Hey y’all! The moment has arrived, Intel is stepping up the game by offering a new series of flagship (for consumers) processors, these are the new 14 nm based cuties of course. As such we review the Core i7 6900K Extreme Edition (Broadwell-E) 10 core processor and yes, we will show you the perf numbers for the Core i7 6900K / 6850K and 6800K processors as well.

Good news first: these new Broadwell-E (architecture & development codename) type processors can be used on the existing X99 motherboards, after a BIOS update of course 🙂
