(More customer reviews)I have gone from an Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3.2ghz to this beast. It's like night and day! I went with this particular version (2600) over the 2600K because there is virtually no difference according to Intel's Processor Comparison Tool. The specifications are exactly the same, except the 2600 supports Intel's Virtualization Technology. This processor uses Intel TurboBoost to decide if it wants to overclock on its own up to 3.8ghz in speed. Unfortunately, as of writing this review, I had to send back my motherboard due to a defect with the SATA ports on the LGA1155 sockets, so I can't use it anymore at this time. I am definitely holding onto this processor until the revised motherboard chipsets are released!
EDIT: I have heard from around the internets that the K models of these processors are "unlocked" meaning the capability/success of overclocking manually is increased. Can't say that 100% true though... my mother and step-father work for Intel in the Fabs making these chips and can't even confirm that.
