So i lowered my O/C on my 6700k to 4.5 just to see the difference, and i was expecting to see a increase in performance but for some reason the 6700k is scoring higher not by much but still , ive also have 56 background processes running .

Anyway thanks for a great review ,enjoyed reading it as always :) :)

the fact these overclock to 5GHz so easily does make then very very tempting.

However, I'm gonna wait for Zen review as 4core/8threads is just painful to see on the "high end mainstream" segment in 2017 now.

Just imagine if software developers actually went down the route of multi threading and aimed to improve performance that way in 2006. Maybe AMD wouldn't be in the predicament they are in now and the bulldozer architecture would of actually had some legs.

If both Intel and AMD go the route of lowering clock speeds but increasing core count the devs would have no choice but to program their software to use multiple cores properly instead of just using a few of them.

Now if it was only that simple - hope your right cos Zen is on shopping list :)

Great review! Kind of feel insulted by Kaby Lake, that Intel have the gall to release something so ridiculously side-ways like this. I dearly hope that Zen can bitch-slap them so hard they are sent back to the drawing board. Have a feeling from this point on all eyes will be on AMD, doubt anyone will touch a 7700k until Zen is out.
