Title: Kabylake-X i7-7740X overclockable to 5 Ghz on air
Post by: Redaktion on July 25, 2017, 03:35:30
The i7-7740X has top of the line single core performance, but lags behind six and eight core processors in multi-threaded workloads. Anandtech have managed to push their CPU to 5.0 GHz stable on all cores. This could indicate better binning than the i7-7700K, but a quad core is still on odd choice on the enthusiast X-series platform.

Even with the i7-7740X running at 200-400 GHz higher than the i7-7700K

WOW. 7740X@402-404Ghz!

Now that would be an impressive CPU, wouldn't it!

Thanks for spotting the error, the article has been amended to show "200 - 400 MHz."
