Now there is a family of smart processors that can provide extra performance when you need it, and increased energy efficiency when you don't. Introducing, the Intel Core i7-875K Unlocked Processor 2.93 GHz with 8 MB L3 shared cache. this newly-released processor is overclocking enabled to allow full control over the processor core/turbo and DDR ratios for the best possible overclocking results. These unlocked processors are compatible with boards based on P55, H57 and H55 chipsets. Additional features include: Intel Turbo Boost Technology which accelerates performance to match your workload Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (Quad-core with eight-way multi-task processing)   Like a modern sports car that delivers power and traction to the wheels where they're needed, Intel Turbo Boost Technology automatically speeds up the processor when the PC needs extra performance so, even if you're running multiple applications at the same time, turbo boost taps any unused power to give you an extra boost of speed. Intel Hyper-Threading Technology lets your processor do many things at the same time, similar to a toaster with four slots instead of two. The result is, you can do a lot more in less time. Included in box: processor, manual, and chassis sticker, and it comes with a three-year limited warranty. Heatsink and fan NOT included.
