sounds like possibly hyper threaded i5 with less cache then the i7 and a higher clocked i7 with higher tdp. seems like amd is making intel put up.
Still quad core cpus, definitely not pushed too much yet.
More of the same exact thing with different model numbers!
Why am I not surprised?
Oh, because that is all they ever do.
"According to their publication, Intel is working on a new processor, slightly overclocked version of i7 7700K, which should be considered as Intel’s response to Ryzen. The new part would factory-clocked at 4300 MHz (100 MHz above i7 7700K), with higher TDP at 100W (vs 91W on 7700K)"

What a joke. 100mhz faster, and is probably $50 more expensive, and fools are just gonna eat it up.
From tick tock tock to tick tac toe? I'm confused Intel.
Well these are of course all rumors.
I could imagin that they would bring out a i7-7740K with better tim.
But a hyperthreaded i5 sounds very unlikely to me.
That's a conservative estimate ;)
Sad, but very true :/
So Intel is releasing this weak excuse for an upgrade "Kaby Lake-X" on a new architecture LGA 2066 when they just released Kaby Lake (LGA 1151) the beginning of this year... and they call themselves supposedly trying to compete w/ AMD's Ryzen lineup. Wtf, smh. Intel is gonna have a rude awakening when AMD takes em to the cleaners.
