Of particular note, the DRM means 4K Netflix streaming can only work via the integrated video ports. The 4K Netflix support also features DRM, like it or not-we should place wagers on how long it will be before someone cracks this DRM. Does that matter to desktop users? Probably not, since they'll be plugged in and most likely running a dedicated graphics card.
Intel claims that laptops with Kaby Lake will get up to 9.5 hours of battery life while decoding 4K video, which is an excellent result. I'll get to those in a moment, but let's start with a short discussion of the video/graphics/multimedia performance.įirst, 4K streaming when you're using the HD Graphics 630 works really well-and CPU utilization is very low with Netflix 4K as an example. CPU and gaming performance with a dedicated graphics card is the same as before, but here I'm highlighting just the i7-7700K in the charts, with both overclocked and stock clocked performance. This is the shorter executive summary of the i7-7700K, focusing on a single product rather than the entire Kaby Lake lineup. I've already discussed all of these aspects of Kaby Lake, but never rendered a final verdict.
