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)
Fastest consumer CPU we've tested, outside of much pricier Extreme Edition chips, Chipset delivers more PCI Express wiggle room for super-fast storage, support for upcoming Intel Optane caching tech, Has hardware support for next-gen high-resolution strea
Details and benefits of Optane tech are still scarce, More or less a minimal uptick over previous-generation "Skylake" i7 chip
Intel's "Kaby Lake" Core i7 flagship is speedy, with hardware support for 4K streaming and HDR for services like Netflix. But performance gains over its previous-generation counterpart are fairly minimal, and our review chip didn't have much overclocking...
Where to start with this one folks? On one hand, we see what I feel is the face of complacency on the part of Intel with not having any real IPC gains in this refined 14nm+ CPU. On the other hand, why would they with no real competition in this segment...
For months we've heard people talking about how Kaby Lake is going to suck and that there is no reason to upgrade to it since it's basically just an updated Skylake processor. We can understand that some people might look at the specifications and minor a...

This is an interesting conclusion to write. On its surface, the Core i7-7700K and the Kaby Lake-S platform have very few advantages over the current shipping versions of Skylake. The processor has no drastic performance improvements over the 6700K and in...

Performance overall lands us around where we’d expect from a new-generation i7 out of Intel: A couple percentage points in games, meaning that owners of the 6700K should probably just stick with that. Even the 4790K – and the 4770K, by extension – will...

Intel Core i7, i5, and i3 Kaby Lake Processors -- Find Them At AmazonIntel has a wide array of Core i3, i5, and i7 processors based on Kaby Lake either already on the market or coming down the pipeline. For the most part, the line-up is similar to Skylake...

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...
RAM overclocking is looking to be very good on Kaby Lake. I cannot get this particular 7700K CPU I am using here today to be full-load stable at 5GHz, so it is not what I think to be a "good" example of Kaby Lake overclocking, although the jury is still...
