The Intel Core i7-7700K (91W) Review: The New Out-of-the-box Performance Champion
by Ian Cutress on January 3, 2017 12:02 PM ESTAlien: Isolation
If first person survival mixed with horror is your sort of thing, then Alien: Isolation, based off of the Alien franchise, should be an interesting title. Developed by The Creative Assembly and released in October 2014, Alien: Isolation has won numerous awards from Game Of The Year to several top 10s/25s and Best Horror titles, ratcheting up over a million sales by February 2015. Alien: Isolation uses a custom built engine which includes dynamic sound effects and should be fully multi-core enabled.
In al of our testing, aside from a couple of scores falling at the bottom depending on the CPU/GPU combo, all the CPUs perform similarly.

I meant to say "tweaking" not tasking.dgingeri - Thursday, January 26, 2017 - link
So, what happened to the article "Calculating Generational IPC Changes from Sandy Bridge to Kaby Lake"? I'd really like to see that. I know that upgrading from my 4790k (at 4.8GHz) is not going to be cost effective, but I'd like to see at which point it becomes cost effective.Curley - Sunday, January 29, 2017 - link
I still haven't seen a significant performance improvement over my Core i7 990 Extreme @ 4.4GHZ to warrant an upgrade. Yes my neighbor's Core i7 4790K starts faster but the 990x still meets or beats it in most benchmarks and games.maincpa77 - Friday, May 12, 2017 - link
The best line is the first line: "The Intel Core i7-7700K is what happens when a chip company stops trying and get GTA 5 hack on http://gta5hack2017.com
