Abstract: Earlier this year we updated our CPU buying guide putting Ryzen front and center, and while that guide is due for an update now that Ryzen 3 and Threadripper have landed, those picks are still as valid today as they were back then with the Ryzen 5 1600 of...
Abstract: Its hard to believe considering we just finished up an Intel launch, but it is already time to check out Intel’s next launch. Kaby Lake was launched at the beginning of this year and the Mainstream lineup of CPUs is getting refreshed with Coffee Lake and Z370. This is the 8th generation of Intel’s Core processors going back to the original launch back in 2006...
Abstract: In last month's review of the Intel Core i9-7900X, there were two caveats keeping us from giving the platform an unmitigated recommendation. The first is the fact that the platform's most powerful processors won't launch until October. The second is that...

Abstract: Intel's direction for the high-end desktop space has taken an interesting turn. After several years of iterative updates, slowly increasing core counts and increasing IPC, we have gotten used to being at least one generation of microarchitecture behind th...
Abstract: Intel's new Core i7-7740X for the socket 2066 proves to be the fastest CPU for gaming in the test. However, it is just a weak upgrade to Intel's Core i7-7700K that lags behind the Ryzen CPUs in multitasking due to its low core count...

Performance in lightly threaded applications, Higher overclock ceiling, Higher base memory frequency
X299 chipset, Disabled PCIe and memory features (X299), Price
The Core i7-7740X brings some of the best features of the Kaby Lake microarchitecture to the HEDT platform, but you lose the integrated GPU in the process. The restricted PCIe and memory features hamstring the X299 platform, but you still pay for feat...
The Core i7 7740X certainly behaves much better in stressed condition opposed to the Skylake-X 10 core parts. Still it remains to be a little high relative to energy efficiency and the temperatures, these can be challenging. Pretty cool though is the fact...

Kaby LakeX offers no apparent advantages over Kaby Lake and actually performs worse in every category
Slightly slower than Kaby Lake yet consumes considerably more power and costs more courtesy of the X299 motherboard
Power ConsumptionIf you thought Kaby Lake-X looked pretty ordinary so far, hold on to your thermal paste. For no added performance (in fact, less performance more often than not), the Kaby Lake-X CPUs consumed between 15 and 20% more power under load in o...
High base clock speed, Much more affordable than higher-end Core X-Series CPUs, "Kaby Lake" base architecture means better support for 4K streaming than on higher-end "Skylake X" CPUs
Similar performance to the Core i7-7700K, but on a pricier platform with costlier motherboards, Only 16 PCI Express lanes on the CPU, Six-core Core X chip costs just $50 more, supports more lanes
Intel's "Kaby Lake" i7 chip on the Core X platform delivers good quad-core performance in line with the Core i7-7700K, but lacks extra PCI Express lanes or other standout features. Most users should stick with Intel's mainstream platform, or opt for a Co...
