Intel Core i7-2700K CPU is in the works
 

A slip-up by Intel revealed its next high-performance socket LGA1155 processor, the Core i7-2700K. The box part product code of the new chip was disclosed in the latest material deceleration datasheet (MDS) document, as BX80623I72700K, carrying the spec code SR0DG. From the given product code, one can deduce the SKU as Core i7-2700K. No other specifications were given out, but given that Core i5 2000 and Core i7 2000 quad-core models are spaced out in steps of 100 MHz, one can only guess that the i7-2700K carries a clock speed of 3.50 GHz, with 3.90 GHz Turbo Boost. In all likelihood, the release of this new chip could be timed to coincide with AMD FX 8150, displacing the Core i7-2600K from its existing price-point, and making the 2600K compete with the FX-8150 at a more competitive price.

I'm all for making the 2600k cheaper! If it knocks it down to about $250 I think that would be a tipping point versus the 2500k for some.

I wonder if for the overclocker it would make any diffrence at all, as they are likely to top off about the same.

It would have been for me.100 buck difference not so much.

hope it overclocks well

I think I'm gonna wait on Ivy Bridge.
