With identical performance to Skylake, Intel brings desktop performance to a standstill. The Intel Core i7-7700K is what happens when a chip company stops trying. Update 04 Jan: are at least a few reasons why the Intel 'Kaby Lake' release is significant: The i7-7700K is the first desktop Intel chip in brave new post-"tick-tock" world-which means that instead of major improvements to architecture, process, and instructions per clock (IPC), we get slightly higher clock speeds and a way to decode DRM-laden 4K streaming video. My understanding is that the Kaby Lake 'H' series supports 32GB memory, thus making a MacBook Pro with 32GB of DR 23000 DRAM possible. The i7-7700K 4.2 GHz (turbo boost 4.5 GHz) shoudl be suitable for an iMac.The i7-7920HQ 3.1 GHz (turbo boost to 4.1 GHz, 4 real CPU cores) might be suitable for a MacBook Pro.But whether the power draw is viable on a laptop is unclear (meaning what we could expect from Apple, given the rationalizations seen with the Nov 2016 MacBook Pro). This perhaps is the “standstill” point-that’s only 5% faster than the 4.0 GHz iMac 5K that sits on my desk today-at the cost of a 95 watt TPD.Įven if CPU performance is stuck in 3rd gear for now, all is not lost. A choice of 4 to 18 CPU cores, or whatever the limit is currently.I bet that it would be a best-seller Mac Pro: In particular, Apple could go back to a real “pro” desktop by making it a big box again, with features like this. Support for three external 5K displays.12 Thunderbolt 3 ports, split across 3 busses.Stretch goal: 12 or 16 memory slots for up to 384GB.
