Intel Core i7 920 Processor BX80601920
You have to see the most significant architectural change in the x86 personal computer processor architecture in 13 years, the Intel Core i7. Intel's engineers have completely reinvented their CPU design, removing the antiquated Front Side Bus and replacing it with the new Intel QuickPath Interconnect, delivering up to 6.4 GT/s. Also new to the Core i7 line is the integrated memory controller, supporting Triple Channel DDR3 Memory allowing for more maximum memory capacity and performance, up to 24GB on some boards, and faster access times. Located directly on the CPU semiconductor die is 256KB per core of L2 cache and 8MB L3 cache shared across all four cores means the CPU can do more without having to access the main memory, further increasing performance.
The Intel Core i7 processor is the latest in cutting edge processor technology for the desktop PC. Based on the new Intel Nehalem microarchitecture, the Intel Core i7 processor delivers four complete execution cores within a single processor along with the rebirth of Intel HyperThreading Technology, delivering unprecedented performance and responsiveness in multi-threaded and multi-tasking business and home use environments and the ability to simultaneously process up to 8 separate threads.
The unprecedented performance of the Intel Core i7 processor is made possible by each of the four complete execution cores delivering the full power of Intel Nehalem microarchitecture. More instructions can be carried out per clock cycle, shorter and wider pipelines execute commands more quickly, and improved bus lanes move data throughout the system faster. This quad-core, eight-thread processor represents Intel’s continued leadership and drive of multi-core processing and more parallel computing.
Doing More with Intel Quad-Core
The Intel Core i7 processor is at the center of today’s most interactive and content rich software experiences. The evolving set of threaded multi-media
applications, including digital content creation, will shine as users are able to complete tasks faster. Game play can achieve even greater visualization and
realism as tasks such as artificial intelligence (AI), physics, and rendering can be distributed across each of the four complete execution cores and run
in parallel.

I built a new system. I am not a heavy gamer or overclocker, but I really like this chip. I have tinkered with overclocking a little and it responds well. It blows the doors off of my old system. I added 6GB of RAM too. I would highly recommend this chip.

Have used this chip for 4 months now, and have yet to find a single thing that it can't do. It runs hot on air, but with water cooling the sky is the limit. I have it running at 4.8 G and it is stable and with my water cooling runs at 43 Degrees C at full load under Prime 95. Great processor and very fast. You can't go wrong.
works and then some

I have had this CPU at 4.7 Ghz stable on air. Does run hot so I backed it down to 4.3 and its wonderful. Don't pay more than you have to. You can't notice much speed increase above this. Its faster than your mind can get it.
