71 CPU Roundup

Summing up the year 2011.

January 25, 2012

This time we'd like to offer you the summarized test results of as many as 71 processors. This generally marks the end of the year, not the end of another test method's life cycle (like the last time). We believe this summary contains all important processors, and we expect the novelties to differ quantitatively, not qualitatively.

What might be worthy of your attention? For example, there are still many LGA775-based machines out there, owners of which might be just starting to consider an upgrade. If you're one of them, take a look at what such an upgrade may offer and whether you need to do that in the first place.
