  • The Intel Core i7-2600K is a worthy successor to the i7-860 and i7-920 chips at default clock speeds. If Sandy Bridge permeates the entire market, the (relatively) lower-end LGA1156 motherboards and processors can walk away. In fact, even the X58 line...

  • Breathtaking performance at stock clocks, Massive overclocking headroom, Incredible new integrated video engine
  • Infuriating marketing-driven restrictions
  • If it wasn't for Intel's marketing goons, these could have been the best CPUs in history. Awesome, even so...

  • Intel’s latest architecture stands alone. Price, performance and all round flexibility mean that the second generation Core processors are going to be every enthusiast’s first choice for a long time to come. The bar has been raised, the challenge made...

  • Looking first to the build quality and design of the new generation of Core processors we have a set of CPUs which have the usual high level of quality we have come to expect from Intel. It is very hard to damage a Core CPU when installing due to the ...

  • Performance with applications, Performance with video games, Turbo mode and Hyperthreading, Reasonable energy consumption, Integrated graphics can improve decoding/encoding video and support Bluray 3D
  • Integrated graphics don't support DirectX 11 which would have improved the bitrate in some games
  • Intel's latest generation of CPUs effectively picks up where the last one left off. Performance has been ratcheted up a notch and the energy consumption has gone down. This all-rounder is a real success....

  • This topoftherange processor is ready to be overclocked for even more speed,
  • As usual, you get more for your money from the middle of the range,
  • Great for the basis of a super-fast overclocked PC, but for most users the new i5 chips are better value ...

  • Abstract:  Although the processing cores in Intel’s Sandy Bridge architecture are decidedly similar to Nehalem, the integration of on-die graphics and a ring bus improves performance for mainstream users. Intel’s Quick Sync is this design’s secret weapon, though....
