Intel launches the Core i7-2700K
Quote: Not entirely unexpected, Intel has launched its Core i7-2700K CPU today with little fanfare as is typical for when the company puts out an incremental upgrade. Three of Intel's other desktop CPU's have been given a price cut by between 13 and 15 percent which is a pretty generous discount, although none of these models are likely to get anyone excited. | My System Specs |

And here is a link to an Intel Compare between the new i7-2700k and its predecessor, the i7-2600k. To be honest, it doesn't look like all that much of an improvement. Apart from the clock and turbo speed, it looks exactly the same. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Build

For extreme OCers who want to show the highest benchmark numbers on the P67/Z68 platform, that cherry picked 100Mhz bump could mean everything.
Its just that extra bit to break a record. Even though it doesnt seem like much.
Beyond that, I can't see it having that much more value over the 2600k (at current prices of a $50 or so premium) for most of us. Gamers or even hobby OCers.
If it was as predicted, $15 more, then yes, Id say it was worth it if building a new P67/Z68 from the ground up. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom (Self Build)

I like fast computers....but I don't live by benchmarks. I judge my performance by everyday things that I do. If those things become painfully slow or could be improved dramatically, it's time to upgrade. If the upgrade only makes a 5-10% improvement, unless it's a job that takes hours, it's just not enough to justify the cost and effort involved. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-Built in July 2009
