About this product

Product Information

Experience the power and speed of the Intel Core i7-870 Quad-Core Lynnfield processor with model number BV80605001905AI. With a 2.93 GHz core frequency, you can maximize computing power for the most demanding applications. Intel improved the i7 series of microprocessors by creating a different kind of microarchitecture. Thanks to the Direct Media Interface technology, the i7 microprocessor provides better bandwidth than ever before, so the processor can reach its maximum potential. If you need an extra bit of power, Intel Turbo Boost enhances the processor's clock speed by up to 20 % to match your workload. For example, if you run programs like high-definition media editors, the i7 allows those programs to run effectively and smoothly. Overclocking is standard on these models, and it requires no special formatting. The processor can achieve a frequency of up to 3.60 GHz when the CPU is overclocked. The processor connects to a motherboard through socket type LGA1366.The Intel Core i7-870 microprocessor is ideal for users who need to run demanding business applications and video-editing software. It converts and compresses video up to 37 % faster than comparable devices, letting you share your high-definition videos with the world. The processor is also suitable for gamers who need an extra boost in power. The processor offers unmatched gaming performance by easily computing thousands of calculations that produce realistic graphics, artificial intelligence, and physics.The Intel i7 microprocessor includes many useful features to optimize your CPU. Hyper-threading technology improves performance with highly threaded software such as games and media players, thus making the most efficient use of the processor's resources. It essentially doubles the output of the processor's four cores. Intel SpeedStep improves the processor's balance between power and performance. Trusted Execution is a hardware-based security measure that ensures the system is properly authenticated. Execute Disable Bit reduces your computer's exposure to viruses and malicious codes. Finally, Idle States saves power when the microprocessor is idle by putting the CPU into a low-power mode.This quad-core microprocessor delivers excellent computing power on your server, workstation, desktop, or mobile platforms alike. It's based on the 45 nm core micro-architecture design. With an LGA1156 socket, it's compatible with motherboards based on the Intel X58 Express chipset. It has a 2.5 GT/s bus speed for added Giga transfers per second to transmit more data between different parts of the microprocessor. The i7-850 also has two channels of DDR3 1333 MHz memory and a bandwidth of 21GB per second. It supports a maximum memory size of 16GB. It also has 8MB of smart cache memory, which means that all cores on the microprocessor can share access to the L2 cache in a much more efficient manner. The memory cache stores the most frequently used data. By improving resource allocation, the system can reduce latency within the CPU.The Intel Core i7-850 is an energy-efficient microprocessor. It averages about 95W when operating at its base frequency with every core active. The innovative design optimizes thermal output and reduces power consumption and noise. The Intel Core i7-870 quad-core microprocessor lets you multitask faster and handle more demanding workloads than ever before. Upgrade from the previous generation of processors and give your computer a boost.

  • You take your chances if your MOBO is an ASUS P7P55D PRO

    50% chance it will work but not CPU problem, the problem is the pins on the socket on the ASUS P7P55D motherboard, this particular type of MOBO is prone to have slightly bent pins, that gives you errors, for example, the memory controller may see only 1/2 of the memory you have installed, it happened to me on the computer I wished to upgrade, fortunately I had another identical computer, where the CPU worked fine. It is a nice 30% increase on speed wrt the i5-750 I had on it.

  • i7-870 CPU Upgrade very successful!

    Intel Core i7-870 CPU has been installed in my old Dell Inspiron 580 for about 1 month now and it's running great! Very happy with the upgrade from the original Core i3 processor. Highly recommend the upgrade. Also upgraded the RAM to 16GB, installed a new SSD hard drive, and a GeForce GTX-650 graphics card.

  • Powerful and easy to install

    Th Intel Core i7 is great, it made my computer a little faster that it was before (converted from i3), an important factor for the success of the change is I increase the computer's memory to 16GB . Now Office 2017 suite (including Outlook) work perfectly smooth. the new CPU gave my computer the power , and performance I needed.

  • A processor for impatient people

    This upgrade along with additional memory and a new video card was a perfect fix for my sluggish PC. I recently learned that there are more than one flavor of the I7 processor, the ones that have built in video support and ones that don't. My motherboard has a built in video chipset with a display port/vga port built in. The processor that I received, did not support the on-motherboard video hardware. Once I installed the new PCI-Express video adapter, I was in tall cotton!

  • Excellent upgrade from i3-530

    System is extremely responsive with this CPU installed. Two more cores and four more threads compared to the i3-530. Great buy.

  • Fast Processor for its period

    I have an elderly P55 motherboard and this CPU doubled the speed of the machine. It brings it close to modern Intel offerings, considering Intel has not done much in 8 years. Doubling the speed of processors doesn't make a machine fly. That's all they have done.

  • No problems

    Works very well as for the price...for the life of me I don't understand why 1st gen 1156 chips are selling so high...i recommend shopping around..as for the chip itself it's a great chip and I had no problems with it..but if you can find a xeon x3470 which is the same chip I would recommend that as you can get it for about 30-40 bucks

  • Great Packaging, on time delivery

    I've had the processor for about two weeks and it's great! I upgraged from the dual core i5 650 to this higher end CPU. Even though it's only a first generation i7 I can still feel the porformance difference. Delivery was prompt and on time, the packaging was well done and protected the product on its journey. After opening it I found that the processor hardly had a scratch on it, not that it mattered much since it would be hidden away in the computer's underbelly, it was nice though.
