Core i7-7700 CPU by Intel Review

Conclusions

Regarding to the benchmarks that use parallell processing, using all the available threads of the CPU (like CineBench, for example,) se see that the Core i7-7700, as well as the Core i7-7700K, is not on par to the Ryzen 7 1700, wich has 16 threads. So, for this kind of task, it is not the best choice.
On the other hand, if we see the performance on applications that use only a few threads, like the used video converters, we see that the lower clock rate of the Core i7-7700 makes it a little slower than the Core i7-7700K and even than the Core i5-7600K.
But when we talk about gaming, in most of our benchmarks the Core i7-7700 performed better than the Ryzen 7 1700 and similarly to the Core i7-7700K. So, if you are buiding a gaming computer, the Core i7-7700 offers great performance with good cost/benefit ratio.
