intel processor identification utility i7 7700k

I'm curious why your red dead redemption benchmark results differ significantly from gamers nexus? In theirs even AMD zen3 parts couldn't handle 10600k in this game, and older zen and zen+ parts are at the bottom of the chart. Just upgraded from 7700k to 5900x.paid more than double for the amd.than the 7700k in late 2017(after 8700k launch)

i have been using my laptop g7, for the last 2yrs. Looking at used prices on flebay 200+, makes me think i might sell my 7700k that i haven't used in 2yrs and put that towards a new AMD 5900x system. Oh, and I'm planning to just use an Intel stock cooler if I can't get the Noctua cooler I wanted.ħ700k 5ghz OC is actually still very good when your are only taking gaming performance into account. Meanwhile, here I am, I wanted a Ryzen 7 5700, but me being on a budget left me with a Core i7 7700 (not 7700K), however, I at least managed to save quite a bit of money, because when others upgrade to newer hardware, some of them sell off their old hardware, allowing me to save some money. At the time I found the series to be laughable. It's why upgrading from say a 4th gen i7 just didn't make any sense until the 8th gens came around.

You would be crazy to spend a lot of money on anything older then the 7th gen anyway but this generation just stands out to me as a dud. Like as in worst generation of the core series to date The gains from the 6th gen are nearly non-existent while retaining the same core counts. I believe the 7th gen CPUs as a whole are kind of loss.

For those that missed it, here is the 'The Worst CPU & GPU Purchases of 2017' video that the title refers to:
