Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake review: Is the desktop CPU dead?
-
With identical performance to Skylake, Intel brings desktop performance to a standstill.
Or is it just pining for a lake in Oregon?

Not that the boost is great, but "identical" must mean something different in the writer's world. (For the heck of it, here's AnandTech's review: The Intel Core i7-7700K (91W) Review: The New Out-of-the-box Performance Champion[^]) I'm building a new system with it regardless since my i7-2600 based system is old and tired and the case has insufficient cooling. Still, it would have been nice to have a six [real] core option.

I could find no 6th generation 6 core CPUs. Going further back and I'll end up with a system barely faster than the one I have with even more compromises with the chipset. Plus, I really dislike Xeons for the desktop (I'm using one at work, albeit with Linux, and though it's 4th gen, it's slower than my home system.)

«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

ADM FX, and you have 8 cores... I have the 8370 and love it... The newer 9000 series is even better, they say...
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

The problem with this sort of benchmark is that it does not take into account improvements in the instruction set, e.g. AVX (2011), AVX2 (2013), AVX-512 (2016/7), etc. These instructions can significantly improve the execution speed of many programs. I stipulate that some programs would require a rewrite to take full advantage.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

Previous 6th Generation has 6 core processor sku.
6+ cores are only offered by Intel in the high end workstation LGA2011 models (and their LGA1366/15xx predecessors), not the mainstream LGA115x sockets.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

The worse computer I ever owned was AMD based. I swore never again.
