Intel · Core i7 · 2017 · LGA1151
The Intel Core i7-7700K is a desktop processor with 4 cores, released in 2017 at an MSRP of $339. It is part of the Core i7 lineup, using the 7th Gen platform, and fits the LGA1151 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Kaby Lake" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 8 threads for improved parallelism. The Core i7-7700K has a base clock of 4.2 GHz and can boost up to 4.5 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Kaby Lake" silicon on a 14nm process node. The multiplier is unlocked, making overclocking straightforward. This processor supports DDR4 memory. With a TDP of 91W, the Core i7-7700K sits in a typical power envelope for a modern desktop CPU. Integrated graphics are provided by the HD 630 solution, so a discrete GPU is not required for display output. The cache hierarchy consists of 32KB/core of L1, 1MB of L2, and 8MB of L3 cache.
