Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake review: Is the desktop CPU dead?

Thanks for the explanation. I can see it is understandable, but you see it's not obvious?

If I'm at a store and I see a i7-6700 and a i7-7300 which one is better? a i7-6735 or a i7-6720A? It doesn't make any sense for the general public.

Intel used to have one segment, then two segments: the Celeron and Pentium. Then it went for the Core 2, and then other lines

Especially today, that clock speeds are pretty much immaterial, they could take all those models and turn it into only a couple.

It's definitely non-intuitive without knowing the breakdown. If someone wants the skinny on a processor, I don't even bother explaining it unless they specifically want to know. I just link them to a benchmark and feature aggregator like cpuboss.

This comparison[0] shows how a 4th gen processor that has a higher over-all benchmark. It's still non-intuitive knowing the breakdown.
