Intel Core i7-7700 3.6GHz (Kaby Lake) Socket LGA1151 Process

Product information: Core i7-7700 3.6GHz (Kaby Lake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail Intels 7th Generation of processors bears the name Kaby Lake and makes use of newly optimised manufacturing processes when compared to the previous generations Skylake range. The new 14 nm plus process enables higher clock frequencies at a lower voltage and this made it possible to increase the efficiency yet again. The consistency of the microarchitecture allowed the performance of the Kaby Lake series of CPUs to be pushed even further. An Overview of the Intel Core i7-7700: Quad Core Processor (8 Threads with HT) Base- and Boost Clock of 3,6 / 4,2 GHz 8 Megabyte L3 Cache & Turbo Boost 2.0 Low TDP von 65 Watt Support for DDR4-2.400 (Dual Channel) Integrated HD Graphics 630 GPU AVX2 Instruction Set Extension (Advanced Vector Extensions) AES Encryption (Advanced Encryption Standards) Compatible with 100- and 200- series Intel chipsets The Intel Core i7-7700: Kaby Lake and its Advantages Compared to its Predecessors The Intel Core i7-7700 offers a clock frequency of 3,6 GHz, which can be overclocked up to 4,2 GHz via GPU Boost 2.0 when needed. The Thermal Design Power (TDP) is 65 Watts and therefore on the same level as Skylake. As a Core i7 this quad-core processor comes with Intels Hyper-Threading technology, thereby enabling not just four, but eight threads to be run simultaneously. Besides the increased clock frequencies and the reduced TDP in comparison to Skylake, Kaby Lake processors also come with Speed Shift 2.0. Speed Shift was introduced with Skylake and is a feature that allows the CPU to have more control over the clock frequency. This allows processors to react more quickly to requests for additional performance and minimises delays as a consequence. Speed Shift 1.0 reduces the space of time required to reach maximum clock frequencies, reducing it from about 100 milliseconds to roughly 30 milliseconds. Speed Shift 2.0 on the other hand allows this period of...
