Review: Core i5 7640X
In this review we'll show you the performance the 242 USD quad core Core i5 7640X from Intel offers. This 242 USD Kaby Lake-X processor is the the most affordable one for the X299 platform. But without hyper-threading / SMT how will it perform?
Read the full review here.

mmmmmmmmmm! you got me there! Cannot think of one!
my kabni, my athlon, my amd's all served me well, now go crawl under your intel shell, better still keep out, you have led a sheltered life.
And before i go, intel has also served me well! I cannot think of one cpu from either camp that have been - rma
AMD may indeed provide the regular user with far more value for the money (often twice or more), but when was the last time they made anything reliable?

I understand that this was not a motherboard review but I´d not recommend just because they got the number of pin pads on the socket so wrong lol, and of course four threads are so lame, even by 3 year old game console standards.

This site has been doing this for years. I see nothing wrong with it, because the information written isn't any less true between products of the same family. The articles are designed so you don't have to read up on another product to get the full picture. Hilbert designs the article structure in a way where you can skip information you've already seen.
Other people have pointed this out too - Hilbert's explanation was the product as a CPU (so ignoring price) is good, which is true. But I agree that the product as a whole is far from recommendable.
Even the 7740X is a stupid product, and yet many people are buying it with good ratings. Intel somehow knew some people would be ok with it.
But of lately, I have been seeing reviews being carried out in a lackluster way. Its the same paragraphs repeated for every product in a category.

And how does a 7640X or a 7740X get a Recommended Badge? Buying processors which are lesser priced than motherboards and are available for a lesser price on lower priced platforms.

Honestly, I don't think these even should exist in this world. They are nothing but pure evil. Best be used as box openers or toasters or for making food while gaming as well.

Recommended award removed. People that found it needed to insult, banned. And well, I'll rethink next time if I want to spend 3 days on a review for you guys for your reading pleasure on a processor that i paid out of my own pocket, I might rethink doing that.
Comments are fine, but the stupidity and insults are unacceptable. Thanks guys, it is great to be an editor in 2017, your support is fantastic!

Intel's new milking machine. People are going to buy it believing they will get the full platform benefits, and they will only get a regular i5 with bigger cache enclosed in a bigger shell.
Very likely the improvements they got over the regular i5 were the higher clock and cache.
