Review on Ultimate Performance: Intel Core i7-2600 Quad-Core Processor with 8MB Cache and 3.4GHz Speed by Kristine Tay ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

My brother and I built a computer using an i7-2600k processor, motherboard - Asus P8Z68 Deluxe, graphics card - GTX-580. This configuration is quite optimal, considering that my brother is a professional graphic designer and uses this computer for games. But personally , given the opportunity , I have no desire to switch to the i7-2600K processor . Since my E8600 is paired with a GTX-580 graphics card, I am quite satisfied with games, Internet surfing and video.

Pros
  • Compared to previous models, the i7-2600k processor has a lower cost.
Cons
  • In order for the i7-2600K processor to reveal its full potential, it needs a decent load. My E8600 in this regard works more quickly, because when idle it works at a frequency of 2022 MHz and at the slightest load it instantly switches to 3330 MHz. With the GTX-580 graphics card, all modern games on the E8600 processor fly no worse than on the i7- 2600K. The i7-2600K processor is simply not needed by many users, it is rather more suitable for pros who will load this processor to the fullest .
