Intel Core i7-6700 quad-core processor

The Intel Core i7-6700 is a quad-core processor with a base frequency of 3.40GHz and 8MB of cache. It uses the LGA1151 socket and provides an 8.00GT/s bus speed. The part is supplied new as a CPU accessory for desktop systems.

Suits upgrades on existing LGA1151 platforms

This processor fits users who already own a motherboard with the matching socket and want to install a quad-core CPU with Hyper-Threading. It is not for buyers who need a different socket interface or who require a processor without integrated graphics.

LGA1151 socket requirement decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the LGA1151 socket. Your motherboard must provide this exact socket for the processor to install and function. No other socket will accept this part.

Questions about this item

Does the i7-6700 processor come with a heatsink or must one be purchased separately?

The CPU is supplied as a tray processor; a compatible LGA1151 cooler and thermal paste must be bought separately.

Is the 3.40 GHz base speed or the 8.00 GT/s bus speed more important for everyday responsiveness?

The 3.40 GHz base clock sets single-thread pace, while 8.00 GT/s governs data flow to the chipset; both matter, but base frequency is felt more in typical desktop tasks.

How does the 8 MB cache help once the chip is installed in a real machine?

The 8 MB shared L3 cache keeps frequent instructions and data close to the four cores, reducing memory latency and smoothing multitasking performance.
