• It provides a higher-performance, more efficient cache subsystem. Optimized for industry leading multi-threaded games!
• It is designed for increased bandwidth and low latency. It can achieve data transfer speeds as high as 25.6 GB/sec.
• It enables three channels of DDR3 1066 MHz memory. This memory controller's lower latency and higher memory bandwidth delivers amazing performance for data-intensive applications.

Upgraded computer from 4 core i-5 to i7-2600s: acts like 8 cores operating at 2.8 ghz, power consumption decreased from 125 watts to 85-91 watts (measured output of UPS). Runs consistently at 92 95 F. using the i-5's heat sink & fan. I participate in stronomy survey's on BOINC, i.e. Einstein (serch for pulsars, SETI/Astropulse (search for intelligent life/search for longer duration pulse signals from star implosions, explosions)... with 24/7 @ 100 usage, the processor is doing great!
