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)
Abstract: Kaby Lake. (That's 'Kaby rhymes with baby' if you're wondering, according to my press contact over at Intel, though I've heard it called 'Cabbie' Lake by more than a few folks.) Intel's 7th Generation Core processors are now available for everything from...

For $86 less, the Core i5-7600K scores about 80% of what the Core i7-7700K does in the heavy instruction benchmarks, all while doing it at 30C less and 20W less. If you need extra performance, overclocking it to 7700K frequencies is super easy, and you st...

performance, power consumption, overclocking
Intel released their 7th Generation LGA115x platform, named Kaby Lake. It consists of new CPUs and new chipsets.From my tests, i5-7600K is around 5% better than i5-6600K at stock clocks, but it is because of the higher base clock and multi-core Turbo Boos...

Since the release of the 2nd Generation of Intel Core Processors they have been dominating the market with a combination of affordability and performance. Whether you have gone down the i5 route with models such as the 2500K or 6600K, or have been stickin...
Abstract: Intel Core i5 7600K preview The Kaby Lake Quad-Core processor testedToday we take a first look at Intel Kaby lake processors in the form of a Core i5 7600K processor. A processor that has been fabbed on the 14nm node, a spin-of from SkyLake. The Core i5 s...
Core i5-7600K shows a performance advantage of less than 10% over Core i5-6600K, so it's not that impressive at all. You can consider Kaby Lake as a matured version of Skylake – better operational efficiency and higher clock speeds, but nothing much more...
Abstract: I'm going to start this article off with a simple number: five. Not only is that the number of months it has taken AMD to effectively turn the x86 processor world on its ear, but that's also the number of distinct model families that they've introduced...
Looking back at how things played out over the course of this review, I have no doubt it will be one of the most hotly debated articles that Ive written in the last few months, maybe even the last year. Theres no denying that the Zen architecture has pr...
Many of you will likely read through this review and roll your eyes since with Kaby Lake, Intel isnt breaking their cyclical (and relatively minimal) intergenerational performance improvements. Others may skip this entirely since a lot of the benchmarks...
