Processors and Their Characteristics Three of the latest and fastest processors available are the 1 Intel Core i7-980x. This is the leader in speed. For under $1,000 the “3.33GHz Core i7-980x (with overclocking to 3.6 GHz) is Intel’s flagship.” (Murphy, 2010) It's the first desktop-grade CPU with six physical cores, but hyper threading yields 12 virtualized ones. The six cores share 12MB of integrated L3 cache. The end result is a measurable performance boost for optimized applications--and

and prime quadruplets when he noticed the inconsistences; Nicely reported it to Intel and sent out several emails out asking if anyone else had experienced the flaw and to see if he was wrong. On November 7, 1994 the story first broke out in an article in Electrical Engineering Times. Intel’s spokesman Steve Smith said in the article that Intel corrected the glitch in subsequent runs of the chip; Smith said that Intel dismisses the flaw, saying that it doesn’t qualify as an errata.
