Product Overview
The Intel Core i7-940 processor stands as a powerhouse in desktop computing, engineered to deliver exceptional performance for both gaming enthusiasts and demanding professionals. With its launch in Q4 2008, this processor is notable for its robust specifications and advanced technology. Operating at a base clock speed of 2.93 GHz, it features a remarkable Max Turbo Frequency of up to 3.2 GHz, pushing the boundaries of speed and efficiency.
Equipped with 4 cores and 8 threads, the i7-940 allows for seamless multitasking, enabling users to run multiple applications simultaneously without compromising performance. The 8 MB Intel Smart Cache optimizes data access and enhances overall processing speeds, ensuring that even the most resource-intensive tasks are handled with ease.
The processor's 45 nm lithography and a robust thermal design power (TDP) of 130 W ensure reliable performance while managing heat effectively. With a quick path interconnect (QPI) speed of 4.8 GT/s and a single QPI link, data transfer between the processor and other components occurs swiftly, reducing latency and improving system responsiveness.
Designed for compatibility with a 64-bit instruction set and supporting the SSE4.2 instruction set extensions, this CPU excels at executing complex calculations, making it an excellent choice for both creative applications and gaming. While embedded options are not available, the i7-940 stands alone as a reliable CPU that can serve as the backbone of any high-performance desktop setup. This OEM CPU is an excellent investment for anyone looking to enhance their computing experience with proven Intel technology that has stood the test of time.
