Intel Core i5-750 LGA1156 Processor Review :: Posted by THRASHER2
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 and, as such, has seen only a minimal share of the desktop market. Today, however, Intel is releasing 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 i5-750 Quad Core Processor.

Expect faster performance, improved power consumption and greater efficiency. With the i5-750 set to sell for $199, the time to build that new PC is now.

Intel Core i5 750 & i7 870 Review :: Posted by THRASHER2
"Overall, both new flavors of Lynnfield are great processors. At stock speeds, the i5 750 doesn't eclipse AMD's offerings as far as performance goes, but clock-for-clock Intel is far ahead. In fact, their 2.66 GHz processor manages to keep up and beat AMD's 3.4 GHz chip, albeit with Turbo which does provide a notable performance boost."
