Core i5-7600K benchmarks and review published

China based PCOnline posted a complete review on the upcoming Intel Core i5-7600K. The processor does perform a notch better opposed to it's predecessor but brings very little changes and performance increases.

PC-Online shows that the processor is clocked at a base clock of 3.8 GHZ and that it can turbo towards 4.2 GHz with lower bins on the other cores utilization (4.2 and 4.0 GHz see table below). If you compare the clock frequency IPC perf then the results are very similar to Skylake yet the increased clock differences offer 6 to 11% more performance though. below a quick comparizon with the Core i5 6600K clock bin wise:

Processor	Core i5-6600K	Core i5-7600K
Base Clock freq    	3.5 GHz	3.8 GHz
Turbo with 1 core       3.9 GHz	4.2 GHz
Turbo with 2 cores	3.8 GHz	4.1 GHz
Turbo with 3 cores	3.7 GHz	4.1 GHz
Turbo with 4 cores	3.6 GHz	4.0 GHz

The Core i5-7600K is a 4 core chip without multi-threading support. This chip has 6MB of L3 cache and a 91W TDP. Base clock is 3.8GHz and is capable of boosting to 4.2 GHz. The Kaby Lake desktop processors will release early 2017 although the corresponding Z270 chipset motherboards might come out before that.

Some more data can be gathered from the leaked review, power consumption for example seems to have increased (albeit marginally) at roughly 3.5 Watts. The SKU has a 91 Watt TDP. According to PCOnline the Kaby lake processors will be available starting January 5th, at the start of CES 2017.

Jin meh....

Im waiting for more AMD Summit Ridge benches...

looks like the same incremental increase in performance ever since Sandy Bridge

 

[Krabs.]

good news for those who pair it with the X10 series motherboard with no overclock .... 10% higher base clock at 4 cores

Super Meh. Summit Ridge is the one to look out for. Probably will hit Broadwell or Skylake level of performance for much less.

More like ivy bridge standard

Not really...

If can even reach Sandy Bridge standard I will be shocked.

Wait till you realize Summit Ridge is named after what...

This is perhaps the smallest incremental improvement with what I read online with barely any IPC gains. So all the improvement in performance comes from the clock speed increase.
