Description
Intel i7 6th-Gen: Give your desktops a serious uplift with the Intel Core i7 6th Generation (Skylake) from Golden Scrap Yard. These LGA1151 processors (e.g., i7-6700 / 6700K) combine excellent single-thread speed with smooth multitasking, ideal for power users, creators, and refurb projects needing dependable, modern performance. Every chip is professionally graded, deep-cleaned, and stress-tested under load, so deployment is straightforward—one PC or an entire fleet.
Why choose i7 6th-Gen (Skylake)
• Cores/Threads: 4 cores / 8 threads for fluid multitasking and rapid application launches
• Clocks: Strong base/turbo frequencies; “K” models unlock overclocking on Z-series boards (adequate cooling required)
• Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 530 handles dual displays, 4K video decode, streaming, and Quick Sync accelerated transcodes
• Acceleration: Intel Quick Sync Video, SSE4.2, AVX2, VT-x/VT-d (model-dependent) boost media, virtualization, and security-minded workloads
• Memory: Support for DDR4-2133 (common) or DDR3L-1600 on select boards—great flexibility for cost-optimized refreshes
• Platform: PCIe 3.0 lanes pair well with NVMe SSDs and midrange GPUs
