- Manufacturing process: 14nm

My rating of it: 8/10
Andres rating: 9.367/10
At release, it was the fastest gaming CPU and first main-stream Intel CPU to have 8 cores
Some more info: It can sustain 250W of power draw. It has 16 lanes of PCIe gen 3. It supports up to 128GB of Dual-channel DDR4. It's pretty damn inefficient.
