Intel Core i7 2700k Review

V2011 is the first release of 3DStudio Max to fully support the Windows 7 operating system. This is a professional level tool that many people use for work purposes and our test will show any possible differences between board design today.

Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2011 software offers compelling new techniques to help bring designs to life by aggregating data, iterating ideas, and presenting the results.

Streamlined, more intelligent data exchange workflows and innovative new modeling and visualization tools help significantly increase designers’ creativity and productivity, enabling them to better explore, validate, and communicate the stories behind their designs.

Major new features:

  • Slate: A node based material editor.
  • Quicksilver: Hardware renderer with multithreaded rendering engine that utilizes both CPU and GPU.
  • Extended Graphite Modeling Toolset
  • 3ds Max Composite: A HDRI-capable compositor based on Autodesk Toxik.
  • Viewport Canvas toolset for 3D and 2D texture painting directly in the viewport
  • Object Painting: use 3D geometry as ‘brushes’ on other geometry
  • Character Animation Toolkit (CAT): now integrated as part of the base package
  • Autodesk Material Library: Over 1200 new photometrically accurate shaders
  • Additional file format support: includes native support for Sketchup, Inventor
  • FBX file linking
  • Save to Previous Release (2010)

We created a new 8200×3200 scene and recorded the time for the hardware to finalise the render.

The Core i7 2700k replaces the Core i7 2600k at the top of the performance charts, 6 seconds faster with this rendering test.

  1. Oh dear. AMD have lost this round again 🙁 nice review thanks.

  2. It just keeps getting better.

    I saw the price on scan last week and thought it was a bit much. For £10 it is a solid choice, especially as the architecture and engineering has improved over time. I would say these will overclock better, especially on phase and with high end water.

    AMD havent answered this yet. what a disappointing year for them. just as well they bought out ATI.

  3. Kick ass. I love my 2500k. running at 4.6ghz and more than fast enough for anything I need.

  4. Its a great chip, but not worth moving from a 2600k to this. good for a new system build

  5. Not very exciting but miles ahead of anything else out there. Intel own the market

  6. I’m not sure that I know the difference between the 2700k and the 2600k? ANY 2600k will easily oc to the stock of the 2700k so unless they are binning the higher clocking chips and guaranteeing the 2700k will oc higher than the 2600k does then its a strange distinction between the two?

  7. Personally, I’d stick with 2600K right now if you already have it, but if you’re building a new system, why not make the move to 2700K.

  8. This CPU does not excite me in any ways when it comes to results, i mean come one 100 Mhz boost can be had with a 2600k without a sweat. What this CPU actually brings is the price drop.

  9. Hi . i’m just waiting for my build with 2700k to be finished but review has me worried as you failed to get a good OC on the same mobo as my build is using, weve got the corsair hydo 80 as cooler but as we were wanting 5ghz the reviews worried us

    BTW (no HT) comp is for computer chess so no HT is needed for it

    Anyone know why OC failed with that mobo(Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 ) ?

  10. Hi Venus,

    Not sure what happened, but I couldnt get good stable overclocks above a certain speed. You might do better with slightly different components in the system build.

  11. the only differences might be hydo80, as we need a reasonably priced mobo with on board graphcs and the one that failed in review has been exellent with 2600k stable at 4.8 on air so we were expecting 5ghz on liquid not falure at 4.6

    any advice appreciated

    we wont be using HT as its for computer chess but wanted the extra speed the 3.5 ghz should offer

  12. i7 2600k @ 5.2ghz! on Asus P8Z68-V PRO Z68 Gskill 8gb 2100mhz , only limited by reaching 81degrees , with better cooling could go higher!!!

  13. Normally I do not read article on blogs, but I would like to say that this write-up very forced me to try and do it! Your writing style has been amazed me. Thanks, quite great post.
