Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Core i7-880 was once a remarkable CPU for demanding users. It's based on the Lynnfield architecture and was manufactured using the advanced 45nm process. A special feature was the integration of the memory controller directly into the processor. This allowed a maximum memory bandwidth of 17 GB/s.

Very good performance for its time. The generous cache sizes also contributed to the high efficiency. The Intel Core i7-880 has 1 MB L2 cache and an impressive 8 MB L3 cache. This equipment ensured fast data access and improved overall system response. With its support for PCIe 2.0, it offered a solid basis for graphics cards and expansion cards.

The processor was long considered a reliable choice. We were often surprised at how stable it worked even under load. It proved that thoughtful design creates long-lasting value.
