The fastest PC in the world

Intel Core i7-powered PC  is the fastest PC in the world

Though the price tag is around £4,000, it's, indeed, the fastest PC in the world. With Intel's new Core i7-965 Extreme Edition, the YoYotech Fi7epower MLK161 has been developed keeping one purpose in mind and it is to break the world record in the benchmark that many believe is actually metric of overall CPU performance.

          The Core i7's Hyper Threading feature shows that a minimum of 8GB of quite expensive high performance DDR3 memory is there. But the novel triple-channel layout makes system pack 2GB plus 1GB per channel for a total of 9GB. Thus, the face value cost of the CPU and memory is around £2,000.

              It has 2GB of ultra fast GDDR5 memory and 1TB spinning-disk storage from Samsung. HIS Radeon HD 4870X2 graphics card and two of AMD's awesome RV770 graphics processors have also been packed.

              The Asus P6T motherboard is another highlight and aside from CPU, the Fi7epower most attractive feature is the £400 Intel X25-M solid-state drive. Though it's only of 80GB, it's at least ten times better than a conventional rotating hard drive. It is silent and hardly uses power to boast its stunning fast read speeds.
