Intel has officially unveiled the sixth generation of processors for desktop computers. Processors built on microarchitecture the item has been added, will be used in new models of monoblocks iMac and compact desktop Mac mini.
The line opened the item has been added options Intel Core i7-6700K and Core i5-6600K. These chips are built on 14-nanometer process technology and use design LGA1151. Intel processors are designed to bring the item has been added support for DDR4 memory in the mass segment. Along with the processors also presented a chipset for motherboards Z170 Express.
Configuration Intel Core i7-6700K includes four cores. Kernel endowed with 8 MB of shared and dynamically allocated cache memory Intel Smart Cache. Supports Hyper Threading technology allows the processor to execute up to eight threads. With Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, the processor frequency can reach 4.2 GHz. Base frequency is 4.0 GHz.
The integrated memory controller supports dual channel DDR4-2133 and DDR3L-1600 with the ability to connect two DIMMs in each channel. The controller meets the specifications of Intel Extreme Memory Profile (Intel XMP).
Built-in root complex PCI Express 3.0 speed 8 billion transfers per second consists of 16 lines that can be configured to operate in modes 1×16, 2×8 or 1×8 and 2×4. Integrated graphics processor Intel HD Graphics 530 API supports Microsoft DirectX 12 and displays 4K Ultra HD. The frequency of the Intel HD Graphics 530 reaches 1150 MHz.
The processor is compatible with all sets of system logic Intel 100 and is characterized by the dissipation 91 watts.
Model Core i5-6600K does not support Intel Hyper-Threading Technology and has 6 MB of cache memory. In addition, it operates at a frequency of 3.5-3.9 GHz.
It is expected that the Intel Core i7-6700K will go on sale at the price of $350, and i5-6600K will cost $243. Sold processors will be batches of 1000 pieces.
