Intel Core i7-4960X
Turbo technology boosts performance
The Intel Core i7-4960X boosts your performance sky-high. Compared to the previous generation, Ivy Bridge-E brings a significant increase in overall computing and gaming performance, especially thanks to the six cores utilising the Hyper-Threading technology for simultaneous processing of up to twelve threads. Along with an unlocked multiplier and the advantages of the 22nm manufacturing process, these attributes make this processor a truly uncompromising solution.
New Generation of Lightning-fast Cache
Data access is extremely fast thanks to the L3 cache with the size of 15 MB, which ensures immediate response in all applications.
The Haswell-E CPU family also introduces a quad-channel memory controller with a phenomenal maximum transfer rate and a full-fledged quad-channel memory support for DDR4 modules with a frequency of 2133 MHz. Additionally, the efficient algorithms of the memory controller give you an incredibly low latency and guarantee high performance even in the most demanding applications.

Automatic Overclocking
The second generation of the Turbo Boost technology boosts the clock frequency up to 4.0 GHz and enables the cores to exceed their stock frequency. The maximum frequency depends on the number of active cores, while the length of the overclocking period depends on the workload and operating environment. The upper frequency limit is determined by reaching threshold values of the four indicators (number of active cores, electric current drawn, power consumption, CPU temperature).
Key Features
- Uncompromising computing power with great overclocking potential
- Compatible with the LGA 2011-3 socket (the latest revision of LGA 2011)
- Six cores operating at frequencies up to 4.0 GHz
- Requires a high-quality cooler
