Review on Processor Intel Core i7-3820 LGA2011, 4 x 3600 MHz, BOX by Adam Trela ᠌

For a long time there will be no better processors, it is necessary to change the very principle of operation (architecture) of processors - alas, Moore's law no longer works. Now there are 5960s, but practically nothing has changed - the cores have been increased - the frequency has been reduced - the heat pack is 140W. With a processor cost of $10 ($500 sale - 5000% of REVENUE), Intel could have thought about improving since 2022, but they don't want to - such a profit. About the stone - overclocked it in air to 5.2 MHz at a core voltage of 1.75V - test, turned off all protection for the mother, raised PLL to 2V and SA to 1.70V, run for 12 hours at 100% percent load ( converting 3d video to DVD FAB), throttling did not work, percent. alive, checked the BOX processor for a guarantee, the percent heated up to 105 degrees Celsius (this is not the limit for silicon). In games, well, if, Metro LL and Crysis 3, then yes - at 5.2 GHz with the GTX 780 it is noticeable with the same 3930k at 3.2 GHz, although in some scenes in the metro LL FPS sagged to 18. These games love multithreading and performance per core. The processor is a beast, if you took it for video conversion and other tasks when used 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 (366) days a year - feel free to use it - it will not let you down, and boldly overclock it - do not be afraid, your failures in overclocking will be covered by the warranty, although I doubt that you will "burn" it, even with a special desire. I hope my chaotic review helped someone with a choice.
