Intel Core i7-3820 Processor Review (10M Cache, 3.60 GHz) @ TechwareLabs

This isn't your typical LGA2011 processor but does pack quite a punch when it comes to raw speed.  3.6Ghz to be exact.

The 2XXX Second Generation of the Intel Core Processor Family took off this past year with many early adopters pleasantly surprised by the abundance of speed, updated technologies, and better graphics integration. Here at TechwareLabs we had the pleasure of reviewing the i5-2500K and i7-2600K last year with future prospect of greater economical choices to come in Q1 2012. The Sandy Bridge-E i7-3800 Desktop series takes on many of the 2nd Gen i7-2XXX series features with a boost in base clock speed, cache, and thermal specification.

Keep in mind this is the quad core edition running with about the same power as a high-end Ivy Bridge.  The only major difference is quad channel memory common to Sandy Bridge E vs dual channel found on the mainstream LGA1155.
