4 more points on the 7700k. brb lemme spend 350$ and trash my 6700k

[lilmoe]

Just a little correction. It's Kaby Lake, not "Kurby Lake"... Thanks for the comparison.

Yet again a Fantastic informative video!
keep up the astounding work :)

[scottwiltse]

I've been using the 6700k for about a year now . And I see no need for a upgrade . Thanks for the video's. And information.

[DallasBros]

You got so slim! Congrats bro to your effort! Hope you like the thin and healthy!

[SERGE_Tech]

I love your quality man! unbelievable topics. Love the energy you put in your videos! You've changed quite a bit are you doing bodybuilding?

[SERGE_Tech]

you look sharp man love your new look! I always find my way back to your channel! thanks.

[andyholmes]

Always watch this guy. No bull and great info. Many thanks.

Great video! I just subbed.

Can't wait to get my 6800k. I'm just upgrading to that, the motherboard (since it's required from going from 1155 with an i5-3570k) and RAM (since it's also required for DDR4. For nearly the same price as a 7700k and only needing to spend about $100 more for a motherboard, you know what I'm gonna go for. :)

I do a lot of multi tasking in terms of programming, video editing, streaming, and gaming, so to be able to overclock that 6800k to at least 4.0 will definitely come in handy. Man, I just need $800. Also, for some reason, ever since upgrading from Win 7 to Win 10, the desktop manager program sucks balls and, for example, screensharing with Skype is absolute horsecrap and I need more power for it.

Can someone PLEASE do a benchmark 7700k vs 6700k at the SAME CLOCK SPEED, it bet they are just the same thing.

[twoodcc]

nice video! and again, great to see you in in such great shape! i know it took a lot of work to lose that weight. keep it up!

[AlonzoTNG]

Literally as soon a build my pc with a 6700k they drop the 7700k -_- fuck outta here

[Austin]

You can only expect the i7-6800K to overclock to 4.2GHz (4.0GHz to be safe). You got lucky with 4.5GHz.
What frequencies were the cores actually running at thanks to Turbo Boost? In one review, all the high-end Skylake and Kabylake chips ran all their cores at their maximum TB frequencies. Did you experience this? What did the i7-6800K run at?

[samljer]

i literally bought the 6700k the same day the 7700k came out

i refused to get a chip with all that DRM built in, and lack of legacy. (even though it was just $10 more)

[hugoagogo]

Odd just looked on GeekBench
Processor Score single core
Intel Core i7-7700K
4.2 GHz (4 cores)
5714

Intel Core i7-6700K
4.0 GHz (4 cores)
5326

multi core
Intel Core i7-7700K
4.2 GHz (4 cores)
18316

Intel Core i7-6700K
4.0 GHz (4 cores)
17116

you sure your number are right?

[Ikrananka]

I would have liked to see the complete performance numbers for both stock and overclocked. The evaluation seemed greatly lacking without more overclocked performance data.

[toddsimone]

There's something wrong with your Geekbench single core for the 6700k. Should be pulling 5k all day. Something was probably running in the background.

[eckomind]

If the 7700k was a 6 core, I'd definitely upgrade.

Hello! Thank you for this video! I have a i7 4790 3.6Ghz, (i regret not buying the 4790K sorry) is it worth it to buy a new i7 7700K now? i mean, the speed and overall performance between my old i7 4790 and i7 7700K should be very big, right? Thank you.
