The Intel i7 7740K and Intel i5 7640K processors would belong to the new family of Kaby Lake-X processors and not to the Kaby Lake family of processors, as was believed at first.
A few days ago we echoed the possible arrival of two new processors by Intel, the Core i7 7740K and the Core i5 7640K. The information pointed to two new Intel Kaby Lake without more, but it has been announced that they will belong to the Kaby Lake-X family, the range of Intel processors, but that they will have a structure like the Kaby Lake-S, come on, what they will be practically the same as the Core i7 7700K and Core i5 7600K
Something that has surprised with respect to the latest information regarding these new processors, is that they will have a TDP of 112W, which seems to be an authentic consumer sap and that they will not have integrated graphics. The graphics, in this processor, are integrated, but are disabled so that everything is processing power and the graphics do not consume resources and energy unnecessarily. What is not understandable is that with an extra 100MHz offered by this processor, with respect to the i7 7700K, it supposes such a beast elevation of the TDP, although it has already been seen that the temperatures of the i7 7700K are excessive due to a bad conductive paste of the temperature, installed between the silicon chip and the thermo-conductive covering that covers and protects it.
This new processor, based on Kaby Lake, renamed Kaby Lake-X, for Intel's range of extreme processors, requires a new motherboard, which will have the LGA2066 socket. They will not be the only processors in this new family, but they could be the worst in this family, due to consumption and temperature issues. It could also be that we talk about 100MHz more and without iGPU, but it happens to us that it could have more core or an important improvement, that these extreme processors support Quad Channel for DDR4 RAM and 2-Way configuration in graphics cards, both with PCIe communication 3.0 x16 (x16 / x16).
Logically it is compared with AMD Ryzen and with the supposed top-of-the-range processor SR7 1800X, which would have eight cores and sixteen processing threads, although there is a downside in this regard and that is that the processors that will come to compete with Ryzen are the Cannon Lake of 10nm. This year, without a doubt, it will be very, very fun.
