Retro review: Intel Sandy Bridge Core i7 2600K - 2018 review 3

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/22/2018 09:07 AM [ 171 comment(s) ]

It was 2011 when Intel released Sandy Bridge, so we grab Core i7 2600K and revisit it in the year 2018, apply Windows 10 and compare that Core i7 2600K towards Ryzen 1800X and Core i7 8700K through our processor and gaming benchmark paces.

Stock 2600k @ 3.4ghz. Add 30-40% to the benches since these chips can easily OC to that.

Well You all bought in your overclocking capabilities which has nothing to do with the cleverness of the old days of overclocking - it was all done with a lot of risk but not paid.

What it means basically U did not OCed at all, it was bought in speed.

2600K overclocked to ~ 4.5ghz with 16gb 2133mhz RAM turns into a whole other story, running it at stock with 1333mhz RAM is kinda "what is wrong with this picture" stuff, but hey, some grandma might run it at stock as an "interweb thingy" :p

Non OC intel 2*00 are not as weak as you think...

Great review , very nice processor !
but I think it s time to change : I ve just changed my 3770k@4.5Ghz for 8700k@4.7Ghz (on all core)
I had too many stuttering on BF1 , Battlefront 2 , Pubg or Assassin credd origin.
Now no more stuttering , games are perfectly smooth (1440p)
And I think , we ll have more and more new games that demands very good processor (Far Cry 5 etc...)
