Intel launched Intel Sandy Bridge-E CPUs Up to 66% Faster than Core i7 2600

After they are quite a few more months to go until Intel makes official the Sandy Bridge-E processors, and the first details describing the performance of these CPUs has already made it online and state that we should expect the chips to be as much as 66 percent faster than the current Core i7 2600. Actually the Sandy Bridge-E processor together with the P79 Express chipset, it compose Intel’s Waimea Bay platform that is expected to launch in the fourth quarter of this year. According to Intel that this processor will initially release just three processors based on this architecture, two six-core and one quad-core model. This Intel Chipset will operate at 3.3 GHz and packs six processing cores and 15MB of Level 3 cache memory. Beside that supports Intel’s Hyper-Threading technology and have a fully unlocked BLCK and multiplier.
In this case the last of the three processors will pack just four computing cores (8 threads) and has limited over clocking potential and features 10MB of Level 3 cache and a 3.6GHz base clock. In other hand all of these will sport an integrated quad-channel memory controller and a built-in PCI Express controller with 40 PCIe lanes and can reach up to 3.9GHz in Turbo Boost mode. When it in comparison the Core i7 2600 features four processing cores with HT support clocked at 3.4GHz and has 8MB of Level 3 cache and a dual-channel integrated memory controller.
