7 generation Core i5-7600K preemptive evaluation: Say no toothpaste to stand up to me!

[PConline evaluation] said that good time finally arrived late. According to the latest statement from Intel, Intel will formally release the 7th generation Kaby Lake desktop and the latest 200 series motherboards on January 5 next year. But omnipotent Taobao again headlines! At the beginning of this month, all seven families of Kaby Lake were released.

The 7th generation Core Duo is the last step in the 14nm process. Some people say that it is the ultimate 14nm body. Some people say that it is the era of toothpaste products. Everyone is rushing for a taste of sneaking and grabbing new processors. After the performance of the new processor can let it continue to maintain the degree of attention? So we also started a 7-core Core i5-7600K on Omnipotent Taobao, the following evaluation PConline will be announced in detail for everyone.

● What do you need to pay attention to when starting a new sneaky CPU?

1 motherboard BIOS, 7 generations of Core Duo Although the use of 6 generations of LGA 1151 interface, downward compatible with 100 series motherboard, but the premise you have to brush the latest BIOS to get support for the new CPU. It is now very close to the official release date of the new CPUs. Major motherboard makers have taken precautions to announce that their products are ready for new CPUs. MSI is the first motherboard manufacturer to announce that it has released new BIOS to support the new CPUs.

However, the 100 series of BIOS on MSI's official website in China still stays in the old version. To find a new BIOS, you have to go to the official website of Taiwan. Therefore, players who want to try new CPUs must keep an eye on their eyes. They must first find a good new BIOS to ensure that they can support them. Otherwise, they can't buy it.

The following Xiaobian went to Gigabyte China official website, found that the official website has released a new BIOS, so a small shake, BIOS hand. Quickly through the Q-Flash update the BIOS (there are many ways to update the BIOS, but Xiaobian is still more conservative like to use Q-Flash this).

In order to facilitate the white do not need to ask the girl, here to briefly explain how to update the BIOS, first prepare a FAT32 U disk, put the decompressed BIOS into the U disk root directory, press DEL to enter the motherboard BIOS interface, select the appropriate U disk, Read the new BIOS and wait patiently for a reboot! Others do not say, open CPUz to see if the BIOS brush is not good.

2 price! Currently on the TB there are seven generations of Core Duo business on this one, single city business! I will not advertise for it here. The reason is very simple! I didn't give me a discount because I bought it, and the tablets sold me more expensive than the boxed price. Well, this is the price of early adopters. This is the monopoly market.

If you buy new CPUs not to advertise yourself and increase awareness, but to be honest and self-employed, it is really not recommended that you buy the escaping ES version of the CPU. Routinely add: Exclude local tyrants.

PS: Intel, are you ready to spend a few million on January 5 next year to launch a conference for 7th generation Core Duo? I can't use it anymore. The merchants on TB have already released it for you.

● What optimizations are available for the 7th generation Kaby Lake?

This batch of 7 generations of Core Duo sneaking out are all ES versions. The natural view of CPU-Z can be seen at a glance. Although there is a branding of ES version, it has been limited to an official version, and there is no difference in performance. The previous combination has been exposed. The information, we can snoop from the 7th generation Core desktop version what updated.

●Although the process is still 14nm, but according to the official claim is a third generation 14nm process technology, and it is called 14nm +, that is, in the original basis of a deeper optimization, to strengthen the fin, transistor channel strain, According to Said that it can bring about a 12% increase in energy consumption ratio, which means that the same power consumption than Skylake performance, or power consumption under the same performance can be lower, with some minor upgrades.

● The most obvious is the frequency of optimization. This time, we are reminded of the Demon Canyon series that appeared two years ago, and other high-frequency killers. Take this generation of Core i5-7600K vs. the previous generation Core i5 6600K as an example. The basic frequency and the Turbo frequency have been greatly improved. The single-core maximum Turbo frequency reaches 4.2GHz, and the quad-core can simultaneously Turbo frequency to 4.0GHz.

● The core code "upgrade" HD 630 is displayed. Although the specific parameters cannot be seen with the latest GPU-Z 1.12.0, the 7th generation Core Core and the 6th generation are still Gen9. The editions are all part of the GT2 level, so don't expect too much from this generation of nuclear. If you want to improve the number, you may have improved the 4K video playback in the notebook mobile field, increased the H.265 Main.10, VP9 8/10-bit format hardware decoding and encoding, greatly reducing the performance of 4K video playback Consumption.

