Product Description
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.
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.

Customer Reviews
By Joshua D. Washburn "jwashbur"
This was the first CPU I ever installed on my own. I am thrilled with the speed in everything I do, especially video editing.
I ran a test converting a 30 minute 720p HDTV show (.wtv file) to MPEG on both my laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo T6500) and my new desktop (Core i7-2600). My laptop took 4.5 hours, and the desktop took 34 minutes!
