Product Details

Overview

The Intel Core i7-6700 is a dependable 6th-Generation Skylake desktop processor designed to balance multi-threaded productivity with low power consumption. Built on Intel's 14nm lithography process, this quad-core processor delivers exceptional stability and sustained computational performance for home office setups, business workstations, and budget-friendly desktop builds on the LGA1151 platform.

Featuring Intel Hyper-Threading Technology and integrated graphics, the i7-6700 provides a complete CPU solution that eliminates the immediate requirement for a dedicated graphics card while offering plenty of headroom for future expansion.

Architecture & Performance

Powered by the Skylake microarchitecture, the Core i7-6700 features 4 physical cores and 8 computational threads running at a base clock speed of 3.40 GHz. Under demanding workloads, Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 dynamically increases core frequency up to 4.00 GHz, providing rapid single-threaded response times and efficient multi-tasking across heavy application suites.

Equipped with 8MB of Intel Smart Cache and an integrated dual-channel memory controller supporting up to 64GB of DDR4-2133 or DDR3L-1600 RAM, the processor minimizes memory latency for smooth system responsiveness. Onboard Intel HD Graphics 530 drives high-resolution displays up to 4K @ 60Hz via DisplayPort, while 16 PCIe 3.0 lanes allow easy pairing with discrete GPUs for smooth 1080p entry-level gaming and hardware-accelerated video playback.
