Intel Core i7 7700K Spotted Online for 360 Euro

The next gen Core i5 and i7 series processors will be based on Kaby lake. The new series will only offer a relative incremental performance increment. The processors however have been spotted at an on-line e-tailer.

Over at Wccftech they spotted on an Estonian etail website the Kaby Lake Core i7 7700K that can be (pre) ordered for € 360,35. The website also is listing the specifications, which we can now assume to be final at a 4.2 Base frequency with a 4.5 Turbo frequency. That Boost frequency is higher then the initial rumors mentioned. The processor will get 256 KB cache per-core L2, and 8 MB shared L3 caches and has a 95 Watt TDP.

Processor	Cores/Threads	Base Clock	L3 Cache	TDP
Core i7-7700K	4/8	4.2 GHz	8 MB	95W
Core i7-7700	4/8	3.6 GHz	8 MB	65W
Core i7-7700T	4/8	2.9 GHz	8 MB	35W
Core i5-7600K	4/4	3.8 GHz	6 MB	95W
Core i5-7600	4/4	3.5 GHz	6 MB	65W
Core i5-7600T	4/4	2.8 GHz	6 MB	35W
Core i5-7500T	4/4	2.7 GHz	6 MB	35W
Core i5-7400	4/4	3.0 GHz	6 MB	65W
Core i5-7400T	4/4	2.4 GHz	6 MB	35W

The desktop processors based on Kaby will use LGA 1151. The best models will obviously be an unlocked K series processor. The Kaby lake platform for desktops will support USB 3.1 and DDR4. The Core i7 7700K is once a quad-core processor with HyperThreading enabling 8 logical CPUs.

I guess I should finally overclock my Sky i5 and thus essentially turn it into a Kaby i5.

360Eur for a quad-core, no thanks. I'll wait.

360 euros is still very expensive for a CPU which is almost identical to the previous generation. Where there is a monopoly prices go up. Nvidia became almost a monopoly prices immediately went up. 500 euros for a mid range card is not a good price at all. ~ +100 euros since GTX 9xx. Intel's CPUs also went upstairs with the price lately. An i5 costed 200-220 euros and an i7 300-320. Now they cost +50 euros more on average (depending on country but prices went up for everyone).

Looks like the real price to me, at least at launch. It will probably increase 5-10% shortly after as Intel employs their usual stock controls. With the mainstreaming of 6 and 8 cores not too far away I think this price tag is disappointing. 4 cores/8 threads will accomplish 95% of tasks just fine but with looming architectures out there the price should be back down around 300ish. Having had a i7-920, 2600k, 3770k, 4790k, and now 6700k, this is the first cycle I will be sitting out in quite some time.

Agreed this is what happens when there is no competition in the high end cpu market. Prices get crazy. Luckily these cpu's are underwhelming to say the least and I hope Intel is stuck with low sales and learn a lesson on pricing for the next release. I wouldn't hold your breath tho, Intel has become a monster. Where is Godzilla?

prices gone up, where? mainstream i7 top of the line CPUs had the same MSRP for as long as I remember. priced maybe only slightly went up in Europe but that's because Euro-USD excange rate dropped last year.

i7-2600K, i7-3770K, i7-4790K, i7-6700K all cost more or less the same on release day.

Pricing looks about where it should be to me, still looking forward to playing with one of these, hopefully they won't be out until Feb or something, as I may be getting an X99 Platform to play on now

I think anyone expecting Zen to be an "Intel killer" is going to be sadly disappointed.

What about people expecting it to be an "Intel competitor", so that Intel can stop selling 1.7BN transistor chips alone, at $300+?

In order to really compete it must perform well enough. If it underperforms it's not going to sell very well so no worries for Intel. We still have no serious reasons to believe that Zen can really take on Intel. I just hope they will generate enough sales to put AMD back on track and maybe later we will have some real competition. Until then hold a small basket.
