Intel Core i7-860

The Intel Core i7-860 is a quad-core desktop processor from Intel's Lynnfield generation, launched alongside the Core i7-870 in September 2009 for the LGA1156 socket. It runs at a 2.80 GHz base clock with Turbo Boost up to 3.46 GHz across eight threads via Hyper-Threading, backed by an 8 MB shared L3 cache and a 95 W TDP. It offered near-flagship Lynnfield performance at a lower price than the i7-870, sharing the same on-die PCI Express controller and dual-channel DDR3 memory support.
