So then what are we looking at here? How much IPC increase will Icelake have to offer?

If you're gaming on an absolutely CPU limited game, then get a 7700k OR a 5775c with faster memory 3200 - 3600 is the sweet spot you're looking at (for the 7700k). In cpu limited games, memory affects gaming performance more than you think. Check these tests that I made: Starcraft 2...

I thought the NDA ends today. Where are the reviews?

Yeah, also found out the source and it was for SysMark: https://twitter.com/intelnews/status/829773829471744000 So desktop Coffee Lake 8700k is essentially Kaby Lake 7700k, performance-wise, but with 50% more cores/threads, no?

Depends on how you define "little". The 7700k offers 10-15% improvement over a 4790k in games. If what Intel claims is true - that Coffee Lake has a 15% increase in IPC over Kaby and if it can clock to 4.5ghz+, then you'd be looking at a 20-25% increase in performance over a 4790k with 50% more...

I wonder what percent of those 7700ks can do both the CPU OC and Mem OC of 4ghz

Thanks for this, but it seems PCGH took down the Anno 2205 and Starcraft 2 LotV benchmarks. Those two games scale really well with clocks don't know why they took it down.

Can someone confirm the 7700k max turbo boost speeds on 4-core load? Is it 4.2ghz or 4.4ghz?

Wow that is a hihgly interesting and impressive piece of work. Thanks, looking forward to it! And since you now have a 1070, if you wouldn't mind, try adding Arkham Knight into the mix. That game is more CPU intensive than what most people think it was.

Kinda offtopic, but just want to add, if we're talking about games, IMO, Starcraft 2 would be the most revealing game if you want to test a CPU's single core gaming performance. Starcraft 2 should be in every single game-based CPU benchmarks. Not to mention since the game is absolutely CPU...

HUH?! Wait wait wait a minute... How is the 7600k 15%+ faster than than the 6700k at stock?

Yeah about that, is that how it really works? The 6700k can't handle streaming and gaming at 1080p at the same time? Seems hard to believe

Nice. Can you give some numbers? I'm really interested. I'm building a new PC soon and that'll give me good info. Thanks

Yeah, what's up with those thermals? Will the Z270 fix it?

Oh boy, Kaby Lake's about to drop! If it'll be available by then, I wonder how long it'll take for benchmarks/reviews to be released
