Within the last year however I have been running more virtual machines on my pc and have been in need of more CPU cores and wishing I could go beyond 16G of RAM on my AMD boxes. I had been on the verge of buying a new Bulldozer to upgrade from an AMD Phenom II 1090T six core, but realized that even after spending an additional $270 I was only going from 6 cores to 8. I wanted to leave at least two cores and 8GB of RAM dedicated to the host OS, then put the remaining RAM and CPU cores to Virtual machine use. With an AMD FX-8150 I could only get 6 cores left, and since 8GB RAM sticks are very expensive, I could only get 8GB of RAM out of the 16 my board could hold with 4x4GB sticks after taking 8GB for my host OS. This meant that at most I could get 4 single core virtual machines with about 2GB of RAM each. I decided to wait to look at the new L2011 offerings from Intel before buying AMD again, I'm glad I did. Intel's CPU has 6 physical dual cores giving me effectively 12 CPUs. The motherboard I'm using with the CPU has 8 DDR3 slots meaning I could fill it with 4GB sticks giving me 32GB. I now have 10 cpus and 24GB of RAM for my virtualization needs, meaning I can run 10 Virts with about 2GB of RAM each easily. Perfect for my needs! While it cost a lost to get to this level of PC (Mboard, CPU, RAM) exceeding $1000 total, I feel that I know have a system that I can easily get four years out of. I also fired up Photoshop and the thing is just super quick on this CPU. Here's what my build looks like: ASUS Sabertooth X79 Motherboard 32GB RAM - 8 x 4GB of Patriot DDR3 DIMMs Intel Core i7-3930k CPU Corsair Force 10GT 120GB SSD for my OS boot disk Overall I ended up getting a 7.7 Windows 7 experience index. In conclusion, I'd recommend this if you have apps that are heavily threaded and can use the cores, for needs that can fit on an AMD build, I'd go that route since it costs a lot less. If you have general productivity needs, go with an AMD build and save some cash, if you need a beast machine and you're investing for the long haul, then this processor can only be bested by it's slightly bigger brother. Review: Excellent CPU - I am very happy with this CPU on an ASUS P9x79 Pro, like Michael. I also have 32 GB Kingston Quad channel memory, a Gigabyte GTX 670-OC-2GB VRAM video card, all SSD drives, and I do not overclock...actually run the BIOS on the power saving mode, and it does all the 3D work and complex filter renderings in Photoshop and its plug-ins with ease at that setting, so I have not even gone to the "Normal" setting. Fans run slowly and virtually silently at this setting and with a Coolermaster TPC 812 heatsink, the temperature of the 3930 runs between 33 and 36 degrees celtsius. This installation in a Corsair 550D, constructed by the manufacturer with quiet first and foremost in mind, is almost inaudible, and surely does not disappoint in that regard! To my surprise though, and this has also been reported by others in forums on line, the Windows 7/64 loading time is actually a few seconds LONGER(from the "loading windows" logo to Log-on) than with two other quality computers I have (a x58(1366) with a 960 processor, and a LG 1155 with a 2600 CPU); this, with reasonably comparable hardware,Startup menu settings in MSCONFIG and software. Just out of interest, I removed the NVIDIA driver, and it had no effect on boot time. From discussions on other forums, this is felt to be a property of the x79 motherboards and the way that format governs various driver loadings, but I don't have a definitive explanation. People were saying that it is not related to the ASUS line per se, but I have not used the Intel x79 MB to see if there be a difference. I would be interested to know what other people contributing on this thread might have to say about this, if they have roughly comparable systems on which to comment, in this regard. Really though, this is unequivocally inconsequential, merely academic, and most certainly does not reflect on the alacrity and efficiency with which this processor functions, once the system is booted, and this applies to my entire installation, as a whole, which is truly exemplary. Being a non-gamer, I'm afraid my review, by definition, has to be viewed as somewhat limited for what certain prospective customers may want to know, particularly with a CPU of these specifications and potentials. I elected this CPU over my original choice, the 3820, because, in consultation with Adobe technicians, Photoshop CS6 can now take advantage of hexcore in 3D and complex filtration algorithms. That was not the case in CS5 when they advised me not to buy the 990X, in the Bloomfield series, when I bought my previous computer which was prebuilt and is really not outdated, even today, in terms of performance. In view of this CPU's superb function in stock configuration, I see absolutely no reason to overclock and overstress my components for little or no practical benefit, as I am in no way interested in bragging rights over pushing the limits with respect to benchmark data. BOTTOM LINE: Highly recommended. ## Features - Core i7-3930K 3.20GHz 6-Core 12-Thread 12MB Cache FCLGA2011 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00603QXPM | | Best Sellers Rank | #920 in Computer CPU Processors | | Brand | Intel | | CPU Manufacturer | Intel | | CPU Model | Core i7 | | CPU Socket | LGA 2011 | | CPU Speed | 3.2 GHz | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 12 | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 167 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00735858224512 | | Item Weight | 0.34 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Intel | | Mfr Part Number | BX80619I73930K | | Model Number | BX80619I73930K | | Platform | Windows | | Processor Brand | Intel | | Processor Core Count | 6 | | Processor Count | 1 | | Processor Number of Concurrent Threads | 12 | | Processor Series | Core i7 | | Processor Socket | LGA 2011 | | Processor Speed | 3.2 GHz | | Secondary Cache | 12 MB | | UPC | 320127564712 792137824054 675900005754 777787439056 778889363782 807030502630 151903034736 735858224512 971473568529 168141504266 191120034980 578917701124 115970725324 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 3 years | | Wattage | 1000 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Intel - **CPU Manufacturer:** Intel - **CPU Model:** Core i7 - **CPU Speed:** 3.2 GHz - **CPU Socket:** LGA 2011 ## Images ![Core i7-3930K 3.2 1 LGA 2011 Processor - BX80619I73930K - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bhs1-5zjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a beast! *by A***R on November 29, 2011* I've been a long time buyer of AMD cpus due to the price to performance ratio.

BOTTOM LINE: Highly recommended. ### ⭐ Disappointed *by W***E on July 4, 2012* After installing everything, the comp refused to boot and instead perpetually displayed the DRAM led light. I changed out the ram; tried different memory configurations, but no joy. I flashed the bios to the most recent version but still no joy. Ultimately, I concluded that the MB was DOA. I replaced it with the ASUS Rampage IV which booted on first attempt with zero problems. ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel Core i7-3930K Hexa-Core Processor 3.2 Ghz 12 MB Cache LGA 2011 - BX80619I73930K - ARCTIC MX-4 (incl.
