So I was running a Core i5-750 for quite a while, since it came out and I upgraded to a Core i7 2600K for my main system. I still have the Core i5 system as a secondary one but a friend of mine was looking to upgrade his single core AMD system to...

There’s very little to dislike about the i5-760, as it’s essentially a slightly faster i5-750 for the same price. The only disappointment was that Turbo Boost (rev 2) didn’t work as well as we’d expected, producing only a 133MHz increase rather than...

It's a minor upgrade to the Core i5-750, but with the same low price and better performance it's a real winner....

Speedier performance for more or less the same money is always welcome. That's exactly what you get from the new Intel Core i5 760. In almost every regard, it's identical to the existing Core i5 750 processor.It's therefore a quad-core chip based on...

So how has the i5-760 performed compared to the i5-750 it replaces? Like so many things the conclusion to draw is dependant upon your intended usage.Considering the relatively small difference in default CPU speeds of the i5-760 and i5-750 the i5-760...

Intel Core i5-760In the form of the Core i5-760 Intel have a CPU which gives them a little more performance in the highly competitive $200/£150 market. It builds on the solid foundations of the i5-750 which has served them well for nearly a year now...

Benchmarking 86 CPUs takes a while. After long last, though, we have 51 models from AMD and 35 from Intel tested in our current suite. If you want to know how your processor sizes up to its competition, you'll find plenty of comparison data inside! 86...

This time we'd like to offer you the summarized test results of as many as 71 processors. This generally marks the end of the year, not the end of another test method's life cycle (like the last time). We believe this summary contains all important...

The general conclusion is a bit banal: Sandy Bridge is much better than the previous core. Not as much as Core 2 (Conroe) was better than Pentium 4, but it's still a larger step forward in terms of architecture than Nehalem compared with...

Finally, a moment anticipated by many: test results of Intel's new LGA1155 platform are available. This resembles the situation with LGA1156, because the new processors will be rolled out in several steps. Today we'll get to know the details of...

Our previous review was dedicated to the Core i7-800 LGA1156 series. The conclusion was that those solutions, as well as the Core i7-900 LGA1366 series, can offer enough computing power for most tasks you may need accomplished. At least four cores and...
