Notice though that its 8 cores are not a win for builds, whereas the build test is one of the few tests where the core i7 2600K really separates itself from the rest of the pack—being almost 30% faster than its nearest competitor and 50% faster than the rest of the pack. Does anyone have any idea as to why the core i7 is such a win for builds?
