Definitely gonna upgrade to the 7700k.

I hope that's sarcasm, if it's not why would you go from a 6700k to 7700k?

I got very close numbers with my 4 series i5 compared to the 7700k It's not worth paying extra money on ddr4 and a new mobo by the looks of It.

Every year a new series and new chipsets, but no progress. Hope AMD will do the right thing and Intel can suck it 2-3 years for those prices and "new" CPUs.

Well HEY, 0.02% is still bigger than 0.01%!

Yes, it is, i am curious though, how it overclockes compared to skylake.

So it's 91W vs 95W (+4,4%), and for this extra cost we get +7,4-8,8% cpu-performance at the same 14nm process (+3-4,4%). This is on paper not a big deal, and maybe in a real power-consumption test there will be no difference at all. The main increase should be with the iGPU, but that's not important for gamers, so hello skylake 2.0, haswell 3.0, ivy-bridge 4.0, sandy-bridge 5.0 (if we forget about broadwell). If it can get a higher overclock than skylake and mantain this +3-4,4% increased performance, then it's still just a very little upgrade, only for those good, who have old pc and need a new one. Better buy is still a used i7-5820k with 6cores12threads, just games doesn't really need 6cores yet, but it's more futureproof than a 4core processor for same cost.

I thought it was 🙂 I suspect it'll overclock the same as the 6700k

Sure but you forgot "-", in test mentioned 7700k was 0.02% slower.

They should do last test in which they leave 7700K stock and OC 6600K to 4.5GHz. And see what they get.

Well if skylake scales perfectly with clocks the difference is what 1-2%? At least Kaby being so underwhelming gives Zen better chances...

I will wait till (zen) drops then decide what route to take. Intel is seriously milking us at this point in time/.I do miss my 4790k but this time around I will wait it out.:)

No one needs one. I would rather wait too see what 8c/16t Zen can do.

A lot of recent games support 4+ cores, hence the semi-Bulldozer renaissance.

Meh my 2500/2600k's will last until Zen. 6 years with these cpu's and the new ones aren't faster stock than my overclocked ones. SMH

definitely no upgrade from 60xx series but for people buying new PC, kabylake isnt bad choice DDR3 is EOL... DDR4 is current standard, while might not hard to find DDR3 ram for now, but i personally stay away with EOL product and maybe for movie/netflix mania, i read "currently" its the kabylake the only one supported for decoding 4k 10-bit HEVC not sure why no gpu (nvidia/amd) listed as compatible yet (based from what i read few weeks ago)
