The i7 2700k's are binned for higher clocks, the first and only one I ever had was delivered 2 days ago and it reached 4.8ghz at 1.32v and 1.4v for 5ghz.
So if you plan to overclock these over the 4.6ghz range, i7 2700k's are USUALLY better. |
I have a 2700k. At 1.36v it will do 4.5ghz. Not all chips are equal. Just because its binned for 2700k, doesnt mean its 'better' then the 2600ks for overclockers.
