Gateway FX6831-01C
Gateway outfitted the FX6831-01 with an Intel Core i7-860 processor and a generous 8GB of DDR3 RAM, both on a motherboard governed by Intel’s H57 Express chipset. The CPU is the usual quad-core beast with Hyper-Threading support, enabling it to deliver the wallop of eight CPU cores (four actual, four virtual) when used with compliant applications. If you’re wondering what you’re ever going to do with eight processors—virtual or otherwise—don’t. The Core i7-860 employs Turbo Boost technology to solve that problem for you.
