Superb gaming performance thanks to fast clock speeds, Excellent overclocking capacity aided by strong X299 VRM solutions and a larger package, A solid option when all-out frequency is more important than core counts past four, Gives purchasers strong upg
Poor thermal performance, Power efficiency is lacking, especially in comparison to Ryzen or Broadwell-E, Multi-threaded performance leaves plenty to be desired on a ‘High-end Desktop' product, Poor value compared to the Core i7-7700K which offers an iGPU
There's no denying that Intel's Kaby Lake-X Core i7-7740X is an ultra-fast processor in lightly-threaded applications that can be overclocked to a dizzying 5GHz+ with ease. Gaming performance is superb thanks to the Kaby Lake-X processor's 4.5GHz operatin...

Competitive single and quad-core performance, Fantastic for gaming, Faster than Ryzen in tasks that only use 4-cores, Easy to overclock, Significantly cooler than the previous generation, Significantly less power-hungry than the previous generation, Compe
Ryzen offers fastest rendering/multitasking for around the same price in certain applications, No major performance improvements over the last generation, “With blazing fast quad-core performance, easy overclocking and low temperatures, the i7-7740X is th
PricingThe Intel Core i7-7740X LGA 2066 Skylake-X CPU is available now from most major retailers. It's currently on Amazon for £341.33. That price is about £10 more the 8-core Ryzen 1700X. However, when it comes to gaming, this fast quad-core does stay in...
Intel allows high-end desktops to achieve much higher performances by introducing Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X. This is certainly good news for content creators, who could use the higher performance for 3D-rendering, video editing or other demanding, creativ...
Barely utilises capabilities of X299 platform, High TDP
The Intel Core i7-7740X is a unique proposition from Intel. It has exhibited some of the best single-threaded performance we've seen with the Kabylake microarchitecture. However, the 7700K along with a Z270 board seems to offer near about the same perform...
Fully loaded with features and connectivity, RGB LEDs everywhere, Excellent construction quality, One-touch overclocking
Needs clearer documentation, Extremely expensive
Kaby Lake-X creates a new market segment, but we're still not sure who its target audience is. The Core i7-7740X is a very fast CPU on its own and can be overclocked easily, but it's expensive and requires a platform that's complete overkill. At least it...

Respectable rendering performance, Tool-less and spacious case, Cool temperatures and quiet acoustics, Upgrade Path, Water cooled, Water cooling potential
Expensive, Not ideal for air-cooling setups, Weird case setup
Overall the rig performed relatively well in the task it was intended to do, which was rendering. Also, it can still play games at respectable frame rates and quality. Despite having minimal airflow, the system was able to maintain cool temperatures and a...
Good overclocking potential, Strong gaming performance, High base clock and excellent singlethreaded performance
16 PCIe lanes from the CPU limits the features on the X299 platform, Not that much better than the Core i77700K, Only dualchannel memory support
So is this supposed to be an HEDT or mainstream chip?Intel had a nice idea with Kaby Lake-X. Adapt a mainstream chip for the Core X HEDT family, and make it the same price as the Core i7-7700K! It'll work with an Intel X299 motherboard, so you can save no...
