The Intel i7-995x Processor

i7-995x is a ES model only. I7 995X never came out for sale. ES models are Intels prototype models and/or review parts send out to other people like developers and partners to test and give respons back to intel about things like performence, heat, compability with other hardware/software and so on. They are not ment for resale or sale in the first place.

I7 995X where properly a CPU intel might where thinking on to release but never dit. We got I7 980X the cpu i have now and I7 990X. I7 995X never came out to consumers for sale in mind.

Amazing clocks from first gen i7 :toast:

As a reviewer, we typically get these from Intel. Also we typically do not have to return them (some may, our site has never). We are not allowed to sell them or give them away, correct.

This is how it was when we used to do product reviews too. And we had to sign an NDA. But we never got to keep them - but that was probably because I was reviewing them as part of my job representing the government - working for the tax payers. If we kept them, they would have to go into inventory and that would just be a waste of tax payer money. So we always had to return or destroy. Although occasionally the disposition instructions from the maker directed us to forward them to another reviewer - but that was not very often.

Well, being my original post was asking about pricing, and I never got a determining price on it. Where do I start? Whats the bragging rights worth. To own one of maybe 1 of the Intel i7-995x. Old or not. Do you have one? LOL
I did not come here to get criticized for my price. I will lower it. But I have no idea on where to go with it. Might be better just to keep it. Being there is no way to price it right. And I will not sell it for 250.00 dollars. That's a rip off. The Intel i7-990x are going close to 400.00 right now on eBay. The memory, hard drive, case, motherboard, and cpu is worth more than 250.00.

I do admit. It needs more. Better PSU, GPU, more memory, better case. Its a crap setup. Might work on that.

Again, Thanks for all your help. Nice forum

X58 CPU are well known for there overclock capability. I had a I7 920 run 4.1 GHz 24/7 and cut 4.4 GHz but because of only aircooling and heat only run it at that clocks for benchmarks. That I7 980X i have now runs 4.25 GHz 24/7 and can hit 4.77 GHz for benchmark. When it comes to overclock X58 is no slug. Se screenshots under here:

Excellent. I owned a 980x and a i7-975. Never owned a 990x though. The 980x was housed in a Dell Studio XPS 9100. TO much my surprise. Someone paid alot for that rig. And the 975 was in a HP Pavilion ELITE series. Good thing about buying and reselling, you get to take systems for a test drive. heeh

Whoa nice, never really heard of the i7 995X ES! Out of curiosity, what voltage does it need for fully stable 4GHz/4.2GHz/4.4GHz overclocks?

DRDNA · Apr 8, 2017

what Mobo came with that package deal you received?

2nd gen, did you forget the i5 7 series and i7 8 series?

i7 9xx came out before the 7 or 8. 7 and 8 were just slower versions.

Should be worth ~$200 chip alone, I'd say

would probably fetch £250 ish on UK EBAY ( only because we always end up paying more here )

I am not sure. Being it really has no information on the web. I am running a 650W PSU. And I have not attempted to overclock it yet. I can say this, I have not had any issues with this system at all. Very good chip. Only a shame they did not come out with it.

I read in the google results. That Intel was going to name the Intel i7-995x chip the i9-995x Processor. But never did it.
The Mobo its in is a Intel motherboard - DX58SO

Fairly cheesy. would had been better in a EVEA X58 3-way SLI mobo. More ram, better OC.

Holy frick. The mobo that this one has is friggin expensive.!. Guess its not so cheesy, well as far as cheesy goes in a cheesy mobo situation? lolo

Yeah that mobo was made for workstations and Intel charged a lot for them....They are not very good for enthusiast tho......Almost all the normal brands have better boards for the enthusiast. Kewl set up tho for sure!!!

Edit...the mobo is cheesy even tho it cost a lot

I think that's by engine builder Tom Nelson for the "Devel Sixteen".. IMO the car is s**t, but the engine is pretty sweet. V16, quad turbo.

Edit: Steve Morris, not Tom Nelson, my bad

Just as infrared says, its the engine for that Arabien car named "Devil Sixteen" that its supposed to get 5000 HP. The engine is a 12.3 liter Quad-turbo V16 engine that can run on street petrol where it puts out about 3000 HP and at race fuel 4500+ HP (the dyno cut not handle more than the 4500 HP but there where more in the engine left) and its under development by Steve Morris engine. Where the car is an ugly fuck, the engine is a thing of beuty and raw power.

Se more in these links.

Looks like a Zonda style body. Pretty nice. Funny to see a pushrod in an exotic, but I like it

They are all first gen IIRC. I think anything based on Nehalem/Westmere qualifies as firstgen. Sandy Bridge would be second gen. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Nope see my post above, I thought that but 1366 was first and then 1156 :toast:

Sorry, but I know that's incorrect as 1366 came before 1156.

And they use the same core design, anyways, which is what matters. Making them all first gen.

But my i7 965 is older than both of them :wtf:

I just got PM'd some info that basically shows this whole gen thing depends on who you ask.

Intel doesn't even have it completely straight depending on the era you ask them in.
