\nKaby Lake is the eighth Intel Core CPU. With its big 7700K it should do good right? Well it does, it’s better than the previous generation i7-6700K<\/a>. With the i7-6700K rating 11,111 vs 12,097 i7-7700K<\/a> on Passmark<\/a>. The major change is an improved 14nm<\/a> process that improves clock speeds and power characteristics because of the changes in the fin and silicon, and the second change involves updates to the video\/multimedia block<\/a> to support hardware decoding and encoding of 4K. So you can binge Netflix<\/a> in 4K!\u00a0Roughly one third of the CPU die is devoted to graphics and multimedia functions.
\nEven though the i7-7700K is better, its better by a little percent.\u00a04.5GHz turbo compared to 4.2GHz turbo on the i7-6700K and 4.2 base vs. 4.0 base give the expected performance differential of five to seven percent. If you overclock<\/a> both processors you’re looking at 4.7GHz against 5.0GHz! Is it worth a $20 difference? With this rate of difference you’ll be hearing crickets at the Intel booth.<\/p>\n
