Intel® Core™ i5-7600K

The Intel Core i5-7600K is a desktop processor with 4 cores and 4 threads, built on the Kaby Lake architecture (14 nm process). It launched in Jan 2017. Clocks run from 3.8 GHz base to 4.2 GHz boost. A 6-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.8 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 64 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1151 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 91 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Core i5-7600K scores 2,536 in single-core performance and 6,810 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 4,156 for overall performance, 7,977 for productivity performance, 8,310 for creator performance, 6,555 for engineering performance and 9,311 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,703 per core, 1,703 per thread and 75 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 436. Its performance index is 52, so its overall performance is 48% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i5-7600K scores 17,777 in integer math, 14,887 in floating-point math, 94,717 in compression, 2,046 in cryptography, 535 in physics simulation, 7,839 in vector SIMD, 32 in the prime sieve and 11,446 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 70% below in integer math, 68% below in floating-point math, 58% below in compression, 82% below in cryptography, 51% below in physics simulation, 49% below in vector SIMD, 52% below in the prime sieve and 49% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i5-7600K has 4 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boosts up to 4.20 GHz.

The Intel Core i5-7600K is a desktop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i5 family, uses the Kaby Lake architecture, carries the codename Kaby Lake and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It launched in Jan 2017.

The Intel Core i5-7600K has 256 KB of L1 cache, 1 MB of L2 cache and 6 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 7.3 MB of cache, or 1.81 MB per core. Each core has 256 KB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Core i5-7600K has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB, L2 at 1 MB and L3 at 6 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 83% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Core i5-7600K supports DDR4 memory, addresses up to 64 GB of memory, uses 2 memory channels and runs memory at up to 2,400 MT/s. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Core i5-7600K includes integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics 630) and clocks the graphics up to 1.15 GHz.

The Intel Core i5-7600K uses the FCLGA1151 socket, supports PCI Express 3.0 and provides up to 16 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Core i5-7600K has a rated TDP of 91 W.
