THANK YOU INTEL!

This processor is a tactic made by the jews to counter ZEN all the while reaping insane profits by idiots who buy every single new release and the people who were actively waiting for zen.

when can i buy the new kaby lake chips from newegg/amazon?
i'm about to order parts for my new mini-itx build, and am going with a 6600 now but if the 7600 is the same price or a bit lower obviously i'd take it. i just don't want to wait more than an extra day or two
Xavier Moore
As opposed to AMD who are the IBM of the CPU world? Face it man, there's no one else making x86 desktop processors, so we have to deal with one of either company's bullshit.
Logan Young
Owen Scott
I'm on a i3 2100 should I buy this now or will the price drop when zen comes out?
>Supporting Globalist AMD
Lucas Torres
Feel bad for AMD, one year too late for Zen.
Isaiah Ramirez
Wait for it
There's no need for rush.
Gavin Smith
Ayden Perry
no, the 7700K is an overcloked 6700K with a better iGPU...
Xavier Evans
>mfw 4790k is still relevant
Eli Garcia
Any downsides to using this on a z170?
Matthew Wright
>better iGPU
literally the only difference is the 4k drm decode shit
Owen Gutierrez
who the fuck buys every new release?
for what purpose?
Cooper Torres
Thanks for the (You)
Jayden Adams
>better igpu
>guru3d.com
~10% difference mainly gained from the stock overclock over 6700K. Aka nothing.
Jayden Turner
>The 7600k loses to the 6600k many times in a lot of tests
What the actual fuck.
Juan Foster
>idiots
l2read senpai. Just you wait for the 7700K flying off the shelves as the 6700K did , even though 0 fucks were given to actual improvents.
Xavier Thomas
>tfw i got one brand new for $200 a couple months back
Don't want to OC just yet
Brayden Lee
the 5th supposedly
Samuel Young
> it's literally worse than the 6700K
lol
Dominic Price
Should i sell my 6600k and get a 7600k?
Lincoln Thompson
I imagined the benchmarks to be like this. I just upgraded my i5 3570k to an i7 3770k to last another year or two... or 3. Did I do good Sup Forums?

This pretty much . Feels very bad desu.
Nicholas Stewart
>implying kabylake won't have the yearly 10% "inflation" intel price hike
Camden Hughes
Can some fag just tell me if they run cooler than Skylake? Really don't care about anything else.
Tyler Lewis
So kaby lake is an 1151 socket.
Does that mean theyll work in Z170 motherboards?
Bentley Rivera
Go price a 4790k or 4690k or whatever on Newegg, and get back to me on the mystical price drop from Intel msrp I keep hearing about.
Leo Stewart
yes! it does!
Sebastian Thomas
Ryzen hasn't arrived yet arrived. We don't know the upper bounds for clockspeed on ANY of the chips OR what the pricing will be.
You faggots have been shitting on AMD for years, don't act like you're suddenly sad that, in your schizophrenic delusions, Ryzen is "DOA." Shut the fuck up or go shitpost on Reddit.
Asher Johnson
Whats the catch?
If they work in the old MOBOs there should have been no reason to make the Z270 boards.
Asher Parker
If the skylake is same as kabylake, why did they release kabylake?
(((Coincidences)))
Wyatt White
>(((
Landon Nelson
You need an updated UEFI for Kaby Lake to work in Z170, so in most cases, you have to make sure either the board is updated, or that you have access to a Sky Lake chip to update the UEFI.
As for why there are new boards, it's for new features. USB 3.1 gen 2, for example. Get those 10gbps speeds. More m.2 slots, etc. The only reason I upgraded from my 2500k a few months ago was for lack of features like that.
Ryder Bennett
No point in upgrading then.
Thanks for the info, was thinking of bumping my 6600k up to the 7700k.
Hunter Wood
This must be the smallest performance gain from a new generation of CPU's intel has ever released.
Yes it's a refresh but still they market it as a new generation. This is pathetic
Isaiah Ross
It's Intel being jews again. Can't allow people to upgrade their processors just like that, if they're forced to buy a mobo too Intel will get a cut from that too.
Kaby Lake is just a massive scam, user. New motherboards that don't have any new features and new processors that are same as old ones except factory overclocked.
Yeah, also this. Make sure your z170 has kaby lake support.
Hudson Collins
This is beyond pathetic.
Jonathan Smith
Sell it for 2 Zen's (that outperform it) in about 2 months.
Jason Taylor
I was thinking about upgrading my i5-4670K to Kaby Lake, but it seems it would be best waiting for the next generation instead.
Adrian Hughes
>5775c still the best gaming cpu
what went wrong?
Adrian James
USB 3.1 gen 2 and m.2 are nice but not really worth upgrading your entire system for if you're using 2nd gen+ in my opinion.
The differences are nice and noticeable but they really are just luxury tier at this point. That's just my take on it anyway, maybe I'll upgrade my main board cpu and ram in a year or two but seems pointless right now.
Thomas Davis
Where do you get it so cheap? Jews in my country still sell it for ~400€
Jeremiah Baker
I don't think clock-for-clock comparisons are really a good way of looking at Kaby. The whole point is basically Skylake + Extra clockspeeds. Most reviewers are getting easy 5.0ghz on relatively low voltage. Youtube reviewer BitWit got 4.9ghz at 1.139v.
Angel Wood
most ppl dont overclock
Adam Reed
It's literally a downgrade from 6700k. Wtf went wrong?
Tyler Young
lack of competition. that's why everyone should be rooting for amd.
Jordan Gray
What about temperatures? When will I be able to see actual temperatures on different multipliers?
Hunter Kelly
>k
>don't oc
Normies will get the non K
Camden Cooper
Well here are some temps on stock clocks, but nothing more about the temps on any of these other sites.
Guess we'll just have to wait for people to get their hands on these things until we know.
Of course it's possible that the temps are so abysmal that no one wanted to really report them.

