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

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/22/2018 10:07 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.

Nice Review Hilbert.

I'm still running the 2500K and at 4.7GHz not having issues at all. Offcourse some games do stutter sometime but nothing big. Good to see this chip is a great oldie that can still come along in games.

Nice. I'd love to see one of those with the Core i7 3930K or 3960X Sandy Bridge E (including 4-4.5GHz overclock) as well. I somehow doubt it's worth an upgrade right now, especially when taking the high prices into account.

Does there really exist people that use 2600k at stock clocks? What's the point of review? Let's make strawpoll and ask 2600k owners at what clocks do they use this CPU. I think 90% of users would use it under OC conditions.

And where is more processor oriented games like BF1 etc. ?
MAX and LOW FPS? ..

Thx man.

I'm still fine with my 2500k @4.5 and a 1060. :)
