Digital Storm's Core i5 System Reviewed @ HotHardware.com

[news 28]

 

 

Hello All,

 

When Intel introduced its LGA1166 Lynnfield processors earlier this fall,

one of its goals was to introduce Nehalem's advanced technology at lower

price points. To that end, Digital Storm has designed a high-end system

around the P55 chipset and Core i5 processor. At a price of ~$1900, the

customized system isn't what you'd call cheap, but it's still less

expensive than some of the Core i7 PCs we've seen recently, several of

which landed between $3100-$4000 dollars. At first glance, the 2.67GHz Core

i5 might not seem to be capable competition for Core i7 processors running

at 3.2GHz and above, but Digital Storm has a trick up its sleeve. The

relatively pedestrian quad-core has, in this case, been punched up to

3.8GHz from the factory. DS claims that the processors it ships in this

configuration have been certified to operate "100% Stability and

Reliability." We test that claim in the review...
