Editing intel/core i7

The '''Intel Core i7''' is a family of 64-bit, x86-64 processors designed by Intel for high-end desktops and laptops. Thee Core i7 family uses the Bloomfield, Nehalem, Westmere, Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and Haswell microarchitectures implementations. The family was first launched in late 2008<ref>[http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11/18/intel_core_i7_launch_event/ Intel celebrates Core i7 launch with Dell and Gateway]</ref>. The Core i7, along with the core [[Intel Core i3|i3]] and [[Intel Core i5|i5]], was designed as the successor to the [[Intel Core 2]] brand.
