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)

The R3 2200G offers highly competitive performance at its price and, ultimately, really has no immediate competition. At $100, the CPU offers 78-85% of the performance of the R5 2400G at 58% of the price. Not bad at all. We can strongly recommend the R3 2...
Abstract: Its hard to believe considering we just finished up an Intel launch, but it is already time to check out Intel’s next launch. Kaby Lake was launched at the beginning of this year and the Mainstream lineup of CPUs is getting refreshed with Coffee Lake and Z370. This is the 8th generation of Intel’s Core processors going back to the original launch back in 2006...

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...
So I think most people will admit that AMD has had a lot of wins this year with all of the Ryzen launches. As I found out in our 1700v7700K coverage the 7700K was still a great performing CPU, especially when looking at gaming performance. But with ju...
The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and Threadripper 1920X are very impressive processors that did extremely well in content creation benchmarks that take advantage of having a 16-core, 32-thread processor in the system. The good news is a good number of app...

Prior to any overclocking the 7800X consumed just 6% more power than the 7700K and these figures are based on the average consumption recorded in six games, so the 7800X certainly isn't being fully utilized here. With both CPUs overclocked the 7800X consu...

There's no reason to buy this CPU. It's a 7700K – which is a perfectly fine piece of silicon – but on a more expensive platform. Coupling the 7740X with an X299 results in a hamstrung, crippled motherboard the likes of which further complicates an already...

Abstract: Given the recent BIOS improvements for Ryzen and the ever-advancing state of Linux and components like Mesa (although no recent Ryzen-specific work), here are some fresh tests of the current high-end Ryzen 7 1800X compared to an Intel Core i7 7700K on Ubu...

In this article, we focused entirely on gaming using the new AMD Balanced power plan. Of the 14 games we tested, many of the tests the AMD Ryzen 1700X was able to hold it's own against the Intel Core i7-7700K. There were times where the AMD Ryzen fell beh...
