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)
Great Multi-threaded Performance, Best In Class Single-threaded Performance, Better Power Consumption Than Skylake, Very Reasonable Price, The Best Overclocking Potential Since Sandy Bridge
There was some disappointment in the PC community when Kaby Lake was announced. Soon after comparisons to Devils Canyon was the entire buzz on social media. Intel held to their guns though. Were they right in doing so? I think so.Intel has obviously put s...
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...

The Core i7-7700K sits at the top of the stack, and performs like it. A number of enthusiasts complained when they launched the Skylake Core i7-6700K with a 4.0/4.2 GHz rating, as this was below the 4.0/4.4 GHz rating of the older Core i7-4790K. At this l...

To sum up all of the data we collected over the past few pages, we've condensed our results into our famous value scatter plots. The non-gaming chart shows the performance each chip delivers per dollar, measured as the geometric mean of the results of ou...
Higher stock clocks than the Core i7-6700 at same TDP, Better overclocking headroom, Intel Optane support, VP9 decoding and 4K HEVC 10-bit encode/decode, Lots of Z270 motherboard choices
Only a slight performance boost because of increased clocks
So this is what the three year cadence now looks like. Us being in the 3rd year we are on the optimization phase. That means with Kaby Lake we are on the same 14nm node that started with Broadwell and on the same architecture as Skylake. What we do get is...
This is what we had to tell you about 7700K overclocking a couple of weeks ago. "Bad" Kaby Lake CPUs are looking to do 4.8GHz at less than 1.3v vCore. "Good" Kaby Lake CPUs are looking to do the magical 5GHz at 1.35v or less. 5GHz looks to be where thes...
Abstract: 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...
Well ladies and gentlemen there you have it. Intel's latest 7th generation aka Kaby Lake looks at first glance as a small evolution in processing power. Indeed we were a bit intrigued by the fact that there were no logical Instructions Per Clock gains to...
