The Intel processor for enthusiasts LGA 2011 in the first quarter next year was supplemented by a new member, the model Core i7-3820. Unlike their counterparts, this solution has all 4 cores, 10 MB cache in the third level, the base frequency 3.6 GHz and unlocked multiplier. The processor also supports 40 lines PCI Express 3.0, has a four-channel memory controller . Coupled with the low price which is $ 294 and support basic platform overclocking features , Core i7-3820 is a worthy proposal.
According to assocaite the performance of Core i7-2600K and Core i7-3820 are approximately equal , but the latter is ahead in the tests that are sensitive to the volume of third cache level and the presence of two additional memory channels. These benchmarks are traditionally the synthetic, and in everyday situations, the user is unlikely to reveal critical differences between the models. For comparaison with Sandy Bridge-E Core i7-3960X, the difference is predictable due to the absence of two core, the junior processor lags behind by about 20%.
The multiplier may be increased up to 44x (base is equal to 36x), which already gives the frequency of 4.4 GHz. The theoretical limit of frequency is increased up to 5.5 GHz (125 MHz BLCK frequency) .
In the end, Core i7-3820 turned out to be interesting, in terms of positioning product. The choice of motherboard with LGA 1155 is wide . Core i7-3820 support more PCI Express lines, a greater amount of L3 cache and other features of Sandy Bridge-E processor, which in combination, for example, with the motherboard Gigabyte x79-UD3 , may be a good choice.
