On a Chinese website are benchmarks of Intel’s new Core i7-4960X-processor appeared. The hexacore cpu with socket 2011 sets out performance that is about three to eight percent higher than that of the Core i7-3970X, from the Sandy Bridge-E generation.
The Chinese Coolaler would be an engineering sample of the Core i7-4960X. The processor has, just like the pastor in the Sandy Bridge E-series socket 2011-foot and works on motherboards with the X79 chipset. The clock speed of the cpu is 3.6 GHz and get a tdp of 130 watts; 20 watts lower than that of the 3970X, which is standard on the 3.5 GHz tap.

Coolaler edited the 3970X on a MSI X79A-GD45 Plus motherboard. For the tests with the 4960X was an unknown motherboard; the site censored the cpu-z screenshots. The results show that the Ivy Bridge-E three to eight percent faster than its predecessor. The performance gains is not very high, which in itself is not remarkable; the Ivy Bridge-E is a die shrink of the Sandy Bridge-E processor. According to the site Intel has the date when the i7-4960X release pushed back, namely from the third to the fourth quarter of 2013.
