Intel Releases Core i7-2700K Processor
Intel has updated its processor price list once again, this time to add the already leaked Core i7-2700K and to reflect the lowered price tag of the Core i3-2120 and of the Pentium G850 and G630.
The i7-2700K is now the performance king on the LGA-1155 platform (until the release of the Ivy Bridge processors), replacing the i7-2600K. The i7-2700K is clocked at 3.5 GHz (100 MHz higher than the 2600K), has four cores (8 threads), 8MB of L3 cache, a TDP of 95W, and integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics. The release costs is $332, which $15 more than the i7-2600K (based on 1,000 units).
Intel has adjusted the prices of the Core i3-2120, Pentium G850 and G630 by roughly 15% across the board.
| Model | Cores | Threads | Frequency | L3 cache | Old price | New price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core i3-2120 | 2 | 4 | 3.3 GHz | 3 MB | $138 | $117 |

So.. it's 100mhz faster? Surely there must be another benefit?
Damn it Intel! Ohh how I enjoyed being top of the pile with my 2600k, and you have to take that from me for a measly $15 extra?!
