Leaked Intel Core i7-7700K Sample Tested

It seems like this chip will need a delid or a really good cooler. A guy over at anandtech got something similar though, so it seems like the 7700k will handle high 4s to a 5Ghz OC pretty well, if you're comfortable with a voltage that's pretty high.

Is it me or is tech going backwards? Considering I was easily OCing my 2600K back in the days @ 5ghz on air. And still keeping temp to around 85C

Hey, at least we only need to upgrade CPUs every 4-5 years now... if AMD was competitive, maybe things would be different.

If trolls went trolls they would know that AMD is releasing Zen in Q1 2017!

This is like the Pentium 4 all over again. Just crank up the speed a bit for a massive hike in heat and power consumption. For those old enough to remember, there were bigger gains going from the Core 2 duo E6700 to the E6750, which was just a small FSB increase:

That was more of a 2nd 'Tock' than this thing.

Hmm. I've read the article and I don't know if I should laugh or cry. (when I thought about it laugh is adequate). Really I see no improvement but total deterioration. I always thought that having a next gen will bring something new to the table. event if intel was giving 1% more that was still more. But giving less as an improvement? That's just ridiculous.

Is it finally time to upgrade my i7 3770K?

The 7700K is exactly 4000 better.
