Intel launches Core i7-2700K with prices higher than 2600K

There has been talk of Intel Core i7-2700K for a while, which we thought would be a direct replacement for 2600K in price. But now, on launch day, it appears that the faster 100 MHz processor is slightly more expensive than 2600K. It has however lowered the price of three models in entry-level segment.

Intel Core i7-2700K will not, as expected, with some massive changes and has four processing cores with Hyper-Threading Technology Hyper-Threading, 8MB L3 cache with official support for DDR3 1333rd The integrated graphics chip may be the same, the HD 3000 at 850 MHz that can go up to 1.35 GHz in Turbo. Finally, will the processor with a clock frequency of 3.5 GHz and 3.9 GHz in Turbo - that is the only difference between 2700K to 2600K at 100 MHz.

Core i7-2600K currently costs just under 2600 SEK ($ 317) as the search engine PriceSpy, while the Core i7-2700K just been listed as expected to lie somewhere above 2700 SEK ($ 332) which may be seen as a very marginal difference in the price segment . Intel usually normally replace one model with a slightly faster in this case is 2700K. But given how AMD Bulldozer was, they probably see no reason to lower their prices in this segment, but rather can make a smaller increase.

Somewhere where AMD has good contrast, the lower end, with its Llano processors and price pressure Phenom II / Athlon II. Here, Core i3-2120 a decrease from 138 to 117 dollars, Pentium G850 86-75 dollars and Pentium G630 75-64 dollars. Price differences here are expected to be around at around $ 100 for Pentium processors, while Core i3-2120 is expected to decline by about SEK 150.

How to iOS: AE / AF locking in camera app of iPhone

On the iPhone, the camera has an auto focus (AF) and Auto Exposure (AE) function. When the camera moves slightly he will automatically adjust focus and exposure so that you do not overexposed photos or videos get. It is also possible to use the auto focus lock. It can be useful when shooting a person and if you want to create a blurred background which gives a nice effect.

The function AE / AF-locking has been around since iOS 4 are present, but is not yet known to everyone. Using the camera lock will not automatically focus on objects, but only on a selected object and then the exposure is well adapted.

Lock the focus is very simple. Normally when tapped with your finger on the screen with the camera app you see squares appear so that you can focus.

To the AE / AF lock to keep your trigger finger a few seconds on screen. You see a few times the square appearance. After a few seconds remove your finger from the screen and there above the shutter button, AE / AF lock. Now the focus is locked and will not auto focus.

A very useful feature, sometimes it is not nice that the camera will focus when suddenly you do not want. The lock can counter this. The lock works on both the photo and video camera.
