As title - huge overclock, low temps and power draw and only slightly slower than hexacores. Thoughts?
It should be looking at the reviews. Bit-tech if you're reading, can you test it asap please. PS can you do it with the 2500K and 2600K as they're both good overclockers, but one is $100 cheaper. Found these. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1501/19/ http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1036648028
50k PPD? And on a non bigadv work unit? Thats pretty mental no? Don't the current i7 9xx (excluding the 980/970) get like 30k?
Also when they have not OC'd the 2600 its very similar to the 8 series.... Remember that has a higher stock 875 is 2.9 stock 2600 is 3.4 ghz... So... clock for clock 875 is 15% slower so you would expect 15% difference off the bat In seconds 875 took 219 seconds 2600 took 176 seconds IN terms of seconds the 875 does the business 20% slower than the 2600... So all things considered on a clock for clock comparison the 2600 is 5% quicker... Happy for this to be shot at now This takes no consideration to bang for buck overclocking, power consunption blah blah blah
older i7-920-950 should start going cheap soon (wish stupid ebayers would stop biding to retail prices thought anything up to 960 should sell for less then £130 as they was 3-4 months before xmas mad prices around that time)
