The core i7 7700k reaches 6.7 ghz with nitrogen and 5.1 ghz with air

The new Intel Kaby Lake processors promise to offer a manufacturing process at 14 nm much more optimized and refined than the current Skylake, a proof of this is that the new top of the range, the Core i7 7700K has shown an excellent overclocking potential that it carried time without seeing each other.

Intel Core i7 7700K reaches 6.7 GHz

The new Intel Core i7 7700K processor has been clocked at 6.7 GHz alongside an ASRock Z170M OC Formula 100 series motherboard and the inseparable companion of the most extreme overclock, Liquid Nitrogen. For this the CPU multiplier has been set to x67 while the bus has not been touched. In addition, the new flagship Intel processor has gone through the most traditional cooling under air to reach a maximum frequency of 5.1 GHz, not bad if we consider that it reaches base and turbo speeds of 4.2 GHz and 4.5 GHz respectively. For the air test, a voltage of 1, 504v has been used, a value that seems clearly very high and not recommended for normal use.

The Core i7 7700K is built with Intel's advanced 14nm + process that has reached maturity to enable more efficient chips than previous generations. The processor features are rounded off with 8MB of L3 cache and a 91W TDP. It is expected to reach the market for an approximate price of 370 dollars, in the Spanish market it is very likely that at its launch it will touch the barrier of 400 euros. Intel will also launch the more modest Core i5 7600K for around $ 250, making it more affordable for the bulk of mortals.
