Archive Description

A workstation powerhouse disguised as a server chip. This is essentially a Core i7-3820 that went to finishing school and learned how to use ECC (Error Correcting Code) memory. It was the heart of the "Trash Can" Mac Pro and countless HP Z-series workstations.

It features massive memory bandwidth thanks to its quad-channel memory controller. While it only has four cores, they are four very fast, very angry Sandy Bridge cores, making this chip excellent for single-threaded CAD applications where precision matters more than parallelism.
