Intel Core i7-7700K Cracks 7 GHz Bench-Stable Overclock
It may have practically no IPC gains over its predecessor, but Intel's 7th generation Core "Kaby Lake" unlocked processors are shaping up to be an overclocker's delight. A Core i7-7700K sample tested by professional overclocker Allen "Splave" Golibersuch was able to breach the 7 GHz barrier. To achieve this feat however, HyperThreading was disabled, and two of the four CPU cores were also disabled.
Paired with an ASRock Z170 OC Formula motherboard, the i7-7700K was bench-stable at 7022.96 MHz, at the chip's maximum base clock multiplier of 69x, and a base-clock of 101.78 MHz. The Vcore voltage was set at a scorching 2.00V. The chip crunched PiFast in 9.02 seconds, SuperPi 32M in 4 minutes 20.25 seconds, wPrime 32M in 2.953 seconds, and wPrime 1024M in 1 minute 33.171 seconds. Paired with an ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 STRIX OC graphics card, it scored 643,316 points in Aquamark, and 86,798 points in 3DMark 05.

msg me bro
Hey Look. new processor (with OC) gave u 0min 0sec 688ms faster time on wPrime - 1024m
and 10ms faster PiFast Speeds.
:D WOW SUCH SPEED MUST UPGRADE :roll:
You work for an X company that sells cars. You are responsible for developing a new car at the request of your CEO. You present your idea of car and it is exactly like the previous one, without changing anything, without any increase in speed, capacity, size, accessories, nothing, it is exactly the same, the only change would be the name.
What would your boss say to you?
If I do this at my job I'm fired.
This is a optimization plataform such as support for intel optane, HEVC 10bit support using very low power and other small stuff, this is mostly good for laptops.
Im not defending intel here, saying you have to change your 6700K for a 7700K unless you really want/need Netflix 4K on your PC.
This is more like, I pumped 1000HP shot of Nitrous into an engine and for the three seconds before it blew up it made 1150HP, so imagine how fast it would have been......
Expecting never ending IPC increases like cpu arch is something you jot down on the napkin when you are bored at the dinner, and scoffing off at the achievable high clocks ... and to top it off calling others ignorant, brainwashed and in defense of rich corporations ... that's not only childish but also ironic because fanboyism is when you defend a company in spite of series of bad products, not when you praise a company because of the series of excellent products.
You all must really not like amd considering how their ipc increased from bulldozer to piledriver on the fx line which the former has been out for 5 years. Seems more stagnent than Intel who has had some ipc increases over the last 5 years...
...let's look at the forest and not the trees before we go calling others fanboys. Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. ;)
