First of all I think that if you're reading a review of this product you somewhat know what you're dealing with already, this processor really is a top of the line device and I do not believe that many others go where this has gone.

I bought this processor for a custom build PC I was doing, I was creating it at no expense spared hence why i decided after lots of shopping around that this was the CPU for me. The i7 automatically stands out to anyone with a knowledge of of computers, it has a high spec combined with fair pricing to match. Now for the technical jargon, the i7 2600's clock speed is at 3.4 GHz a fair amount for the price being paid, with a maximum frequency of 3.8 GHz. As you also will probably know this is a quad core processor which for most high processing needs will suffice however you are able to get a hex core i7 ( six cores ) but unless you really have the demand I believe this is unnecessary as this processor seems to handle all jobs with ease. The processor has a quite large 8 MB of cache, again more than enough for the average PC user and even for those using software packages with large processing power demands 8 MB should be able to cover it.


The maximum memory capability of this processor is 32 GB but i don't understand why anyone would ever need so much RAM and if they did they would probably be purchasing a more expensive processor. It probably doesn't need saying but this processor is capable of both HD and 3D processing so if used with an adequate monitor you can get HD and 3D images.


In conclusion of this i believe that this is a great processor for anyone, even those with high processing demands although i would check how much processing you need and compare it to the tech specs before purchasing but anyone else and those who just browse the web this is a perfect processor as there is most probably nothing that it will not handle with you. I enjoy having it effortlessly do as i demand without having to wait for it like i did on my previous PC.
