Intel Core i7-980
Benchmarks & Specs

The Intel Core i7-980 was a real powerhouse in its time. This processor was based on the Gulftown architecture and was manufactured using the then-modern 32-nm process. It positioned itself as a high-end solution for demanding users. We still remember its robust design and reliability. With six cores and twelve threads, the Intel Core i7-980 offered considerable multitasking capabilities.

This enabled smooth work with several applications open simultaneously. Another advantage was the generous 12 MB Level 3 cache. This provided fast data access and contributed to overall performance. The maximum memory bandwidth of 26 GB/s further supported this. Even today, the Intel Core i7-980 can provide a solid foundation for certain tasks.

It can still be used for older games or certain less demanding workloads. It was truly ahead of its time and remains a remarkable piece of technology even today.
