There's something quite appealing 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 line 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 diusungnya, this product certainly brings a myriad of improvements. 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, namely 3.4 GHz and can be automatically increased up to 3.8 GHz. Thus even if there were not enough, this product can be overclocked easily. Congenital capital only cooling, it can touch the processor speed 4 GHz.
Tight, not hot, 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 thanks to features Turbobost. 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!
detikINET sandingkan try 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 afdol if it does not measure the performance of the Core i7-2600K with a variety of testing applications. For your consideration, detikINET not only do the synthetic benchmarks, but also with complicated calculations through Microsoft Excel.
In 3DMark 06, the CPU score that successfully achieved the Core i7-2600K mencapi 6681. 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 already carry the triple channel.
From these results already visible, if the performance per core at the Sandy Bridge architecture is fairly good, fairly decent with the official prices charged.
In addition to the 3DMark 06, a similar result was also obtained on other tests such as Cinebench, 3DMark Vantage, and PC Mark Vantage.
