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

I purchased this CPU for the 2nd used PC after I "had" a PC based on the Core i5-4670K, I was extremely surprised by its performance, and at the same time annoyed that I had not bought it earlier (before these PCs, there was a poor Core i5- 760@4Ghz). In fact, in crooked (and single-threaded) processor-dependent games (WoT, Lineage2, Archeage, SC2), it is equal to the Core i5-4670K, despite the fact that it is already more than 3 years old (really, stagnant), and in some (Battlefield 4) even faster.
