Intel Core i7-2700K has received a date and price tag

Intel has finally added to the 2700K rumors, yet it won’t replace the current peak Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge.

We’ve already reported on the processor once, but back then, its mere existence was a fact. Since then, more information has been revealed, we already know the exact clock, confirmed consumption. And now we can find out in strong outlines the expected time of release and also the estimated store price.

The latest Sandy Bridge, the state-of-the-art processor, is sure to run at 3,5 GHz at the factory, and the TDP information has been confirmed, so the old processor in this area will remain the same and not move up at the 95W line. Today we learned that the expected release will be in late October, interestingly, just after the launch of the AMD Bulldozer, they want to launch it almost immediately, presumably more marketing considerations than necessary, but let’s not run ahead. In terms of price, VR-Zone initially announced a price of around $ 340-350, which is much higher than the current price of the i7-2600K, but here came a small update during the day that the suggested retail price will be $ 331, which is much more solid , but still higher than its predecessor, so it is likely that Intel does not intend to eliminate the i7-2600K stocks in the near future.
