, the Intel Core i5-750 outperformed the AMD Phenom II X4 965 and the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450. In many tests, it even matched the Core i7-920. Needless to say, the BX80605I5750 kit earns top marks in performance. Th...

on INTEL’s Lynnfield If there were any doubts or initial skepticism of Lynnfield’s performance, clearly those doubts are erased today! Both Hyper and non-Hyperthreaded versions of Lynnfield are super strong performers when it comes to task intensive P...

Intel is on the verge of transitioning to 32nm. We'll see the first parts this year. What do you do with your 45nm fabs when you start moving volume away from them? Make really cheap quad-core Nehalems of course:I'm talking $196. I'm talking faster th...

With that in mind, even if you like the look of the Core i5-750, you really should decide whether you can stretch to an i7-920 as things currently stand, just to make sure you're getting a good deal. Either way, our advice is to go out and buy a Core i7-920 before Intel realises its mistake and discontinues it.

So there you have it: The Lynnfield series processors come very much recommended. The Core i5 750 and Core i7 870 come very much recommended, but that Core i7 860 makes the most sense price performance wise.

The Intel Core i5-750 offer the biggest bang for the buck and with a solid motherboard like the ASUS P7P55D Deluxe that we benchmarked on you can easily break the 4GHz mark and then some. We were able to reach over 4.3GHz on the Core i7-870 by only increasing the base clock...

The Lynnfield is a worth successor to the Yorkfield. As Core i5-750 as well as Core i7-860 the new core shows that it is not inferior to the expensive Bloomfield. The performance benefit might not be as big as it had been from the Pentium D to the Cor...

Intels new Lynnfield Core i7 and Core i5 processors werent intended to win overall performance crowns, but they came closer than many expected them to in our testing. Lynnfield indeed brings the features and performance of the Nehalem architecture ...

The Lynnfield chips combination of price, performance, and power efficiency effectively clears the field in the desktop CPU market, leaving little room for competition from the Phenom II or older, cheaper Core 2 Quad processors—or even faster, prici...

Theres a lot to like about the LGA 1156 CPU lineup. Before we go any farther into the conclusion lets look at the expected price at the 1k distribution level. With the i5 750 priced at $196 on a thousand CPUs we can expect to see it surfacing aroun...

Pricing and Availability: Starting today, you should be able to find these new CPUs at leading retailers in your locale as well as online destionations and breaks down as follows: Its easy to get giddy with todays new CPUs from Intel as they abso...

The Core i5-750 is going to offer huge overclocks on some very feature-rich motherboards that are looking to hit the market at about $230. So far the MSI P55-GD80 is my favorite. One thing we have not mentioned is our..

It is interesting to note that in this article we featured three new processors, being the Phenom II X4 965, Core i5 750 and Core i7 860, all of which cost less than $300 US and are able to outperform the Core 2 Quad Q9650. Now when you consider the fa...

Ultimately, Intel's has done what they set out to do with Lynnfield--bring Nehalem's features and benefits down into more mainstream price points. The new Core i5 and Core i7 800 series processors are excellent additions to Intel's already stellar CPU line-up and the..

Intel has a whole family of products with this launch with new processors, new motherboards to support the processors and a new Platform Controller Hub that changes their entire cost equation. If you want a CPU that offers decent performance without sp...

So the mainstream iteration of Nehalem has now hit the street -- and it should be a success story. The benchmarking numbers speak for themselves, no matter how you look at them. As of right now, the Core i5 750 and i7 860 are superior options to AMD's latest quad-cores

Despite some hassles with a quirky motherboard, our experience with the new Lynnfield processors were mainly positive. They do not offer the kind of performance increase that LGA1366 brought to the table, but they bridge the gap between Core 2 Quads a...

All in all, LGA1156 platform makes a very good impression. And although it is evident that Intel’s main goal with the new Lynnfield family launch is the transfer of Nehalem microarchitecture to the mainstream price segment, we often got the feeling...

As for general performance, we can say Core i7
