  • LGA 1151 socket fits compatible motherboards for straightforward upgrades
  • 8 MB L3 cache reduces latency for frequently used data
  • Tray packaging suits system builders assembling multiple units

Intel Core i7-6700 3.4 GHz Processor

This Intel Core i7-6700 is a quad-core processor running at a base frequency of 3.40 GHz. It uses the LGA 1151 socket and features 8 MB of L3 cache alongside 1 MB of L2 cache. The chip is supplied in tray packaging without a retail cooler. It targets desktop builders seeking 6th generation Core i7 performance.

Suits LGA 1151 system builds and upgrades

This processor fits motherboards equipped with an LGA 1151 socket compatible with 6th generation Intel Core CPUs. It provides four cores and eight threads via Hyper-Threading for multitasking workloads. Builders needing a different socket, a higher core count, or an unlocked multiplier for heavy overclocking should consider other options.

LGA 1151 socket compatibility decides fit

The single specification determining whether this is the correct part is the LGA 1151 socket interface. Your motherboard must explicitly support this socket and the 6th generation Intel Core architecture for the processor to function. Verify the board's CPU support list before purchase.

Questions about this item

Which version of the Core i7-6700 should I pick — the tray CM8066201920103 or a boxed retail model?

The listed MPN CM8066201920103 is the tray variant; it ships without a stock cooler or retail packaging, so choose it only if you already have a compatible LGA-1151 cooler.

What does the 3.40 GHz base clock mean once the chip is installed in a working system?

All four cores run at a guaranteed 3.40 GHz under load, and Intel Turbo Boost can lift individual cores to 4 GHz when thermal headroom allows.

How does the 8 GT/s Direct Media Interface affect real-world throughput?

The 8 GT/s DMI link connects the processor to the chipset, setting the maximum bandwidth for storage, USB and networking traffic that passes through the chipset.
