Core i7 930 Details

For users seeking a capable, multi-threaded processor for productivity and light gaming, the Intel Core i7-930 offers a solid mid-range option from the early 2010s. As of March 2026, this processor is over a decade old, having been released in 2010 as part of Intel’s Bloomfield microarchitecture lineup. Despite its age, it remains a relevant benchmark in discussions about historical performance and legacy platform support. Designed for desktops, the Core i7-930 was built for users who needed a balance between performance and power efficiency, especially in systems with integrated graphics. It features a 45 nm process node and a 130 W TDP, making it a power-hungry chip by today’s standards, but it was a high-performance option when it launched.

The Core i7-930 is a quad-core processor with eight threads, enabled by Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology, allowing it to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. It operates at a base clock of 2.8 GHz and can boost to 3.06 GHz, making it suitable for applications that benefit from higher clock speeds. It supports DDR3 800/1066 memory across three channels, with a maximum memory capacity of 24 GB and a bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. The processor uses the FCLGA1366 socket, which was common in high-end desktops of its era. It also supports Intel’s VT-x and VT-d virtualization technologies, as well as AES-NI encryption, making it a versatile choice for developers and power users.

Integrated graphics are provided by Intel’s Iris™ Graphics 6100, which runs at a base frequency of 300 MHz and can boost to 1.05 GHz. While not powerful enough for modern gaming, it supports up to three displays and is sufficient for basic multimedia and office tasks. The processor supports a wide range of extensions, including AVX2, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, and FMA, ensuring compatibility with software that leverages modern instruction sets. ECC memory support is not available, which limits its use in enterprise environments.

In terms of performance, the Core i7-930 scores 4682 overall, placing it at #1123 among 2060 CPUs. Its single-core score is 4630, ranking #1192, while its multicore score reaches 4760, placing it at #898. This indicates that its multicore performance is stronger relative to its single-core capabilities, a trend seen in many older multi-core processors. It outperforms several modern low-power processors like the Core i5-5250U and the A12-9800, but falls short of current high-end models such as the Ryzen 9 9950X3D or Core Ultra 9 285K. In the multicore top 50, it is significantly behind leaders like the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX, which scores over 12,000.

In conclusion, the Core i7-930 is best suited for legacy systems, retro builds, or users with budget constraints who require a reliable quad-core processor. While it is no longer competitive in modern workloads, its performance is still respectable for non-intensive applications. For new builds, a modern CPU with better efficiency and features would be a more practical choice.