Isaiah Lewis
Nevermind already checked it. CPUs are a fucking joke. I really can't stress enough how fucked up things are. Games back in 2015 were already bottlenecked by my i5 3570k. Witcher 3, Watch Dogs 2, GTA 5 with custom radio - all dropped frames and struggled with stuttering cuz of 99% CPU usage. Because we see no actual gains in IPC there are literally no viable upgrades for somebody like me without going all out and buying i7. I really pray for AMD because it seems like the era of increasing IPC and clock speeds is over. It seems that games finally start using HT and more than 4 cores so if you have an i3 or i5 and look for a budget upgrade there is literally nothing out there. Idc if Zen will be 5% behind Intel in terms of single threaded performance. Those extra 4 cores would still mean 20-30 fps more in newest games. AMD really has a chance here. Please change something.
Matthew Barnes
Intel rereleases their 2015 CPUs in 2017 and they're still better than anything AMD makes, sad!
Mason Thomas

Ethan Johnson
Ditch the cheapest budget solutions, just get the 5820k and call it a day.
No need to worry about not having enough cores in the future.
That one will last you until they start making CPUs out of something else than silicon.
Charles Hill
tfw 2500k
Dominic Smith
My friend is building a new computer soon after ordering the parts from newegg and amazon. He bought a 6600k and Z170 board from amazon but he's gotta wait for the rest of his parts to come from newegg still. Is it worth it for him to return that shit and get 7600k and Z270? Probably not I'd imagine.
Asher Hughes
And embarrassment.
Jews did this.
Jacob Flores
What does Z270 even have over Z170?
Adrian Watson
What the hell is he going to do with the newer and most likely more expensive parts, that are EXACTLY on par with the previous gen?
Only thing that it has going on for itself is the 4k decoder stuff and Optane.
Julian Jones
the temps are not great
youtu.be
Colton Roberts
That's what I thought. Those things are sold out everywhere as well right now, no sense waiting for the ability to use optane that will be several times the price per gig of regular SSDs and most people won't notice the difference.
Jose Powell
wasnt the difference from non k and k skylake something like 500-700mhz difference at base?
That, even if you don't oc is a fairly large number for sub 40$
Elijah Edwards
Besides you can get pretty damn good speeds right now from the NVMe drives.
Here's my 960 EVO vs Optane file transfer they demoed some time ago.
What I think happened was that Optane tured out to be far too costly to produce, so they took their time with it.
Then Samsung got on a massive roll with the speeds and now that Optane is finally coming out, it's nothing groundbreaking and will most likely flop, unless it brings something seriously impressive to the table.

so intel finally released a competitor for the 9590?
About time!
Camden Price
This was primarily a fabrication improvement release.
The CPUs are better designed to handle overclocking this release.
James Martin
Are you retarded?
A 6600k is just a 7600k if you overlock it to the same frequencies.
One must be retarded to buy the more expensive CPU when you can get the same performance for way less money.
Leo Clark
They literally cost the same. Intel never lower prices significantly when they release a new generation of CPUs.
Angel Powell
Intel releases their next masterpiece

>I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS.EXE
Julian Wright
HAHAHAHAHA
Intel is now the new meme: Intel Housefire!
Eli Murphy
No, they do not cost the same here.
And if, it means they just increased the price for the 6600K.
The i5-7600K costs around 17% more than the 6600K, and that is with the latter getting more expensive.
It had been once available at 235€ for a longer time.
Cooper Smith
I wonder will netflix support Zen chips? If not i'm unsubbnig.
Landon Rodriguez
haha yes, if this keeps up, in 3 generations they'll also be releasing 5GHz chips.

The i5-5675C was the best CPU you can get for your money, if you wanted to upgrade from a significantly older CPU.

I'm on a i5 3570 and wanna upgrade because it starts to show its age in some games, especially open world.
best i7 to buy at this point or near future? I reckon the 3770k would be a waste of money, but that would also mean a motherboard change, any recommendations? wait for zen?
Levi Wilson
>absolute zero
>air cooling
You might be mentally deficient.
Parker Cooper
well 75% of people don't need a computer with x86 architecture since the most strenuous things they typically use are either their phones or a gaming console.
I'd honestly like to see a wider implementation of these low power single board chips to handle day to day tasks. All these nuc's and compute sticks are really just the first sign that the personal desktop PC is dying as a mainstay of the household. Soon it will just be another old persons hobby like auto modding or model making.
Nathaniel Sanders
you are right but there will be no standards for such small computers, every manufacturer will spew out a shitload of proprietary devices updated like smartphones today, It's unneccessary, unecological and makes market fragmenet even more
pcs we know are standarized and you can change parts for whatever you like that lies within standard
Nolan James
Not yet.
Joshua Martin
1 more m.2 port and more pcie lanes I think.
Ayden Ross
is that a bad thing?
right now the market is stagnant due to having only two competitors and one of them not releasing any improvements for years. so we've had 1% upgrades and even downgrades.
compare that to consoles or phones. the market is full of tons of cheap shit and expensive shit, but they've made actual improvements over time.
as long as we have the standardized ports then we'll be fine, we already have the groundwork's of usb, hdmi, display port, etc.
so now we need actual uses for the performance that these are capable of.
