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

Which processor now offers the most bang of your buck varies per price segment. If you have a very small budget, in our opinion it is best to find an Intel Pentium G4560, which, given its higher availability, is less of a challenge than it was a few month...

Here it comes, the $350 question: should you buy the Core i7 7700K? The answer is not an easy one because while the top-end Kaby Lake processor is the most advanced CPU silicon around it's by no means a must-have component.Realistically I can't recommend...
As we noted in the AMD Ryzen 7 1800X CPU Review, gaming is a mixed bag for AMD. Some titles respond well to the new architecture, while most others still require optimization of some sort. Where those optimizations will focus remains a question mark...

Abstract: I got my hands on an Intel i7 7700K Kaby Lake CPU and not only benchmarked it, but for the first time ever I actually overclocked it to 5GHz and tested it too! Check it out! Want one? Amazon: prourls.co/ZTYO OverclockersUK: (5th Jan) - OverclockersUK Affi...
A very strong performer, our Core i7-7700K sample impressed in delivering a clear jump forward from Skylake to Kaby Lake. Doing so demonstrably at stock speeds, we likely haven't seen the best of it. But our decision to opt for a modest but 4.5GHz overclo...
