The Core i7‎-7700K 4.2 GHz Quad‎-Core LGA 1151 Processor from Intel has a base clock speed of 4.2 GHz and comes with features such as Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 and Intel Hyper‎-Threading technology‎.‎ With Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology‎,‎ the maximum turbo frequency this processor can achieve is 4.5 GHz‎.‎ Additionally‎,‎ this processor features 4 cores with 8 threads in an LGA 1151 socket and has 8MB of cache memory‎.‎ Having 4 cores allows the processor to run multiple programs simultaneously without slowing down the system‎,‎ while the 8 threads allow a basic ordered sequence of instructions to be passed through or processed by a single CPU core‎.‎ This processor also supports up to 64GB of DDR4‎-2400/2133 and DDR3L 1600/1333 RAM at 1.35V‎,‎ has AES New Instructions‎,‎ 14nm lithography‎,‎ and utilizes 7th Generation ‎(‎Kaby Lake‎)‎ technology‎.‎

Graphically‎,‎ the Core i7‎-7700K 4.2 GHz Quad‎-Core LGA 1151 Processor uses integrated Intel HD Graphics 630‎.‎ This processor is also unlocked‎,‎ meaning that it can be overclocked past its maximum turbo frequency‎.‎ However‎,‎ overclocking past the maximum turbo frequency is not recommended‎.‎ Not only will it cause the processor to run much hotter‎,‎ it will also void the limited 3‎-year warranty‎.‎
