Intel was founded in July 1968 by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore. The Intel headquarters are located in Santa Clara, California. Although Intel is most commonly known for processors, some of their other products include motherboard chip sets, flash memory, graphic chips, embedded processors, and network interface controllers (Wikipedia).
I think that Intel’s Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake is a highly impressive processor. The most advanced silicon makes the processor one of the best high-end choices. The CPU typically has higher overclocking abilities making it a great choice for gaming and the better performance.
