The editors liked
Competitive single and quad-core performance
Fantastic for gaming
Faster than Ryzen in tasks that only use 4-cores
Easy to overclock
Significantly cooler than the previous generation
Significantly less power-hungry than the previous generation
Compe
Performance in lightly threaded applications
Higher overclock ceiling
Higher base memory frequency
Superb gaming performance thanks to fast clock speeds
Excellent overclocking capacity aided by strong X299 VRM solutions and a larger package
A solid option when all-out frequency is more important than core counts past four
Gives purchasers strong upg
The editors didn't like
Ryzen offers fastest rendering/multitasking for around the same price in certain applications
No major performance improvements over the last generation

X299 chipset
Disabled PCIe and memory features (X299)
Price
Poor thermal performance
Power efficiency is lacking
Especially in comparison to Ryzen or Broadwell-E
Multi-threaded performance leaves plenty to be desired on a ‘High-end Desktop' product
Poor value compared to the Core i7-7700K which offers an iGPU
Fully loaded with features and connectivity, RGB LEDs everywhere, Excellent construction quality, One-touch overclocking
Needs clearer documentation, Extremely expensive
Kaby Lake-X creates a new market segment, but we're still not sure who its target audience is. The Core i7-7740X is a very fast CPU on its own and can be overclocked easily, but it's expensive and requires a platform that's complete overkill. At least it...

Respectable rendering performance, Tool-less and spacious case, Cool temperatures and quiet acoustics, Upgrade Path, Water cooled, Water cooling potential
Expensive, Not ideal for air-cooling setups, Weird case setup
Overall the rig performed relatively well in the task it was intended to do, which was rendering. Also, it can still play games at respectable frame rates and quality. Despite having minimal airflow, the system was able to maintain cool temperatures and a...
Good overclocking potential, Strong gaming performance, High base clock and excellent singlethreaded performance
16 PCIe lanes from the CPU limits the features on the X299 platform, Not that much better than the Core i77700K, Only dualchannel memory support
So is this supposed to be an HEDT or mainstream chip?Intel had a nice idea with Kaby Lake-X. Adapt a mainstream chip for the Core X HEDT family, and make it the same price as the Core i7-7700K! It'll work with an Intel X299 motherboard, so you can save no...
El procesador Intel Core i9 7900X es realmente espectacular, con sus diez núcleos, pero nos ha sorprendido aun más el rendimiento del Intel Core i7 7740X, un procesador con cuatro núcleos y ocho hilos de procesamiento, que rinde casi igual que los Ryzen 7...
EN NUESTRA OPINION NO COMPENSA FRENTE AL 7700K, SIN GRAFICOS INTEGRADOS
En este modelo no encontramos apenas diferencias en cuanto a rendimiento frente al "antigüo" Intel Core i7 7700K, con un incremento de precio respecto a este sólo en el procesador de más de 35 euros y la exigencia de una placa base más costosa. El precio...
Abstract: El nuevo Intel Core i7-7740X para el socket 2066 demuestra ser la CPU gaming más rápida en el test. Sin embargo, es una mejora débil respecto a la Intel Core i7-7700K que queda por detrás de las CPUs Ryzen en multitarea debido a su bajo recuento de núcleo...
Como ya decíamos, no queríamos saber con estas pruebas qué procesador es más potente, porque queda claro que el 7900X es el ganador, sino a qué distancia queda el Kaby Lake-X analizado. En las pruebas sintéticas se aprecia más: el 7740X es entre un 40% y...
potencia mono nÚcleo, buena capacidad de overclock, ideal para jugar y trabajar, temperaturas muy majas
consumo, precio no es atractivo, solo 16 lanes pci express
acerca de Intel Core i7-7740XIntel Core i7-7740X es un procesador que rinde muy bien en juegos y en aplicaciones de alto rendimiento, pero no le vemos una especial cabida en el planteamiento de Intel con su socket X299.Recordemos que cuenta con una veloc...
