The editors liked
5.1GHz is possible with less than 1.4V
Excellent overclocking temperatures
Good iGPU improvements over Skylake
Great single-threaded performance
HDCP 2.2 and Microsoft PlayReady 3.0 compliant
Lower wattage than Skylake clock-for-clock
Intel’s Optane
Out the box performance improvement over Skylake
Still a solid overclocking part
If not mindblowing
No MSRP bump over Skylake
The editors didn't like
Doesn’t try to end stagnation in the CPU sector
Higher frequency results in an increased power draw over the i5-6600K
Performance benefits come entirely from the new Turbo clock
Poor reaction to Zen which provides no reasons at all to rush out and upgr
Not a huge advancement for the enthusiast
Overclocking may trail Skylake (silicon lottery still applies)
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...

The Kaby Lake generation isn't going to set the world alight the way some of Intel's previous chips have done. Rather than Process>Architecture>Optimisation it's seeming a little more like Process>Architecture>Flog horse. The tertiary optimisation phase o...

Not a huge advancement for the enthusiast, Overclocking may trail Skylake (silicon lottery still applies), Slightly more power hungry than Skylake, and hotter as a result, Windows 10 is required for full functionality, Also Note, = Exclusive Intel Optane
A new year, a new (-ish) CPU; something of a new experience with Intel's CPU lineup. Skylake impressed us with solid performance and efficiency improvements over Haswell, and perhaps benefited from Broadwell's absence from the the performance end of the s...
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...
