Guys, a compatriot said intel core i7 2700k just upcoming, what's the release date? Any new features compared with 2600k? Thanks for your replying...=.=

A: Unloose will happen on the Q4 2011 and it has stock clock speed of 3,5GHz. Nothing else has been told.

So i'm buying a laptop from Dell this winter, and one of my two options are:
1)2nd production Intel® Core™ i7-2760QM processor 2.40 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.50 GHz

2)2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM processor 2.20

A: The processors in those laptops are laptop processors, while the 2600k and 2700k are desktop processors (Which are significantly more substantial). Technically, the i7 3000 series have come out, with the 3930k, and the 3960x, which are extreme edition

A: 2700K + Z68 motherboard is the model choice.

2700K was only released to beat the FX-8150.

With Z68 motherboards, you can take advantage of the onboard video which is extremely fast at encoding video (faster than FX, Phenom

Today we are getting a advance showing of the Core i7-3820 that will be released likely in early February and will come with a much more reasonable price tag of $285 to fill out the LGA2011 socket.  The question that we must ask then is can the quad-core Core i7-3820 vie against the currently available quad-core Sandy Bridge parts that fit in the widely available LGA1155 socket?  We not only have to observe performance but also the features of each platform as well as the total cost. 

Same Feature Set, New Die

While most of the features of the Core i7-3820 are going to be comparable to those of the previous SNB-E processors we have seen, there are some important differences with this chip.  Let's see what is familiar first.  The Core i7-3820 is based on the Sandy Join-E design that works on the LGA2011 socket and the X79 chipset and motherboards currently on the market.  It includes a quad-artery memory controller and 40 lanes of PCI Express that are actually capable of PCIe 3.0 speeds.  HyperThreading is still enabled so you are getting the improve of being able to run twice as many threads as you have cores. 

The new LGA 2011 programme for enthusiasts didn’t very influence us that much at skiff. Of speed, it was not worse than the past LGA 1366 and LGA 1155 platforms, but it still couldn’t be called a earnest comminute a break up with-through creative offshoot, to be fair. It seemed that six cores in amalgamation with Sandy Connection microarchitecture could sanction Core i7-3960X and Core i7-3930K processors to tender unprecedented straight-shooting of behaviour, but it was all theory at most artistically. In actuality there are only just any tasks that are inclined to of using all the what it takes of this configuration to the full area. Therefore, computers on the new podium were no more than as abstinence as the flagship LGA 1155 systems in most applications that do not allot with multimedia delighted birth. However, the LGA 1155 systems were significantly less overpriced, much more forcefulness-economic and offered way more overclocking-fraternal functionality.

However, LGA 2011 solutions have several unquestionable advantages that may scrape by them increasingly non-professional in the zealot community. First, this dais supports PCI Precise 3.0 bus today already, which may be very close by for the new AMD Radeon HD 7970 graphics cards. Lieutenant, it supports much more PCI Unqualified lanes than LGA 1155, which allows structure uncompromising aged-go like greased lightning multi-GPU systems. However, the dilemma is that these advantages will deliver most feel in the gaming systems, where six-core processors are by not recommended because in most cases they will have modulate frequency than the quad-core CPUs, and therefore will exhibit mark down accomplishment in gaming applications.

Luckily, there is a way out of this ball game. Besides six-core Core i7-3960X and Core i7-3930K, Intel is precooked to launch a quad-core LGA 2011 Core i7-3820 processor, although it hasn’t begun selling rightful yet. Nevertheless, there are only a few days Heraldry sinister before this prolonged-anticipated as it occurs, so we determined to get a closer look at it the first fate we got.
