Intel Core i7 3.5 GHz, 2700K (Sandy Bridge) Base 1155 - boxed

All Sandy Bridge CPUs have now already have an integrated graphics processor, the charge but still no newer games at high detail levels, but for the office and multimedia applications as well as older games sufficiently powerful. * In contrast to the Clarkdale CPUs the faster GPU, directly into the CPU core integrates and communicates via the new ring bus with the CPU cores and memory.

The Level 3 cache is now working with full CPU clock speed and much faster than its predecessors. Another innovation of turbo mode keeps ready because this is now much more versatile and flexible. Key action is the TDP – ie, the thermal dissipation. Until reaching the maximum value may Sandy Bridge processors as required single nuclei strongly, or somewhat more cores overclock, which includes also the GPU.

For example, only one CPU core is required plus GPU, can enjoy this in doubt most of the power consumption, while the remaining three scores are largely inactivated. This is accompanied by corresponding to a very efficient energy use and minimal consumption at low loads. Particularly refined at 2.0 Turbo Boost: As the heat output starts only after a certain delay can be increased enormously in the short term the overclocking to short (Calculate) peak catch.

Other changes relate to the L1 cache, which now has two parts (one for instructions, one for data), the AVX instruction set and the efficient AES encryption. Due to the various adjustments were necessary in the development of a new base: 1155th Cooler with Socket 1156 compatibility are, however, without any restrictions in this format.

The Intel Core i7-2700K is the top model in the preliminary Sandy Bridge CPUs. Like all Core i7 he has four physical cores, which increase with SMT on eight logical cores. The 2700K has access to a full eight megabyte L3 cache and operates at 3.5 GHz (with Turbo up to 3.9 GHz). The 2700K has, like all versions of K, the faster GPU (HD 3000) and, above all, a free multiplier. For a convenient overclocking is possible.

The installation of the processor should be careful because the pins can bend easily. Since the CPU can be irreparably damaged if improperly used, the installation is at your own risk. Before the CPU is touched is to pay attention to an electrostatic discharge of the body. An operation of the CPU out of spec (overclocking, etc.) is at your own risk.

* To print the image signals requires a motherboard with appropriate connectors for example, H67 chipset.
