Very useful post for all who don't the extent of Intel. All think that AMD has got the best gaming processors but this is a myth ! Many think that if a processor has more cores it will be better in performance which is wrong and that's why I am making this post so that eyes of such people gets open. And this week will be the processor week and in these 7 days I will be posting about top 7 gaming processors of the world. So lets talk about the top most one the Intel Core i7 3960X.

It has a 15 MB of Cache and has a base frequency of 3.3GHz and which can go upto 3.9 GHz by Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, it has 6 cores and 12 threads, its has DMI of 5GT/s and Bus/Core ratio of 57 and is build on 32nm technology and ofcourse it supports 64 bit instruction set. It has Max TDP of 130 W and has VID Voltage Range between 0.6V - 1.35V and have a maximum temperature of 66.8°C . And now lets talk about its supported memory, you can add upto 64GB of DDR3 4 channel 1066/1333/1600 RAM. It has got 10 PCI Express Ports. Talking about some of its supported advance technologies.
