Intel Core i7-7700K Cracks 7 GHz Bench-Stable Overclock

Last time I checked, extreme overclocking (ex. Liquid Nitrogen cooling) was not your thing guys.
Otherwise you would appreciate/recognize the importance of this vs skylake overclockability.
Thats why your judgement and mindset is pretty much (unfortunately) "not on point".

Sorry for being harsh though but if you can't really judge what is good "xoc-wise" then stick to the air/water ocability that will probably please you all (5+ GHz on air vs a maximum of 4.7/4.8 on good skylake chips). :)

Am i the only one pondering how this is even newsworthy didn't stilt hit over 8.7 on an fx processor like mine over two years ago??.

Which is only good for reference speed/frequency and not actual performance (benchmarks), as mentioned above.
 
Sorry, but while this is cool its just not cool enough since it cuts itself to a dual core to achieve this. I always like seeing overclocks but only when its the full chip hitting them even if they are using LN2 to cool it.

ok so 7GHz 4c/8t shouldnt be a problem and you will see more in the future when more chips have been binned. ;)

Like the 8350 and 8370

Hey Look. new processor (with OC) gave u 0min 0sec 688ms faster time on wPrime - 1024m

upload_2016-12-28_22-25-35.png

and 10ms faster PiFast Speeds.

:D WOW SUCH SPEED MUST UPGRADE :roll:
 
Why not just keep 0.5 cores and clock to over 9000 GHz? Or why not disable all cores and overclock to infinity? Eh? Why the hell not?? Why even stop there??

you know every ms counts when youre talking about benchmarks and splave can found a better cpu.

we are talking about a new generation that gives you Aprox. 0,734% performance boost... thats the joke.

inst a joke since intel already said that there wont be any performance gain.

Let propose the following situation:

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.

Like the Toyota 15/16? The differences are small, same for this 7700K.

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.
 
Running Win XP 32 bit instead of a 64 bit OS shows more stability than 64 bit does and allows for higher but unstable overclocks for validation. Impressive, but not that impressive as soon we could have instant load fault tolerant benchmarks for not much more than BIOS's and it becomes even less useable.

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......

there is zero IPC differences bud.. none. It's all in clocks.

carmakers do this all the time... though you are wrong in how. What the 7700k is actually, a mid generation update. You know.. subtle tweaks like the facia, maybe the interior a bit.. etc. Its still a Camry... except this is the 2017 model. They are not taking the camry and slapping an avalon label on it.

A new generation should bring more performance. The fact that people defend Intel saying that this is normal only proves that Intel have the market in their hands, and even if AMD releases new processors, even if they are better than Intel's current generation, consumers will still choose intel. This is called being a fanboy.

100% agree. I hate it too when people are defending those corporations that are overly rich because of brainwashing their consumers or the consumers are ignorant.

I hate when people assume that making a new generation of CPUs is exactly the same as making a new flavor of Cheetos. How could they put the same flavor on the market and call it a new flavor? Ridiculous.
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.

It's not a new generation though... it's a refinement of the current process. This is really no different than Devils canyon (4790k) was to Haswell (4770k)..

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. ;)
