Konklusion
Som det også var tilfældet i konklusionen af Core i7 870-artiklen, så er vi nødt til at rette fokus et ret uheldigt sted. Intel har til den nye Core i7 800-serie introduceret en helt ny platform, der betyder at et skifte som minimum indebærer udskiftning af CPU, bundkort og CPU-køler. Det til side, så er Core i7 860 en rigtig arbejdshest, der udkonkurrerer selv Core i7 920 i flere test, hvor den nye Turbo Boost kommer helt til sin ret.
Innovation/Teknologi - 5
Der er ingen tvivl om at de 10 måneder der er gået forbi, siden introduktionen af Core i7-serien, har kastet sig et par innovationer af sig. Entydigt er Intel's Turbo Boost en så suveræn innovation, at samtlige Core i7 800-serie og Core i5 700-serie CPU'er fortjener topkarakter i denne kategori. Denne gør jo netop at de mest anvendte kerner i CPU'erne, automatisk overclocker så snart der er behov for det - kan det snart blive meget bedre?
Ydelse - 5
Som Core i7 870, er også Core i7 860 i stand til at hamle op med hvad der på papiret er storebror, nemlig Core i7 920. De to ligger enten meget lige, eller med Core i7 860 som vinder i de fleste test.
Pris - 2
Core i7 860 ligger et par hundrede kroner over Core i7 920, dvs. på ca. kr. 2000,- Det stemmer fint overens med ydelsen den leverer, men da man er nødsaget til at skifte bundkort for at bruge Core i7 860, ender vi altså med at gi' en score under middel.
Test: Intel Core i7 860 2.80 GHz

hereUK summary
As it was the case in the conclusion of the Core i7 870-article, we need to put focus in a rather unfortunate place. Intel's new Core i7 800-series introduces an entirely new platform, which means that a change as a minimum, requires a replacement of the CPU, motherboard and CPU cooler. That aside, Core i7 860 a real workhorse that even outperform Core i7 920 in several tests, in which the new Turbo Boost becomes fully justified.
Innovation/Technology - 5
There is no doubt that the 10 months that have passed since the launch of Core i7 series, has thrown a couple of innovations off into the new 800-series. Specifically Intel's Turbo Boost, is such superior an innovation, that all the Core i7 800-series and Core i5 700-series CPU's deserve top marks in this category. It makes the most widely used cores in CPU's, automatic overclock as soon as you need it - does it get much better than that?
Performance - 5
Just as the Core i7 870, the Core i7 860 is able to outperform, what on paper is the older brother, namely the Core i7 920. The two are either perfoming rather equally, or with the Core i7 860 as a slight winner in most tests.
Price - 2
Core i7 860 priced at a few hundred kroner more than Core i7 920, ie. around. DKK 2000, - it corresponds with the performance it provides, but because one is forced to change motherboard to use the Core i7 860, we end up with a score below average.
