I7 Processors use socket LGA775.
Yes! The intel Core i7-3770k is a Socket 1155 processor and the Cupertino2-H61-uA TX supports the 1155 socket.
The i7 is a 64 bit processor.
3.0 GHz Pentium 4s were manufactured for both Socket 478 and LGA775.
Yes, they function with the same processor.
Currently the i7 is the best processor you can get, if you have the money to spend on one I suggest that you do.
the i in i series processor stands for ITANIUM. so the full form of i7 is itanium7
One of the newer processors with socket LGA 1155, 2011 or slightly older but still powerful 1366. Processors include i5 2500k or 2550k, i7 2600k, i7 980x, i7 920, i7 3930x etc. there are lots but they can be very expensive.
Intel i7 processor
No sorry the Dell Optiplex 780 can't support a i7, it would have to be a 1155, 1156, 1366 socket compatible motherboard, but your options would be a Intel Core 2 Quad like a Q6700, upwards. Your Dell has a 775 socket.
No...the Gigabyte 945GCM-S2C motherboard has the Intel LGA 775 processor socket (which only supports the Pentium, Celeron, Core 2 Duo etc.). The Intel Core i7 requires the LGA 1366 processor socket or the LGA 1156 socket, depending on which model you have.
The Core i7-920 runs on the LGA 1366 socket, with a clock speed of 2.67 GHz and a power consumption of 130 watts. A recommended replacement is the Core i7-950, at about $300 from Newegg. It has a 3.06 GHz clock speed and a power consumption of 130 watts, which makes it an ideal replacement for your i7-920.
The Intel 6th Generation i7 is much better than the AMD Athlon.
