The Intel Core i5-7600K (91W) Review: The More Amenable Mainstream Performer
by Ian Cutress on January 3, 2017 12:01 PM ESTTotal War: Attila
The Total War franchise moves on to Attila, another The Creative Assembly development, and is a stand-alone strategy title set in 395AD where the main story line lets the gamer take control of the leader of the Huns in order to conquer parts of the world. Graphically the game can render hundreds/thousands of units on screen at once, all with their individual actions and can put some of the big cards to task.
For low-end graphics, we test at 720p with performance settings, recording the average frame rate. With mid and high range graphics, we test at 1080p with the quality setting. In both circumstances, unlimited video memory is enabled and the in-game scripted benchmark is used.

I remember that when Windows XP came out, more than 15 years ago, eveybody was crying out loud (some hysterically) that Windows 98 is waaay better and they will never upgrade to XP.But enough about operating systems, that discussion is irrelevant. I'm more interested in learning about the things (voices?) that YOU HEAR and record :)

Maybe I went over the article too fast, is there something specific about this chip to windows 10?nico_mach - Tuesday, January 3, 2017 - link
Speedstep is unique to Windows 10.Bullwinkle J Moose - Tuesday, January 3, 2017 - link
probably not but do any of the motherboards support IDE ?Does the chip itself have XP drivers?
Probably not
Waste of money

if you don't like windows you can use linux.With XP you're not getting the most recent versions of directx anyway so you're probably not gaming on it, so what's the reason for sticking to windows?

Loss of $500-1K from you is not a big deal for Intel or any other OEM.Outlander_04 - Tuesday, January 3, 2017 - link
Looks like intel are worried about Zen enough they have bumped up stock clocks .They have achieved that with out too much extra power consumption which is something I guess , but kaby lake is not a step forward

optimization is just that, why would we expect something more?
