    Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake gets benchmarked and OCed

    Overclocks to new heights but hotter and more power hungry than the Core i7-6700K.

    something funny I am interested in Zen! The wow factor with intel dissipated when AMD showed off their next gen CPU

    Whew, at least I know I won't face the temptation to upgrade from my 6700k ;-) Re temperatures it's usually also an IHS lottery there - my Skylake was too hot by default until I delidded. Shaved off about 15C afterwards.

    Would have been nice to see it compared to some other cpu's other than the last gen... honestly though it hardly seems like a worthwhile upgrade for most people with anything recent from intel... like usual...

    As lumireleon says I'm more interested how Zen performs and how much it costs because if they come in with their 8C/16T chips around the price of the 4C/8T intels that 'could' be a game changer...

    It seems Intel really are trying to take the wind of the Zen sails, anybody would think they are worried...

    Overall this should be a decent upgrade over my 3570k so games on, lets see how Zen compares.

    Not impressed but it is early yet. That said I don't think I'll say much different when it hits as Intel seems to give as little as possible each gen while concentrating on gpu side which I turn off currently. I'll be waiting on Zen and vega before doing anything (1080ti also...of course). Bring on some ZEN benchmarks.

    I really hope someone does some handbrake quality tests (for kaby and zen). Is it safe to turn gpu on now for ripping, or does it still sacrifice quality for speed? I'd hope a few revs later they've fixed the quality part. No point in ripping something IMHO if it looks like crap. Anandtech used to do these tests, but haven't in many generations. For now though (most stuff anyway), I'm fine waiting everything out with my 4790k. I'm curious to see how zen comes out on the ripping quality, and am hopeful if neither of these works out, handbrake gets it's act together and fully supports Cuda at some point. Nvidia, why are you not writing code to help handbrake? Can't be that time consuming to help a little for a top used ripping app available to everyone free.

    Return of the P4 era? Higher and higher clocks from Intel and lower clocks from AMD? We have to wait to see if that's true...

    You could try Staxrip which can encode with your Nvidia GPU.

    How disappointing. The power draw is just too large on the Kaby Lake parts, even not overclocked.

    Be Careful on the Internet! I ran and tackled a drive by mining attack today. It's not designed to do anything than provide fake texts (say!)
