Los procesadores Intel Core i7 Extreme están diseñados para overclockers, eventos de juegos y entusiastas absolutos. La mayoría de los procesadores tienen 6 núcleos, el mínimo es 4. Todas las CPU admiten hyperthreading, que complementa cada núcleo físico de la CPU a otro núcleo virtual, aumentando así el rendimiento del procesador hasta en un 40%. El socket LGA 2011 (chipset Intel X79 Express) puede tomar hasta 2 procesadores y proporciona hasta 8 bancos Ram DDR3 por procesador, así como hasta 7 ranuras PCI-E 16x. Se admite SLI de 4 vías o Crossfire X.
