Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition Review @ Techgage

I was one of the lucky ones that had to buy this processor for launch, but you know I don't mind.

To those looking to build the biggest, baddest high-end PC around, the wait for Sandy Bridge-E was no doubt painful. But, it's finally here, and much to our expectations, Intel has once again solidified its position as the performance leader. So let's take a look at what it offers, and compare it to the i7-990X, i7-2600K and AMD FX-8150.

Sandy Bridge E is, by far, the most powerful architecture available but with only marginal overclocking ability.  With any luck you'll be able to see this in our next motherboard review.
