Notes
The Core i7-7700 features 4 cores and 8 threads with 65W TDP on Kaby Lake, boosting up to 4.2 GHz. This locked processor delivered solid gaming and productivity performance during the quad-core era. Despite having only 4 cores, hyperthreading provided adequate multi-threaded capabilities. While several generations old, it remains viable for basic gaming and office tasks. The efficient TDP works well with budget cooling. Often available at affordable pricing for entry-level systems and office workstations.
