The editors liked
Cross compatibility with Z170 motherboards
Excellent overclocking headroom
Good upgrade path for those still using older CPUs
Great single-threaded performance
Intel Optane technology has astounding potential
HDCP 2.2 and Microsoft PlayReady 3.0 comp
Out the box performance improvement over Skylake
Still a solid overclocking part
If not mindblowing
No MSRP bump over Skylake
The new fastest consumer processor
Higher clock speeds than 6th-gen
Easy overclocking
The editors didn't like
AMD’s Zen architecture is just around the corner and looks promising
Identical performance to the i7-6700K at the same frequencies
Just a basic clock boost compared to Skylake
Runs hotter and consumes more power than the i7-6700K
“The Intel Core i7-77
Not a huge advancement for the enthusiast
Overclocking may trail Skylake (silicon lottery still applies)

Battling CPUs at $60 is going to be a tough call. Do you throw the best hardware around the chip that money can buy to compare the absolute limits of the hardware under ideal conditions, or do you keep it more reasonable for the price bracket it is intend...

Battlefield V is playable on quad-cores but you can expect frequent frame dips, resulting in less consistent frame rates. For the most part, we've found that the older Core i5-7600K has been hanging in there pretty well with AAA titles released in 2018, b...

The GT 1030 GDDR5 received our recommendation on a few occasions, almost all of which were derived from limited supply of the GTX 1050 or RX 550. Even in spite of this forced recommendation, the card did perform objectively well when compared to its prede...
