Kaby Lake X: Intel Core i7-7740X in Review

[Redaktion]

Intel's new Core i7-7740X for the socket 2066 proves to be the fastest CPU for gaming in the test. However, it is just a weak upgrade to Intel's Core i7-7700K that lags behind the Ryzen CPUs in multitasking due to its low core count.

Thanks for the review!

Hope nobody buys this overpriced crap, as no sane person would buy 7740X that is more expensive than 7700K, has identical performance, has no iGPU and has higher power consumption. Why the hell it was rolled out anyway?

Hey, is i7-7900X really the MOST powerful CPU?  :D ;)
