## Description

Product Description Intel Core i7 Processor i7-2600 3.4GHz 8MB LGA1155 CPU From the Manufacturer Part of Intel's family of 2nd generation Intel Core computer processors, the Intel Core i7-2600 Processor delivers speed and smooth performance--whether you're creating high-definition videos, playing 3D games, or simply browsing the Internet. The Core i7-2600 is a quad-core processor running at 3.4 GHz with 8 MB of L3 cache, and uses the LGA1155 socket. It offers a rich set of features, including Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, eight-way multitasking with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, and Virtualization Technology, that improve speed and computing productivity. Built-in visual technologies, like Clear Video and InTru3D, support high-definition and Blu-ray playback.Intel Core i7-2600 ProcessorQuad-Core Processor Running at 3.4 GHz for Fast PerformanceThe Intel Core i7-2600 has four cores and runs at a speedy 3.4 GHz. It features an 8 MB L3 shared cache that is dynamically allocated to each processor core, based on workload. This reduces latency and improves performance.Additionally, the i7 comes with Advanced Vector Extensions, a set of instructions to improve software performance for intensive applications like audio processing, audio codecs, and image and video editing applications.Turbo Boost for Extra Processor SpeedThe Core i7-2600 features Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, allowing it to run at 3.8 GHz when the workload demands additional performance. The technology dynamically increases the processor's frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom when operating below specified limits. The result is adaptive performance that's more intelligent and energy efficient.Hyper-Threading for Better MultitaskingIntel Hyper-Threading Technology allows each of the Core i7's four processor cores to work on two tasks at the same time, improving multitasking, speeding up the workflow, and getting more done in less time. This makes your PC more responsive--and it makes that dreaded hourglass a thing of the past.Built-In Visuals Provide Rich, Steady GraphicsThe Core i7-2600 features built-in visuals that deliver a seamless graphic experience and eliminate the need for a discrete graphics card, reducing power consumption and system cost. The i7-2600 has a graphic clock speed of 850 MHz and speeds up to 1350 MHz when turbo is enabled.Intel Quick Sync Video enables quick conversions of video files for portable media players or online sharing. Experience sharp images and rich color with Clear Video Technology, which provides visual quality and color fidelity enhancements for vivid high-definition and Blu-ray playback. HD Graphics offers enhanced 3D performance for immersive mainstream and casual gaming without hesitations or interruptions.The Intel Core i7 is also equipped with Intel InTru3D, which provides stereoscopic 3D Blu-ray playback in full 1080p resolution and premium audio via HDMI 1.4.Intel Virtualization TechnologyIntel Virtualization Technology allows multiple "virtual" environments to function on one hardware platform. It offers improved manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.Optimized for Energy Efficiency The Intel Core i7-2600 is designed to optimize every watt of electricity, resulting in a more energy-efficient system that is cooler and cheaper to run. In a system with other energy-efficient components, the processor can meet Energy Star specifications.What's in the BoxIntel Core i7-2600 processor, fan/heat-sink cooling solution, warranty booklet, and Intel Inside logo label.

Review: Great for Everything - I'm a developer as well as a gamer, so when I was looking to build a PC last year the first thing I wanted to look at was an i7 and I started my build based around it. This little guy never stops amazing me. Having quad cores means you can get insane speeds running complex programs or multiple at once. The dual threading allows you to even push that higher, so when I compile code it zips through like nobody's business. I pair this with a Radeon 6770 graphics card and games run beautifully and I've never managed to really bog the processor down. Installing is as easy as any other processor, so if you know what you're doing it'll be a snap. If you don't, then seek guides or videos on how to do it before you start putting it on the board. It's not hard, but you don't want to risk damaging the fragile pins. Box comes with everything you need, which isn't much more than some documentation and a sticker. If you're into overclocking you'll need the 2600k but this thing is powerful enough stock that I haven't even considered that. All in all, everything I expected and more.
Review: Works Great - I bought this Processor for the first computer I built. (See complete build list below.) In the past I was dealing with a Dell Netbook that was slow and could barely power a 19" monitor. The speeds of this processor is awesome! Its like it never thinks but I know it does. When I look at processors processing(sounds like a dr sues word) I see all 4 with 1-10% of their ability used. Granted for what I do on the computer (Web browsing some Excel and MS Word, music streaming and videos) I may have overbought, but I wanted to be able to keep the system for many years. And for the few dollars more then the step down, this felt like a great buy! I normally use two 21" widescreen monitors, but often hook this rig up to my 55" Samsung LED and it never skips a beat! As a critical part of the PC, I think its good not to skimp on a processor. I didn't need the unlocked one as I have no need to overclock and this run pretty quick. OH so you don't get fooled like I did, it goes come with a HeatSink/FAN. I wasn't sure if it did and bought another one, but I'm glad I did as it never gets above 90F (coupled with the case I bought -- see parts list) Here is the complete build list for my PC (Monitors and TV not included I did this all for under $1000!!!!) I just watched for the best values on desertcart over a few weeks as I was in no rush.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: que generacion es**
A: 2da. Generación - Sandy Bridge. SKU: BX80623I72600K

**Q: Why has the price gone up over the years?**
A: Certain applications can support only this chip.sometimes 80GB hard drive is 4 times expensive than one or two TB hard drive. That is the nature of technology. Best of Luck.

**Q: I have a lenovo ideacentre k410 that comes with i3-2120 3.3 ghz sandy bridge dual core. i want to upgrade to a quad, this cpu works in my machine?**
A: They are the same socket so the i7 wouod technically fit, but there are many different options inside the k410 model.  The main problem I can guess there might be is the TDP or the power needed by the i7-2600 being about 150% (140W) of  the i5-2320 (95W) or your i3-2120 (65W) that were options on the k410's.  Your best bet is to contact Lenovo support or register your device and look it up by serial number to make sure of exactly what watt power supply (data or spec sheets) is in your system and whether it can handle the 2600.

**Q: Would this take DDR4 even though it says it can supports DDR3?**
A: NO the motherboard that this CPU fits is a DDR3 motherboard for socket LGA 1155

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Intel Core i7 2600 Great product!!!
*by S***S on September 28, 2011*

Well, I bought this CPU as an inversion, i'm a designer, musician and gamer. I really wanted to have my own great PC, and even without the Intel Graphics 3000 that i7 2600K has as an advantage, games and programming software runs eficiently, even two, or more of them at the same time. If you want one of the most powerfull CPU on the market, buy it. You'll never regret. These are the components of my machine, I don't know what kind of PC do you want. But really, this CPU works too eficiently. Games and programming software runs eficiently, even two, or more of them at the same time (in my case). Just buy it. You'll never regret. CPU: Intel Core i7 2600 Motherboard: ASUS P8P67 PRO (REV 3.0) RAM: Corsair Vengeance Blue 8 GB (2X4 GB) PC3-12800 1600mHz DDR3 Video Card: EVGA GTX 560 Ti Superclocked DS Other components: i think are less important at this review. Games: Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2011 Resident Evil 5 Alice Madness Returns Fable 3 Software: Adobe CS5 Guitar Pro 6 Finalle 2011 And more software...
