Whether it's HD media, 3D gaming, or serious multitasking, unlock your full potential with the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7-3930K processor. With top-of-the-line adaptive speed and features, and overclocking enabled, it delivers 2nd generation smart performance at its best with the flexibility to set your system specs just the way you like.

Overclocking Unlocked Processors
With the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7-3930K processors, Intel is delivering unlocked processors to the mainstream that allow for more stability and flexibility. By allowing the user to change the core multiplier, there is more flexibility in the overclocking as this is an additional "knob" to turn. The better stability comes from generally being able to use less voltage when overclocking the cores only. In the past, a user had to use the base clock for overclocking, and this called for large voltage increases and instability in the rest of the processor. With these exciting new processors, the overclocking sky is the limit!

• Six Core/12 Thread Processing
  Provides six complete execution cores in a single processor package, delivering 12 computing threads to help operating systems and applications deliver additional performance, so users can experience better multitasking and multi-threaded performance across many types of applications and workloads.
• Massive PCIe Graphics Bandwidth
  Provides up to 40 lanes of PCIe bandwidth for PCI Express devices, which can include graphics cards, storage controllers, and additional LAN devices. This processor has more than 2X the PCIe lanes vs. other 2nd Generation Intel Core desktop processors.
• Four Channel Integrated Memory Controller
  An integrated memory controller with four channels of DDR3 1600 MHz offers memory bandwidth up to 51.2 GB/s. Combined with the processor's efficient prefetching algorithms, this memory controller's lower latency and higher memory bandwidth delivers amazing performance for data-intensive applications.

• Intel HD Boost
  Includes the full SSE4 instruction set, significantly improving a broad range of multimedia and compute-intensive applications. The 128-bit SSE instructions are issued at a throughput rate of one per clock cycle, allowing a new level of processing efficiency with SSE4-optimized applications.

1. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, and Intel ® Virtualization Technology require a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, enabling software and/or operating system, device drivers, and applications designed for these features. Performance will vary depending on your configuration. Contact your vendor for more information.
2. Warning: Altering clock frequency and/or voltage may (i) reduce system stability and useful life of the system and processor; (ii) cause the processor and other system components to fail; (iii) cause reductions in system performance; (iv) cause additional heat or other damage; and (v) affect system data integrity. Intel has not tested, and does not warranty, the operation of the processor beyond its specifications.
