Over the past few months, there have been many leaks revealing performance figures of Intel's latest 7th Generation Core series processors. Today, I will give the 7700K a formal review, and compare it to the 6700K and older Intel processors. Before I begi...
We probably all remember the high clocking 4790K Devil's Canyon CPU, a refresh of the Haswell microarchitecture. The 7700K might as well have been called the 6790K if it wasn't for the changes made to the iGPU and naming of the Broadwell-E SKUs on the m...

Intel's Tuesday rollout of 7th-generation Kaby Lake CPU for desktops has met a dubious fanfare of leaked reviews that dismiss the new chip as one huge Core i Yawn. Kaby Lake seems to offer barely any movement forward and when overclocked, apparently gets...
So let's sum it up. In laptops, the performance bump is very decent, with perhaps 20 percent or more going from just Broadwell to Kaby Lake.Desktops aren't constrained by thermals and battery life the way laptops are, so the performance difference between...

The Kaby Lake flagship, the Core i7-7700K is a quad-core processor pegged at a stock speed of 4.2GHz, and boosted to 4.5GHz (compared to the i7-6700K's 4.0GHz and 4.2GHz). With 8MB of L3 cache, and a TDP of 91W, the similarity to a Core i7-6700K is actual...
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...

Ultimately, both CPUs do enough to mean Skylake is consigned to the history books - if you're building a new system, a Kaby Lake CPU and Z270 motherboard should be top of your list, if you're up for some overclocking that is. The Core i7-7700K is the usua...

The Intel Core i7-7700K and the Intel Core i7-6700K share many of the same characteristics. They share the same socket with both CPU types being compatible with Z170 and Z270 motherboard chipsets; Z170 boards will most likely need a BIOS update to make th...
Now that the new 7th generation Intel Core i7-7700K has been tested against the previous 6th generation Intel Core i7-6700K at the same clock speeds (4.5GHz), I have come to my overall conclusion. There is no actual performance increase on the IPC and asi...
