The Intel Core i5-7600K (91W) Review: The More Amenable Mainstream Performer
by Ian Cutress on January 3, 2017 12:01 PM ESTGRID Autosport
No graphics tests are complete without some input from Codemasters and the EGO engine, which means for this round of testing we point towards GRID: Autosport, the next iteration in the GRID and racing genre. As with our previous racing testing, each update to the engine aims to add in effects, reflections, detail and realism, with Codemasters making ‘authenticity’ a main focal point for this version.
GRID’s benchmark mode is very flexible, and as a result we created a test race using a shortened version of the Red Bull Ring with twelve cars doing two laps. The car is focus starts last and is quite fast, but usually finishes second or third. For low-end graphics we test at 1080p medium settings, whereas mid and high-end graphics get the full 1080p maximum. Both the average and minimum frame rates are recorded.

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?
