xbitlabs‘s review Edit

Frankly speaking, we had not expected much from the new quad-core model in the Core i5 series before we tested it. Its clock rate is a mere 133 MHz higher than that of its predecessor, which is not much of an improvement. However, the Core i5-760 proved to have a lot of other benefits besides the clock rate. First of all, its Turbo Boost technology is set up in a more aggressive way and increases its clock rate under single-threaded load by 266 MHz above that of the Core i5-750. Second, the Core i5-760 is more economical than the Core i5-750 processors we tested before. And third, the polished-off tech process has improved the overclockability of this Lynnfield-core processor.

It's a minor upgrade to the Core i5-750, but with the same low price and better performance it's a real winner.

bit-tech‘s review Edit

There’s very little to dislike about the i5-760, as it’s essentially a slightly faster i5-750 for the same price. The only disappointment was that Turbo Boost (rev 2) didn’t work as well as we’d expected, producing only a 133MHz increase rather than the claimed 665MHz boost. We suspect that microcode BIOS updates will iron out this minor issue (we tried the same CPU in a couple of other boards with the same result, so it appears to be an industry-wide concern at the moment), and it affects only those who run their CPUs at stock speeds. Running the i5-760 at stock speeds, however, is a travesty, as the Intel Core i5-760 is as epically overclockable as its forebear.

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

If you fancy four cores for the price of two, it's hard to argue against the Core i5 760. It's cheaper than many of Intel's latest dual-core processors and hammers them for all round performance. At this price point, it's also the finest gaming CPU on the market. Intel has a nasty habit of artificially hobbling some of its mainstream processors. So it is for the Core i5 760. By switching off HyperThreading, Intel has compromised the 760's performance in highly threaded applications such as video encoding and handed the advantage to AMD's similarly priced six-core Phenom II X6 1055T. Shame. Replaces the Core i5 750 as our favourite gaming chip. No HyperThreading is a bit of a bummer.
