FRONTPAGE Intel to Release New Flagship i7-2700K

[Devil_Dog]

I'll be picking up a 2700K when they are released for the hell of it. I want to see what they can do.

+1 to a new stepping. I want higher OC's and higher multipliers with less vcore.

+1 Need some new blood.

I'm just hoping the new stepping/revision will be better bins than 2600K because, in all honesty, your odds of getting a golden chip are very slim (golden chip to me is 5.8GHz and up).

Here's to hoping

The only thing I can imagine is that maybe since they will be a new stepping/chip that it may be able to do that, but I highly doubt you will get a higher % of higher multi chips from the 2700k (although for you I hope so)

Yeah, I highly doubt it as well. It's pretty much just wishful thinking. I think the odds of getting a golden chip stay the exact same. Even if the chances do go up, it'd be by such a minor amount...

Oh it will be binned better...one multi.

Yeah, but what does that mean for us benchers that want >55x chips?

Who knows, we'll have to wait and see

 

[Janus67]

Oh man, if you can get on-average a 55-56x chip I'll be buying one immediately and selling off my 2600k.

 

[EarthDog]

Not much in and of itself. The only way these will be consistently or even markedly better is id they were multi checke...one bin up doesn't make a better chip when 99% of 2600k's will bin to 2700k.

Great way to put it. That actually makes great sense.

So sad... so sad, I was really hoping for a better binned stepping. Or anything to increase options of getting a great chip. I think it's just the nature of the Sandy Bridge game. It is truly a gamble.

It's less of a gamble when you just buy a 2500k used that you know overclocks well cough cough feel free to sell me your chip when you buy the 2700k lol
