The editors liked
Higher stock clocks than the Core i7-6700 at same TDP
Better overclocking headroom
Intel Optane support
VP9 decoding and 4K HEVC 10-bit encode/decode
Lots of Z270 motherboard choices
Great Multi-threaded Performance
Best In Class Single-threaded Performance
Better Power Consumption Than Skylake
Very Reasonable Price
The Best Overclocking Potential Since Sandy Bridge
The fastest 4-core processor on the market
High performance gaming and everyday applications
Very good efficiency
Reliable platform
Fastest CPU available
Hardware support for HDR and 4K streaming
Modest overclocking improvements
Fastest consumer CPU we've tested
Outside of much pricier Extreme Edition chips
Chipset delivers more PCI Express wiggle room for super-fast storage
Support for upcoming Intel Optane caching tech
Has hardware support for next-gen high-resolution strea
Tad more overclocking headroom than Skylake. Minor efficiency improvements. Z270 boards bring more PCIe and HSIO lanes
Highest clocked Intel CPU and 5.0GHz overclocks
4K HEVC encode/decode acceleration
The editors didn't like
Only a slight performance boost because of increased clocks
Compared to its predecessor
A small increase
The limited overclocking potential
Bottom Line
Intel's Kaby Lake–based Core i7-7700K is the fastest mainline consumer processor available
And it comes with support for 4K and HDR
It just may not be the best value for Skylake users given its modest speed improvements
Details and benefits of Optane tech are still scarce
More or less a minimal uptick over previous-generation "Skylake" i7 chip
No reason for Skylake owners to upgrade
Slightly faster than Skylake and still only quadcore
Discrete GPU use bypasses the video/graphics features
Well, the Ryzen 7 launch has a surprising amount of excitement and drama mixed together with the impressive numbers but with memory issues and game performance causing very polarized opinions on social media and on websites like Reddit. AMD fans even...
When we tested the Core i3-7100, we concluded that the new Kaby Lake architecture brings no significant performance gain over the former one, Skylake. The only real performance improvement, according to Intel, is on 4K video playback.However, if you must...
Well, I set out to take a more in-depth look at gaming performance between the two similarly priced CPUs compared to the lowly three games tested in our CPU reviews and I can say without a doubt that I did that. I spent two days getting games download...

Abstract: For those craving some Linux gaming benchmarks from the newly-released AMD Ryzen 7 1800X processor, here are some test results. In this initial comparison are benchmarks of the Ryzen 7 1800K to Core i7 7700K when running these processors at stock speeds w...
Man, there is just so much to take in with this launch. I've gone through the testing and even though I have to follow up (hopefully) later on today when our 1700 comes in with its performance. I can say that testing Ryzen as a whole has been a roller...

Abstract: If you have been curious how well Intel's new Core i7 7700K "Kabylake" processor performs under Linux, I received this CPU a few days ago and have begun putting it through its paces. Here are my initial i7-7700K Linux benchmarks compared to various other...
While your brand new Core i7-7700K may not be up to the pinnacle of 5GHz core clock and 3600MHz RAM clock like we have seen on our "golden" CPU, there are certainly some things you can do in order to get there. First and foremost is to back off RAM clock...

There was some disappointment in the PC community when Kaby Lake was announced. Soon after comparisons to Devils Canyon was the entire buzz on social media. Intel held to their guns though. Were they right in doing so? I think so.Intel has obviously put s...
