Intel’s decision to boost core counts across all three desktop CPU segments–the Core i3 also gets two cores and loses Hyper-Threading for a 4C/4T configuration–makes this an attractive time to buy. If you have a Core i7-2600K, the “2” means this CPU is a second-generation Core i7 CPU, aka Sandy Bridge. If you aren’t sure what generation of Intel CPU you have, the first digit of the four-digit model code is the model number. The overall price of CPUs in these segments has still come down on a per-core basis, and the performance boost from the additional cores is often worth it. Intel’s eighth-generation CPUs are generally more expensive than the CPUs they replace, though this varies somewhat.
