rockliffe Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Unsure whether this is new information or not, but in case some of the guys might be interested.... http://www.legitreviews.com/news/11610/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Well, I'm one of these guys who are still on the 1366 Socket. I'm wondering whether Intel will come out with the i7-995x or not. In this case I'd probably stick with the socket for at least 1.5 years and just replace my current i7-950. Of course Sandy Bridge looks attractive, especially on the price side. But you all know the pain to set up a new system. Just upgrading the CPU would be a much easier option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan2 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I think it is new . Its that one we have been waiting for to be released Q4 this year...GOOD ..now for the next stage of the plan ..I7 2600 price drops. The plan is starting to work ..hahahaha This chip sounds like dynamite . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennyson Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I think you are getting confused with the replacement for the 1366 platform, Alan. This is another Sandy Bridge chip that is designed for the existing 1155 boards. "Good one, Intel. I just bought a i7-2600K last week!!!!"

Heiko Glatthorn Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I might be wrong, but i believe this is a notebook only CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek McAllan Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 The 2700K appears to be another LGA1155 desktop chip, with a 100MHz bump up from the 2600K at stock. It is not a new generation of chip, as this one is still Sandy Bridge. The two new generations are Ivy Bridge for the existing LGA 1155 and Sandy Bridge-E for the new LGA 2011. Sandy Bridge-E is the new enthusiast class to replace the last generation like the i7-990X, and is a 130W design as opposed to Sandy Bridge's 90W design. The 2700K is anticipated to slot in at the current price of the 2600K, so the 2600K should come down a few dollars. Cheers, Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BionicCrab Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 From what I read this week looks like the Ivy bridge is already shipping to laptop OEMs in Asia... 1.8ghz chips made with 22nm process and 3D transistor are the current specs. The goal apparently is to make Mac Air clones. So the LGA2011 is literally already obsolete at least for FS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennyson Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 That's good news about the obsolesence. At least I won't have lost a handful of dollars on that one..... Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BionicCrab Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Definitely helps knowing they are on schedule. 6 months is a long time to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
