Hello Everyone,

This most recent metamorphosis of the PC hasn't been kind to the high-end

desktop processor segment. While the industry as a whole continues to focus

on the steadily growing ultra-mobile market, and releases new products in

rapid succession, there have only been two major flagship desktop

processors released since the Intel Core i7-3960X hit the scene in late

2011-the slightly faster Intel Core i7-3970X and AMD's limited edition

FX-9590. And even then, AMD's chip is most likely going to compete with

Intel's more mainstream quad-core parts. We'll know exactly how it performs

soon enough, when we complete our full evaluation of the FX-9590.

Low-power parts that fit into small form factors may be all the rage right

now, but today Intel advances the high-end desktop processor segment

forward with the official unveiling of its Ivy Bridge-E microarchitecture

and its associated products. The Core i7-4960X Extreme Edition processor is

the flagship product in Intel's initial line-up of Ivy Bridge-E based parts

and just so happens to be the processor we'll be showing you here today...
