Resource HWBot has impressive statistics not only on the processor's frequency potential , but also by their range. This allows to make some conclusions about the popularity of certain models among enthusiasts . For this reason, the analytical resources HWInsights last week appeared Statistics popularity of Intel processors in the desktop segment, starting in November 2008. Conditional index of popularity, is plotted on the vertical scale to determine the most popular models of multi-core processors with free multiplier.
The most popular at the moment are the processors generation Core i7-920 Bloomfield, Core i7-980X Gulftown generation and Core i7-5960X generation Haswell-E. Demand for such processors, according to the authors of the study, defined by the presence of significant differences from its predecessors, but it does not depend on the price. Except, however, the CPU Core i7-920.
With processor Core i7-980X (Gulftown), still remains the most popular, the situation is different - he first proposed six core enthusiasts and surpassed its predecessor by volume cache, so it gained even $ 999 per share at the time of the announcement. Similarly, the growing popularity of processor Core i7-5960X (Haswell-E): the only difference is that it offers by eight cores and support for four-channel DDR4.
We add that the processors Sandy Bridge-E and Ivy Bridge-E to achieve significant popularity failed because they did not offer the most compelling advantages over Gulftown, and many owners simply prefer to wait for Haswell-E. Related Products :
