Review of the Intel Core i7-4960X Ivy Bridge-E CPU. This most recent metamorphosis of the PC hasn't been kind to the high-end desktop processor segment. While the industry as a whole continues to focus on the steadily growing ultra-mobile market, and releases new products in rapid succession, there have only been two major flagship desktop processors released since the Intel Core i7-3960X hit the scene in late 2011-the slightly faster Intel Core i7-3970X and AMD's limited edition FX-9590. And even then, AMD's chip is most likely going to compete with Intel's more mainstream quad-core parts. We'll know exactly how it performs soon enough, when we complete our full evaluation of the FX-9590. Low-power parts that fit into small form factors may be all the rage right now, but today Intel advances the high-end desktop processor segment forward with the official unveiling of its Ivy Bridge-E microarchitecture and its associated products. The Core i7-4960X Extreme Edition processor is the flagship product in Intel's initial line-up of Ivy Bridge-E based parts and just so happens to be the processor we'll be showing you here today.
