Intel Core i7-7700K "Kaby Lake" Processor Detailed
It looks like Intel's 7th generation performance desktop processor, the Core i7-7700K, will be a quad-core part, like the seven generations before it. Leaked SiSoft SANDRA benchmark leaderboards reveal interesting details about the chip. To begin with, this quad-core part will feature HyperThreading enabling 8 logical CPUs for the OS to deal with. It will be clocked at 3.60 GHz, with a TurboBoost frequency of 4.20 GHz. Compare this, to the 4.00 GHz nominal and 4.20 GHz TurboBoost clocks of the current-generation i7-6700K. Bear in mind that this is a pre-release engineering-sample, and may not be accurate for the production chips.
The IMC of the i7-7700K will be clocked at 4.00 GHz, and its integrated graphics core will feature 24 execution units, much like "Skylake-D." The cache setup is unchanged, too, with 256 KB per-core L2, and 8 MB shared L3 caches. The "Kaby Lake" silicon will be built on Intel's 14 nm node, and is rumored to be slightly more energy-efficient than "Skylake." It will be built in the LGA1151 package, and will be compatible with current Intel 100-series and future 200-series chipset motherboard. "Kaby Lake" is the third mainline CPU architecture by Intel on the 14 nm node (after "Broadwell" and "Skylake"). The first 7th generation Core processors could launch later this year.

I can easily wait until Zen. *yawn*
:slap:
I know we can buy a 6x with 2011 (I have one), but those are still extreme prices. I would like to see a 6x with hyperthreading cheaper, for the current price of an i7 k series. Let's have quad core i3's.. I'd like to get excited over a cpu like I did with the C2D E6300 or even the E8400 where I hit 4ghz on a cheap mid level cooler (I could go back to Math co days, but I feel I will loss my crowd.. and show my age.. lol). Do we ever expect to see an i8? I'm just an old hardware junky Dave.. I need my fix!..lolDirty indeed! :roll:
If leaks are right, seems to be about right give or take a few dollars. Remember, there is a deca-core at the top of the heap, so with normal pricing structure, it should be more than the $1K Octo..
Oh and buddy, I'm not sure you understand where I'm coming from.. I don't care if they change the socket to get a 6 or 8 core cpu for at most $329. Everybody is stuck on the socket not supporting more than 4 cores. It hasn't stopped Intel from changing the socket on the last 5 i7's.. So, change it again... and I know we have 2011.. I'm looking for main stream being an x6 not an x4. OK, I've said what I want.. I'm becoming bored with it. buddy you have a blue screen free day! :toast:
ALL DA POINTZ
Laptops.
spend money on tech thats over hyped but would have been awesome if it was release several years ago...
Either way :
one gonna hurt ya...and one gonna hurt ya...but you'll like it.
There is no demand, or need, for more than 4c/8t in the mainstream, so what reason does Intel have to release even cheaper 6-core parts to the mainstream market?
Hell, you can go to newegg right now and get an X99 board for $150.
