Upgrade your system with the Core i7-860 and own the one of best processors in the world. These CPU powerhouses are designed to handle the most intense compute and visualization workloads you can throw at them. Core i7 processors allow you to multitask faster and unleash powerful media creation tools. Best of all, the 8MB of Intel Smart Cache gives you blazing speeds you never realized were possible.
Take advantage of Intel Turbo Boost technology which dynamically accelerates CPU performance to match your workload. Hyper-Threading technology effectively doubles the output of your four physical cores, giving you unmatched data processing. The Integrated Memory Controller optimizes data bandwidth with up to three channels.
Smart Cache provides a higher-performance, more efficient cache subsystem while HD Boost accelerates overall system performance across your multimedia applications. Add the Intel Core i7-860 to your system and you’ll never look back. Experience the convenience, versatility and raw power of Intel Core i7 processors today!
Intel Core i7 Quad-core Processor With four processing cores, the multitasking monster Quad-Core Intel Core i7 processor delivers fourfold the performance on highly-threaded applications, taking your desktop PC experience into a completely new realm of mega power. The powerful processor delivers serious performance on the ultra-demanding games of today and tomorrow. The innovative 45nm quad-core technology optimizes thermal performance for reduced power consumption and noise.
Integrated DDR3 Memory Controller With the integrated DDR3 memory controller, the Intel Core i7 enables two channels of DDR3 1333 MHz memory, resulting in up to 21 GB/sec memory bandwidth. Plus the memory controller's lower latency and higher memory bandwidth delivers amazing performance for data-intensive applications.
Intel Advanced Smart Cache Intel Advanced Smart Cache Technology dynamically allocates the shared L2 cache to each processor core based on workload. This efficient, multi-core-optimized implementation increases the probability that each core can access data from fast L2 cache, resulting in significantly reduced latency for frequently used data and improved performance.
Intel Turbo Boost technology Intel Turbo Boost technology maximizes speed for demanding applications, dynamically accelerating performance to match your workload-more performance when you need it the most.
Intel Wide Dynamic Execution With Intel Wide Dynamic Execution, each of the four cores can complete up to four full instructions simultaneously, improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle.
Greater Performance with Hyper-Threading Technology (HT Technology) Hyper-threading enables multi-threaded software applications to execute two software threads in parallel to improve system responsiveness. Intel Core i7 enabled with HT Technology deliver performance and multitasking gains that result in increased productivity and efficiency.
Pros: Lovely little chip, lighting fast and great price.
Cons: As always with Intel, the stock cpu fan it comes with suck's. easy fix though. ;)

Rating: 5/5One of the best!!
Pros: After having this installed for almost a year it has not given me a hint of a problem. Currently have it clocked at 3.35 GHz but tested to 4.25 for over a week on a Masscool water cooler with no problems. Highest temp at 47c, at 3.35 it's steady at 33c.
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: Some complain about the price but you get a outstanding cpu for the price

Rating: 5/5AOC (Awesomeness on a Chip)
Pros: Once I heard about the Core i7 line, I really wanted one and I felt the 860 was the best value when I purchased this in the fall of '09. Extremely fast and I love the 8 cores...
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: For my next upgrade I'm looking at the Intel X25-E 32GB SSD. I want to install my OS there and use my current hard drives for storage only.

Rating: 5/5Ridiculously Fast
Pros: Awesome fast chip, has greatly reduced H.264 encoding over Core 2 Duo (75 min -> 13 min).
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Haven't started any sort of overclocking yet, waiting to upgrade the rest of the system first.

Rating: 5/5Beastly CPU
Pros: Lots of pros with this one. Its an i7 for the 1156 socket so you can save some money instead of going for 1366. So far i have it OC to 4.01 ghz with 1.312 idle volts and 1.344 full load. For gaming, editing, and other apps its super fast. Also i bought my cpu from Micro Center (sorry newegg) and at the time they were selling for 200 bucks :O
Cons: Stock Fan obviously, people shouldn't be knocking eggs off cause of that. By an aftermarket cooler, im using the noctua nh-d14 cooler and my OC doesn't go higher than 74c full load.
Also the i7 8xx series require alot more vots than the 9xx series FOR oc which is why im kinda regretting my choice, but for performance its amazing :)
Pros: Four cores working at rediculously high speed, runs very cool with the 45nm process with even the stock fan (at stock speeds, of course).
Cons: The 1156 stepped down from three-channel memory to two-channel. I'm not sure what prompted it other than consumer demand.
Other Thoughts: The heart of a true multi-tasking computer, this is the stuff server mainframes are made of...only it's in your home computer. Love it.

Rating: 5/5Great Bang For The Buck
Pros: Good performance, great price.
Cons: Isn't the most powerful processor out there.
Other Thoughts: A great balance of price and function. Paired it up with a Coolit Vantage for low temp running even in a tiny case.

Rating: 4/5Runs HOT!
Pros: Good Value, lots of features (virtualization support, hyperthreading, turbo boost yada yada). I had this one pegged the day it came out since then many competitor's have come up, but for my applications it was the best bang for buck, multi-threaded rendering, and large single threaded apps.
Cons: The stock cooler is garbage, if you're planning on doing any heavy multi-threaded work do yourself a favor and pick up a Notcua NH-D14 I lowered my 100% (all 8 cores) load temp by 25 deg over the stock cooler that would routinely sound the overheat alarm on my motherboard. I have no idea why intel thought to equip this fine processor with a reference cooler the size of a thick coaster....
Other Thoughts: Kinda miffed cause newegg had the i7 875k on sale for the same price the day after i ordered my i7 860 but all in all it's a great chip and gets the job done very fast!
