Look at destiny 2? If its scaling like that, We should see the 8700k hit the 200fps limit where is the 7700k is at 170fps. Prefect for those that want the full FPS out of there flagship nvidia gpu.

Don't think I'll bother with coffeelake tbh, likely too small an upgrade over a 5820k to be worth the hassle.. So I'll wait and see what Icelake is like now, hopefully a decent improvement of at least 10-15% but I'm not going to bet on it.
I would go HEDT again but Skylake-x doesn't seem to be all that, even a small backstep in some ways.

SkylakeX requires 4000mhz+ ram to perform properly, and performance scales with ram on that one.
The gaming difference between 2133 and 4000 is 50% almost.
Proof? Would like to see some yt vid on this.

Not quite 50%, but Tom Clancy shows 36% improvement moving to 4000mhz ram over 2133mhz ram.
Obviously there'll be less of a performance improvement if you're gaming at ultrawide 3440 or 4k though.

from x99 platform wont be worth the upgrade but will be faster than ryzen.ram could just get faster ram for x99 platform.
Fallout 4 seems to show a reasonable improvement, but everything else is pretty much pointless.

For one game or so but what about on average?
this what we need reviewers to concentrate on instead of getting hard on's over core count all the time.
Also for what its worth I have always felt ram speed has had a bigger impact than most have realised.
I have already noticed my cheap £40 g4400 do certian tasks quicker than my haswell, even tho its a much weaker cpu it does use ddr4. On my main rig when ram utilisation is high things slow down due to the ram access been bottlenecked, and I have already seen in games that clocking up gddr5 makes more impact than clocking up core, so it would seem logical than normal ram yields similar improvements. My main motivation to upgrade my chipset right now is to get 3000+mhz ddr4 in my rig. But at these current ram prices its out of the question for me at the moment.
The test includes 7900X.

(Unfortunately vodafone controller has issues with imgur atm, and cannot post directly here the images. )
However, even normal Skylake CPUs like the 6700K had nice scaling with RAM speeds. Kabylake not so much though, nor the previous generations.

So as long as you aren't GPU limited, high ram speed worth. But at 4K res you need something like an overclocked TXp or SLI 1080Tis to show that difference.

There doesn't appear to be much by way of heatsinks on most of those Asrock boards. A lot of the Zen boards are the same - either no heatsink or an 'aesthetic' one with no proper surface area. I wish these companies would start producing plainer more functional boards. Spend the RGB and other wasted cash on proper heatsinks and better design and I'm in.

Intel have hiked prices so bad that the i7 is now in the old high end tier,
i5 is priced like the previous i7.
i3 is priced like i5..
Not fooling anyone with a brain Intel. There is no added value here..

Since the 2600K, the price to the 7700K has gone up from $317 to $350, it's probably keeping up with inflation, or slightly lower. As for the i5 the 2500K was $216, with the 7600K being $243, so a bigger % jump than the i7. As for the i3, yes that has gone up a lot all the way from $117 for the i3 2100, to the earth shattering $117 for the i3 7100

Really?
I paid 250gbp for my 4770k. Allowing for gbp slippage post brexit and inflation, I don't think 315gbp for a 7700k is too bad (ignoring the "it's only 4 core and you can get an 8 core Ryzen for less" argument for as minute).

Sitting on a 5930k @ 4.5 what feel's like since I started puberty, it's a 6 core which feels like old hat now a days, the 8700k will be a 6 core, will this be enough for gaming for the next 3/4 years like my 5930k has?
