Intel’s Newest Processors

Recently Intel came out with their newest line of chips, the Core i3, i5, and i7. These seem pretty awesome, and they are a great bunch of processing for the money. The i3’s come in 2 two core models, 2.93 Ghz and 3.06 Ghz. The i5’s come in 2 and 4 core models ranging from 2.66 to 3.46 Ghz. The i7’s come in 2, 4, and 6 core models, ranging from 2.66 to 3.33 Ghz. But dont be deceived. Not everything is based on core clock speed. When you have several cores in your processor, each of the cores runs at the listed clock speed. It’s almost like having two processors working in parallel. Each core would run at 2.66 Ghz, for example. The newest breakthrough in Intel’s line is the Core i7 extreme, with 6, yes 6, cores. It runs at 3.33 Ghz, or 19.98 total if you have them all running in tandem. It even has a turbo boost feature that brings that up to 3.6 Ghz. I dont have a G to drop on one of these amazing chips, but if you have one, let me know how it runs. I want to hear about all of your Core i series experiences.
