While it might not be interesting for an average consumer, Intel's upcoming 7th generation Core Kaby Lake CPU series might be quite popular with overclockers as it is much better overclocker than Skylake and manages to hit a stable 7GHz overclock.

Spotted first by OCLab.ru, the Core i7-7700K sample was overclocked by Allen "Splave" Golibersuch, who managed to hit a rather impressive 7022.96MHz, with base clock multiplier set at 69x, base clock of 101.78 and Vcore voltage set at 2.0V.

While some might argue that two of the four CPU cores and Hyper-Threading were disabled, bear in mind that it is all about overclocking here and not just plain performance.

We will see a lot more 7Ghz stuff, waiting on Asus to release LHe numbers on Jan 3rd.

I will post my 7Ghz stuff on the 3rd as well.

Wasn't Skylake getting close to 7 GHz already?:

Unrelated, but it's great to see you here after all these years, XS seems like a ghost town now, sadly =[
