Intel Releases Core i7-2700K Processor

[annaconda]

Intel released its latest performance-segment processor, the Core i7-2700K.

The i7-2700K is a quad-core chip in the LGA1155 package, based on the 32 nm "Sandy Bridge" silicon. It is clocked at 3.50 GHz, and features an unlocked base clock ratio multiplier, which makes overclocking possible.

It features AVX instruction set, AES native acceleration, HyperThreading (which enables 8 logical CPUs), 256 KB L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache.

No it hasn't.

Why are you linking a thread you made on another forum? Especially one that looks like a press release? Paul Otellini, is that you?

No it hasn't.

Yes it has.

Price still isn't right on that particular site, but they're among the first so they're going to take advantage of it. No, this is not a pre-order page; it didn't exist yesterday.

Ya, Tiger Direct trying to rip people off.

I just typed this over in the [H]ot Deals section..

Not saying this is a hot deal but Newegg has this available NOW for $11 buck cheaper than Amazon.. $370 while Amazon is still OSS. No Newegg feedback yet!

Its on newegg

Ill be damned, it is on Newegg. $55 more for 100 MHz increase? I dont get it. Unless this thing just has insane overclocking headroom, I dont get how they can charge so much for such a minuscule bump in clock speed.

it's for people who will pay for the best.

I was going to second aVaLaNcHe's reply when I checked this morning (nearly 11 hours ago) and it was not on newegg (not available in their search) or amazon and I could not google it but now indeed it is on newegg.

List price (1000 units) is only $15 more than the 2600K ($332 vs $317) so this is just early release price gouging. Give it a week.

I want the 3xxx series!

 

[KarsusTG]

They honestly just need to come out with the 1366 socket replacement because even an upgrade from my 930 to this would produce minimum gains.

 

[Harry1969]

This is nothing new, Intel and AMD both release slightly higher clocked processors every couple of months or so.

 

[EuphoricRage470]

On LGA 1366, you can pop in an i7 980 and see huge gains...

On LGA 1366, you can pop in an i7 980 and see huge gains...

so is this processor the same as the i2600k? what are people getting for overclocks..

 

[xorbe]

I don't think that gulf town and sandy bridge cores are the same

Or a 970 for around $400 US on eBay. This will be multiplier locked but you can raise the BCLK.
