I've never really seen the point of the 2600/2600K/2700K. There are precious few people willing to pay an extra £70-£80 for a 100Mhz stock clock increase and hyperthreading. Intel's pricing strategy really is crazy.

Sir, I think that you forget that the 2600K and 2700K are unlocked processors, and hence offer proper overclocking capabilities

Bakes · 28th Oct 2011, 17:36

So's the i5-2500k though - which can be overclocked to basically the same amount, and for £80 less than even this reduced price.

no hyper-threading there though. thats the bit that you are paying for.

The 2700k is a 2600k with an increased multi, they aren't clocking any better at the moment according to people who've tested 20+ on LN2.

If you do regular video transcoding then the extra threads on the 2600k/2700k nets you about 20/30% quicker renders because vid editing software is optimized for more than 4 threads (so its worth it for some people, but not gamers at the minute).

Being in the US i didn't know what YoYoTech was and i was like WTF dont they mean Yoyodyne (Propulsion Systems) .... wait a second.

Laugh while you can monkeyboy.

Landy_Ed · 29th Oct 2011, 07:46

@r3loaded, depends on what you do with your computer. sure, the i7 series offer only slight increase over i5 for gamers, but what about those of us that do a whole lot of other stuff that use the extra capability? the tech isn't just badge re-engineering!

LeMaltor · 29th Oct 2011, 15:34

Wow 5% off a 200 odd processor, is there nothing else you could have posted..........save the offers for the buyers guide.

BFGunrunner · 29th Oct 2011, 22:15

This thing is an extra 130 dollars over the 2600k so your basically paying 130 for 100 mhz no thank you. I'd say just grab a 2600k instead.

In the UK a 5% discount on newly released PC Hardware is unfortunately rare, so rare its news worthy...

cool_dude · 29th Oct 2011, 23:34

Five 5, Percent %.... wow.

Lets just load our trolleys up shall we!

Well least they reduced it a bit more than the goverment did with VAT and expected us to go out buying things. lol.

Guy's shouldn't this be in the advert section - rather than the news section ?

Journalistic principals ?

This is why I wanted Bulldozer to be good.

Journalistic principals huh? You meant principles.

I don't really get why Yoyotech should get all this free advertising?

Well I don't believe Yoyotech paid Bit-tech to write that article. If they did it would raise a load of moral questions about the journalistic ethics of Bit-tech.

Wow, you try to tell people about a new deal on a product they might be interested in and they accuse you of being corrupt.