● Speed ​​Shift technology upgrade, this feature has been used in the last generation of Core Duo, to the 7th generation Core Speed ​​Shift technology upgrade, response time is shorter and faster. This is a kind of power management technology that bypasses the operating system and communicates directly with the power control unit by the CPU, which can complete the state switch in units of milliseconds. Finally improve the CPU's energy efficiency, in order to verify this point, this evaluation will join the same frequency comparison with the i5-6600K.

● Core i5-7600K main performance parameters analysis

By comparison, it is not difficult to find that the biggest improvement of the Core i5-7600K is that the TDP remains unchanged and the frequency remains higher. Other specifications remain basically the same. The nuclear comparison shows that the first generation of 14nm is still declining. There is no way, who makes the first generation. Belongs to the strongest and most special generation.

● Although it is ES version but the appearance has been infinitely close to the official version

Core i5-7600K uses LGA 1151 interface design, this ES version of the i5 does not have much obvious features, from the top cover of the lettering to see "Core i5-7600K" and a series of information that it is actually "official retail Version", if it is not to take CPU-Z to detect it really hard to find the properties of its ES version.

In addition, judging from the overflow of the cover of the CPU's top cover and the PCB substrate, the thermal grease will not leak. If you want to use brazing material, you have to use the flagship Extreme Core i7-6950K. .

● Evaluation platform and method description

This evaluation mainly from the CPU, GPU performance and power consumption in three aspects, in addition to adding 6600K CPU performance evaluation, also joined the same frequency (4.0GHz, turn off the Turbo frequency conversion) as a reference.

1, GPU performance test:

Although just as a GT2 level HD 630 nuclear display, for the previous generation of HD 530 GPU more serial numbers on the promotion, the overall performance of the same preservation, the following look at HD 630, HD 530 two nuclear performance comparison.

● GPU performance test project

Test summary: From the point of view of the GPU score of the new 3DMark test alone, the HD 530 performance is equal to the HD 630. After all, everyone is the same GPU, and at the same time belongs to the GT2 level of nuclear display. It is just an upgrade of the serial numbers. Standard vest material.

2, CPU performance test:

● CPU theory multi-threaded performance

● 3DMark series physical operation test

● Common software performance testing

● Professional software performance test

Test summary: simply comparing the CPU performance, i5-7600K compared with i5-6600K only a small increase in the core architecture unchanged, the overall performance is basically the same, more is the frequency of the difference reflects the level. So later we have added two generations of i5 frequency comparison.

●CPU game performance test

Test summary: Game testing is a relatively unexpected part. Thanks to the high frequency (4 cores at the same time Turbo to 4.0GHz) and most of the test games for multi-threading is not cold, etc., Core i5-7600K than i5-6600K The game's performance is dominant, and it is very close to the i7-6700K (4 cores are also only Turbo to 4.0GHz at the same time), and only the advantage of CPU multi-threading on the Singularity is evident.

3, platform power consumption comparison test

Test summary: The new generation i5 has 91W power consumption because both TDP and the previous generation, but if you carefully pay attention to the same full load, the default voltage of the Core i5-7600K will be higher than the Core i5-6600K. a little bit.

5, PConline evaluation room summary:

CPU ladder diagram

Performance: Yes, relying on a substantial increase in frequency, making the overall performance can be 9% and the previous generation to open the gap, but for the characteristics of the K series overclocking this gap is actually not a gap. And the same frequency performance is only 1%, this gap can not be felt in everyday use. The upgrade of Speed ​​Shift technology is also more like a gimmick.

The nuclear display is a vest...

Power consumption: It is also basically the same as the previous generation, and there is no difference.

On the price: because of stealing, so the "price" is higher, pending official listing, the price will fall back to the i5-6600K level, wait and see attitude is right!

If you are already upgrading to the 7th generation Core Duo using the 6th generation platform or the 4th and 5th generation platform and the pure running performance upgrade, PConline thinks that this is not necessary at all. The performance of the 7th generation Core platform is certainly improved, but it is More is a kind of promotion by high frequency.

In fact, Intel is also aware of this point, he used the PC platform five years ago as a reference on the public occasion to know his intentions. Compared to the platform five years ago, the new generation of Core Duo can only get 1.7 times of the application (it doesn't feel like toothpaste squeezed).

So how many years of your 3/4/5/6 generation Core Core?

Compared to the new generation of CPUs, the new 200 series motherboards are more worth looking forward to, backward compatible with 6 generations of Corelake Skylake, Z270 can provide 24 PCI-e channels, for those who take PCI-e channel NVMe SSD (similar to Intel 600P , Samsung 950) do not need to worry about the lack of motherboard channels, motherboards to further enhance the expansion performance, and the new motherboard also supports support for Intel Optane hybrid storage technology, ten USB 3.0, Thunderbolt 3 lightning interface.
