Intel Kaby Lake Core i5-7600K Spotted (Photo)

I am seriously hoping for a K-SKU for an i3...

 

So, another i5 another quad core, meh. Zen looks more and more appealing.

 

Quadcore with boost of 200mhz? How is that a thing? No doubt also a 10% price increase at launch over the 6000 series.

Intel again shafting everyone because of lack of competition in the highend segment.

 

Intel will impress me when they release a CPU with 40 PCIe lanes that is NOT $600.00 US dollars. Plus another $200+ for a 16x16x motherboard.

I can build an entire gaming PC for 600$ dollars.... probably less with monitor, keyboard, mouse etc.... and a game...

 

Why do you think PCI-E lanes are so important for gaming?
Did you every try to benchmark 16+16 vs. 8+8 with PCI-E 3.0 cards?
I would be surprised if the difference is distinctly higher than the random measurement noise and also high enough to justify even a 100 USD difference in prices (because those lanes might actually make those motherboards more expensive to manufacture).

I didn't notice my solo 290X slowing down when I plugged in a 8x network card and this old CPU has PCI-E 2.0 only (3.0 is ~80% faster, so that should cover for any CrossFire overhead).

 

5GHZ @ 1.50v, auch..

I wonder what kind temps it has by load, that coretemp clearly shows it only by idle.


lol Probably not stable anyway, just to showoff it can "boot & run" at 5GHz.

 

and a celeron k ... and a pentium k

(btw i had lot of fun with my pentium aniversary, and it still work lol)

in fact the perfect thing would be a complete K line for us c1:

 

agree and even in xfire 16+4 (tested)

of course if you have 2 OC titan x... then maybe you will have bottleneck or stuttering with your pentium at 4k... lol oups it's due to CPU only and maybe i am joking about some lol

 

If real, I would expect it to actually be stable at those clocks since intell did boast that their new 14nm++ has a larger pictch, which in theory should allow a quit a bit higher clocks do trough less heat issues.

 

I noticed stuttering when trying to do 4k res in 8x 8x, also gaming in ultra and 4k and using 3-6x24 monitors 16x16x is a HUGE difference compared to 8x8x.

My Monitor Setup...

 

Well, 4k needs 4 times the bandwidth (compared to 2k) and AMD dropped the dedicated bridge instead of widening it like nVidia, so I guess I can believe that.
Although, I would not be surprised if this is just yet another multi-GPU anomaly and the high bandwidth requirement is more of bug (something about the sub-optimal handling of this communication).

 

There is no big diffrence between 16/16 and 8/8 in most cases. I checked it back when i had dual 780's and i gained maybe 2-3fps more on 16/16 config on an X79 Mobo of a friend.

 

For what workload? Kaby will **** all over Zen when it comes to gaming.

 

Stability aside, its still 1.50v and that is a lot. I've read Skylake can degrade faster after 1.42v, so its better to stay bellow 1.40v..

 

Yay. Cant wait to change the whole pc for a 5% perf increase.

And can do 5ghz! Just like the 6 years old sandy. Probably not as stable as sandy.

 

@Ryrynz
maybe google to update your info.
a lot of recently released/upcoming games will perform better on 6-8 (or more) cores, so have fun with a quad core in 2016, when i had that from amd in 2008...

as long as game res is 1080/higher on single/maybe two cards, the single core performance of a cpu is almost getting irrelevant, so not really a gain for intel.

and im not shelling out 700+ to get a 6 core intel + MB, which is clearly a ripoff.

so unless zen is slower than my 3770k, by by intel..

 

Really interested in how these OC. If there as good as the rumours suggest I just hope I have enough money by in the new year to buy one and make it cold

 

Will we ever see a massive performance leap from Intel again? What is it now, 7 years of incremental increases?

 

If there is competition for them, one would assume so.
