However, the i7(2700) has hyper-treading and is better suited when working with heavy 4-dimensional projects with the 4th dimension being time as in HD video editing and commercial database recordings.
In such a heavy scenario, the CPU could be working 100% for hours if not 24/7 and that is where we separate the 2700 from the 2700K, they have the same performance but the 2700K has more tolerance for extreme drawn out loads. That is why you'll find the 2700K in Hollywood workstations like Apple Towers and HP Z-series rendering scenes for the next featured movie where just a few seconds of a movie takes days if not weeks to render.
Wait you say... Apple Towers and HP Z-series workstations use Xeon cpu's not 2700K. Right and wrong. 2700's are actually handicapped Xeons. When Intel makes a cpu by etching billions of transistors onto a silicon wafer its inevitable that some are great CPU's and some junk CPU's. They get sorted out unto different bins. The most perfect CPU's are put in the Xeon bin and are shipped to companies who make computers for mission-critical businesses such as banks, government agencies, Hollywood, etc.
Most of the real estate in a CPU is dedicated to cache so lots of transistor faults are in the cache area. While a fault in a core part of a CPU requires the entire CPU be scrapped, Intel can still sell a CPU with a fault in the cache part by disabling it. In an over generalized way, that is 1/2 of how we get the different cpu bins: Xeon, i7, i5, and i3. The more cache that has to be disabled, the lower it has to be binned because each CPU core needs a certain amount of cache.
The other 1/2 and the saving grace to a CPU that would otherwise be binned down is if it has great tolerance to heat/electricity. The better formed a CPU's transistors, the higher electrical frequency it can tolerate. Although it is rare, a CPU can become a Xeon just by having great tolerance. That's why you'll sometimes see Xeons with only 2cores and 3MB of cache.
This brings us back to the 2700K. The 2700 is an i7 meaning that 100% of its cache (8MB) formed properly compared to 80% in an i5 (6MB). The i7 also has greater tolerance, its core and graphics clock can reliably cycle 100MHz and 250MHz higher then an i5 respectively. Additionally, the K designation in the 2700K means it is capable of even higher tolerance. This doesn't mean it'll performs faster, it just means its more likely to maintain a 100% 24/7 load. That's why most will never see this gain as most don't need a CPU that can handle a 100% 24/7 load.
Cons: Why bother getting a Xeon when 2700K is the bee's knees? Easy, Intel disabled ECC memory. When electronic ones and zeroes fly in and out of your CPU to RAM, it's proven that radiation from everyday things like the sun or kitchen microwave sometimes flip these values from one to zero and from zero to one. 99.99% of the time this is harmless and ignored. However, as you scale up your computer with more memory, more video cards, and more complex computational loads running 24/7, the more chance of those errors going from just giving out wrong computations to being critical to the point of a crash. ECC memory won't totally prevent that scenario but makes it more unlikely. That is why all Mac Towers and HP Z-series workstations use ECC exclusively.
In short, Xeon is the most reliable way to go and dare I say 2700K's are actually surplus repacked Xeons that may handicapped from working with high-end workstations but it still maintain its tolerance and cache prowess. Best of all, with the 2700K Intel targeted the consumer's wallet instead of corporate/Hollywood's wallet. Thanks for reading. GUIDENG-The Picture Co.
The results are impressive. In the past, when running 18MPixel CR2 (RAW) to JPEG conversion on the notoriously slow but good DxO Optics Pro 7, I used to get 1 frame per minute throughput on an otherwise fast Intel Core2Duo laptop before (and one frame every 10-15 seconds with Lightroom 3). Now, with the 2700K and making use of its 8-thread hyper-thereaded architecture, I am getting one DxO-converted frame every 6 seconds (and one lightroom frame every 1-2 seconds) :-)! So this CPU, when confronted with the elements and pushed a bit, can deliver stunning performance.
Therefore I find this CPU (and the other i7's) a great match for computers built for photo and video editing, as the hyperthreading architecture really shows its best in such environments. 5 Stars.
If I had built the rig for gaming, I'd probably pick an i5 instead and put the extra money into the GPU, since most games are running single-threaded for the heavy part.
Of course, I had to push the setup even further by adding an AsusTek HD 6850 GPU to the mix (some of the best computing power values it seems, especially if you build a low-noise setup). Now even DxO, making use of OpenCL and utilizing both CPU and GPU, spits out one frame every 2.5-3 seconds :-)
Btw, for CPU-to-CPU reviews, I also found the passmark site helpful for my pick.
UPDATE after 6 weeks. I since changed the overclocking settings from 4.9 to 4.8 GHz, to avoid occasional crashes with the 1.435VCore I use. Since then (and after re-timing my ill-advertised RAM to 10-10-10-28, see my Komputerbay 2x8GB 9-9-9-24 review), the machine runs-rock solid. 4.9 GHz would apparently need a bit more voltage than 1.435VCore on my sample.
Keeping it at 5 stars.
The bad MVP virtu is a fraud doesn't work with games or bench always crash. Don't spectate internal graphic work is a big fraud from Intel, so keep it disable on Bios to avoid bad time.
