Performance in lightly threaded applications, Higher overclock ceiling, Higher base memory frequency
X299 chipset, Disabled PCIe and memory features (X299), Price
The Core i7-7740X brings some of the best features of the Kaby Lake microarchitecture to the HEDT platform, but you lose the integrated GPU in the process. The restricted PCIe and memory features hamstring the X299 platform, but you still pay for feat...

Superb gaming performance thanks to fast clock speeds, Excellent overclocking capacity aided by strong X299 VRM solutions and a larger package, A solid option when all-out frequency is more important than core counts past four, Gives purchasers strong upg
Poor thermal performance, Power efficiency is lacking, especially in comparison to Ryzen or Broadwell-E, Multi-threaded performance leaves plenty to be desired on a ‘High-end Desktop' product, Poor value compared to the Core i7-7700K which offers an iGPU
There's no denying that Intel's Kaby Lake-X Core i7-7740X is an ultra-fast processor in lightly-threaded applications that can be overclocked to a dizzying 5GHz+ with ease. Gaming performance is superb thanks to the Kaby Lake-X processor's 4.5GHz operatin...
Di primo acchito l'idea di Intel di trapiantare Kaby Lake nella piattaforma desktop di fascia alta è senza dubbio interessante. Tuttavia in questo passaggio bisogna considerare l'elevato costo della piattaforma X299. Sotto molti aspetti il Core i7-7740X c...
The Core i7 7740X certainly behaves much better in stressed condition opposed to the Skylake-X 10 core parts. Still it remains to be a little high relative to energy efficiency and the temperatures, these can be challenging. Pretty cool though is the fact...

Kaby LakeX offers no apparent advantages over Kaby Lake and actually performs worse in every category
Slightly slower than Kaby Lake yet consumes considerably more power and costs more courtesy of the X299 motherboard
Power ConsumptionIf you thought Kaby Lake-X looked pretty ordinary so far, hold on to your thermal paste. For no added performance (in fact, less performance more often than not), the Kaby Lake-X CPUs consumed between 15 and 20% more power under load in o...

Competitive single and quad-core performance, Fantastic for gaming, Faster than Ryzen in tasks that only use 4-cores, Easy to overclock, Significantly cooler than the previous generation, Significantly less power-hungry than the previous generation, Compe
Ryzen offers fastest rendering/multitasking for around the same price in certain applications, No major performance improvements over the last generation, “With blazing fast quad-core performance, easy overclocking and low temperatures, the i7-7740X is th
PricingThe Intel Core i7-7740X LGA 2066 Skylake-X CPU is available now from most major retailers. It's currently on Amazon for £341.33. That price is about £10 more the 8-core Ryzen 1700X. However, when it comes to gaming, this fast quad-core does stay in...
Grundsätzlich zeigt Intel mit dem Core i7-7740X, dass leistungsfähige CPUs auch für den LGA-2066-Sockel möglich sind, die weder von einer hohen Leistungsaufnahme noch Temperaturproblemen geplagt sind.Allerdings handelt es sich letztlich um einen um ei...
The 7740X is a fun and relatively affordable CPU for the X299 platform. It will let you save for another year to buy Intel's 18 core behemoth, and then you can sell it to someone else who just saved enough for an X299 motherboard. However, most people don...
