- 7th Generation Intel Core Processors Kaby Lake
Finally the Intel Core i7 7700K has been through Geekbench to show its performance, it is the top-of-the-range processor of the new Intel Kaby Lake family that will arrive soon with the Intel 200 series motherboards.
Intel Core i7 7700K proves Intel has run on batteries
The Intel Core i7 7700K processor consists of a total of four cores at a frequency of 4.2 GHz / 4.5 GHz and with Hipertheading technology to handle up to a total of 8 data threads and thus improve its multi-thread performance. This new processor maintains a TDP of 95W and is capable of achieving a single-core score of 6, 131 points in Geekbench and a score of 20, 243 points in the multi-threaded test of the same test. These results represent an improvement of 40% in the single-thread test and 20% in the multi-thread test compared to the Core i7-6700K, which achieves scores of 4, 300 points and 16, 756 points.

A performance difference that was not expected at all since the latest generations of Intel processors have come with improvements of around 7% compared to the previous generation, if confirmed, it would mean breaking with a stagnation of several generations and returning to a trend of great performance gains to each generation.
Recall that AMD is also preparing its Summit Ridge processors that will arrive in early 2017 and promise a huge improvement over the current Excavator architecture, perhaps this is the cause of the sudden reaction of Intel that seems to have put the batteries in what to development of processors are concerned. Recall that Kaby Lake processors will be compatible with current Intel 100 series motherboards with a BIOS update.
