Manufacturers parent boards have long hinted that the release of Intel processors generation Kaby Lake will not entail a mandatory change of the platform, and the new processors can be operated in existing motherboards with socket LGA 1151 chipsets based on cell series. At the end of last quarter, Core i7-7700K processor with a frequency of 4.2 GHz, managed to light up in Geekbench test results in Gigabyte motherboard. Although processors Kaby Lake unofficially called "Skylake Refresh", and released they will be at the previous 14-nm technology, familiar with the test results Core i7-6700K in Geekbench sources say that in the case of the Core i7-7700K can talk about the speed of growth 42% in the "single-threaded" portion of the test and 20% in the "threading". We add that both processors can operate at the same frequency - 4.2 GHz, so that the difference in speed should be determined primarily to architectural improvements.
