Review Product : Intel Core i7-2600K, Fast But Still Cold

Intel Core i7-2600K

There is something quite interesting in the Intel Core i7-2600K. Although lauched at high speed, there are no symptoms of overheating in this product.

Core i7-2600K or commonly known as one of the family of Sandy Bridge, a second generation of Intel Core family of processors i that occupy the highest position. However this product priced at a reasonable price, which is in the range of $ 300.

Judging from the specifications adopted, this product certainly brings a lot of improvement. For example, integrated with the Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) that supposedly can improve system performance. Well when did video transcoding, or simply watch servings High Definition (HD).

Also there is another feature called Intel Quick Sync Video that could indeed designed to improve the quality of rendering this processor. However, the feature is not active when the user wearing an additional graphics card AMD Radeon or Nvidia GeForce.

By default the Intel Core i7-2600K run fast enough, that is 3.4 GHz and can be automatically increased up to 3.8 GHz. so if you feel not enough, this product can be overclocked easily. Congenital capital only cooling, it can touch the processor speed 4 GHz.

 Fast, Cold, and Power Save

Unlike previous generations, Clarkdale, which belong to the heat. Intel to reform the Sandy Bridge architecture that makes the processor is pretty cool, despite continued lauched at high speed.

Intel Core i7-2600K was just born with a speed of 3.4 GHz and can automatically increase up to 3.8 GHz because Turbobost features. But if you think thats not enough, this processor can still be lauched faster because it has a multiplier that is not locked.

Only with congenital cooling, this product could reach 4 Ghz more easily. Even if you want more serious, could be increased again with a better cooling system. Even in some cases there were successful penetrating up to 5 GHz. Wow!

try to compare this processor to the motherboard GigaByte GA-P67A-UD4 that uses the Intel P67 Express chipset. As a result, the temperature dwell only on the number of 25-30 degrees at maximum load conditions with the casing open. Adrift very large when compared to the Core i7 965 that reached 50 degrees in the same condition.

Some testing was an Intel Core i7-2600K superior to Core i7 965. Although not far adrift, but the performance is worth the price difference pointed his thumb to remember that nearly doubled on the market.

For power supply, the processor will take about 75 watts at idle and increase to 140 watts at maximum load conditions. So it is appropriate that users use the power supply with a capacity of over 500 watts.

 Performance

It was indeed not enough if it does not measure the performance of the Core i7-2600K with a variety of testing applications. For your consideration, I am not just doing synthetic benchmarks, but also with complicated calculations through Microsoft Excel.

In 3DMark 06, the score achieved by the CPU Core i7 reaches 6681-2600K. Superior to the Core i7 965 which only got 5670. For the record, the Core i7 965 has 4 cores (8 threads), 3.2 Ghz, and have used triple-channel.

From these results already visible, if the performance per core at the Sandy Bridge architecture is fairly good, fairly decent prices apply.

In addition to the 3DMark 06, a similar result was also obtained on other tests such as Cinebench, 3DMark Vantage, and PC Mark Vantage.

 In addition to the above benchmark application, I am also a little play with the ability to process video files into one of the mainstay product.

Convert Mov to MKV format at a resolution of 1080 pixels takes about 3 minutes 42 seconds without using the GPU encoding. That's for video duration 5 minutes with a size of about 400 MB.

In addition, testing was also done with simulations calculated using tables in Microsoft Excel files Montecarlo and Number Crunch. The result, after three times of testing the Core i7-2600K scored 11 seconds to Montecarlo and 3401 milliseconds for Number Crunch.

In conclusion, the Core i7-2600K able to provide more value because of the tremendous performance and competitive price. Though there are less reasons to chiptset supporters are not working well, but the processor is still worthy of a reference computer enthusiasts who put performance.

In the market, the Intel Core i7-2600K priced at $ 300 price range. While some series under that, the Core i7 2600, Core i5 2500, Core i5 2400, Core i5 2300 pegged start from USD 150 to USD. 250

Specifications:

     * Proseor: Intel Core i7-2600K
     * TDP: 95W
     * Core / Thread: 4 / 8
     * Speed: 3.4 Ghz
     * Turbobosst: 3.8 Ghz
     * L3 cache: 8MB
     * Socket: LGA 1155


Benchmark Results:

     * 3DMark 2006: 6681
     * 3DMark Vantage: 23 421
     * Montecarlo: 11.3 seconds
     * Number Crunch: 3401 milliseconds



In reviewing this product, I use Motherboard GigaByte GA-P67A-UD4, Corsair HX1000W, Corsair Dominator4GB, ASUS VH226, AMD Radeon HD 6870, and operating system Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
