Product Description
-------------------
Intel Core i7 Processor i7-2600 3.4GHz 8MB LGA1155 CPU
From the Manufacturer
---------------------
Part of Intel's family of 2nd generation Intel Core computer
processors, the Intel Core i7-2600 Processor delivers speed and
smooth performance--whether you're creating high-definition
videos, playing 3D games, or simply browsing the Internet. The
Core i7-2600 is a quad-core processor running at 3.4 GHz with 8
MB of L3 cache, and uses the LGA1155 socket. It offers a rich set
of features, including Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0,
eight-way multitasking with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, and
Virtualization Technology, that improve speed and computing
productivity. Built-in visual technologies, like Clear Video and
InTru3D, support high-definition and Blu-ray playback.
Intel Core i7-2600 Processor
----------------------------
Quad-Core Processor Running at 3.4 GHz for Fast Performance
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Intel Core i7-2600 has four cores and runs at a speedy 3.4
GHz. It features an 8 MB L3 shared cache that is dynamically
allocated to each processor core, based on workload. This reduces
latency and improves performance.
Additionally, the i7 comes with Advanced Vector Extensions, a set
of instructions to improve software performance for intensive
applications like audio processing, audio codecs, and image and
video editing applications.
Turbo Boost for Extra Processor Speed
-------------------------------------
The Core i7-2600 features Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0,
allowing it to run at 3.8 GHz when the workload demands
additional performance. The technology dynamically increases the
processor's frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal
and power headroom when operating below specified limits. The
result is adaptive performance that's more intelligent and energy
efficient.
Hyper-Threading for Better Multitasking
---------------------------------------
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology allows each of the Core i7's
four processor cores to work on two tasks at the same time,
improving multitasking, speeding up the workflow, and getting
more done in less time. This makes your PC more responsive--and
it makes that dreaded hourglass a thing of the past.
Built-In Visuals Provide Rich, Steady Graphics
----------------------------------------------
The Core i7-2600 features built-in visuals that deliver a
seamless graphic experience and eliminate the need for a discrete
graphics card, reducing power consumption and system cost. The
i7-2600 has a graphic clock speed of 850 MHz and speeds up to
1350 MHz when turbo is enabled.
Intel Quick Sync Video enables quick conversions of video files
for portable media players or online sharing. Experience sharp
images and rich color with Clear Video Technology, which provides
visual quality and color fidelity enhancements for vivid
high-definition and Blu-ray playback. HD Graphics offers enhanced
3D performance for immersive mainstream and casual gaming without
hesitations or interruptions.
The Intel Core i7 is also equipped with Intel InTru3D, which
provides stereoscopic 3D Blu-ray playback in full 1080p
resolution and premium audio via HDMI 1.4.
Intel Virtualization Technology
-------------------------------
Intel Virtualization Technology allows multiple "virtual"
environments to function on one hardware platform. It offers
improved manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining
productivity by isolating computing activities into separate
partitions.
Optimized for Energy Efficiency
-------------------------------
The Intel Core i7-2600 is designed to optimize every watt of
electricity, resulting in a more energy-efficient system that is
cooler and cheaper to run. In a system with other
energy-efficient components, the processor can meet Energy Star
specifications.
What's in the Box
-----------------
Intel Core i7-2600 processor, fan/heat-sink cooling solution,
warranty booklet, and Intel Inside logo label.
