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)
We have come to expect small advances in Intel IPC over the recent years and we have come to expect nothing from AMD. Intel has produced some fine silicon and injected excitement into our CPU industry when there were no others to lead. Thank you for that...
I ran all of these synthetic benchmarks last week and intended to publish those at that time, however, to be fully transparent, I was extremely concerned that our scores were not accurate. I reached out to various tech companies over the weekend and have...

Abstract: Intel's new Kaby Lake CPU delivers on the clock speeds the company promised, but the power consumption and thermal characteristics were disappointing based on a leaked sample of the new chip we received and tested weeks ahead of its official launch. The...
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...
With very few exceptions, I have to say I am impressed with what Intel has brought to the table with the 7th Generation Core i7 7700K quad core processor. If the rest of the product stack performs as well, Intel should be set up for this generation. The e...
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...

This is a question I keep mulling over. If you're building a brand new PC and investing in a new motherboard then the 8th Generation Intel Coffee Lake processors are worth a look. Particularly if you game o...
We probably all remember the high clocking 4790K Devil's Canyon CPU, a refresh of the Haswell microarchitecture. The 7700K might as well have been called the 6790K if it wasn't for the changes made to the iGPU and naming of the Broadwell-E SKUs on the m...
So let's sum it up. In laptops, the performance bump is very decent, with perhaps 20 percent or more going from just Broadwell to Kaby Lake.Desktops aren't constrained by thermals and battery life the way laptops are, so the performance difference between...
