My friend is considering an i7 7700 while I have an i5 6600k. I thought it might be worth checking what people say about their performance differences. Could you compare the two in terms of speed and usage? Thanks and have a great day!

Generally, the i7 performs well despite not having unlocked overclocking. For a more in-depth analysis, you can check the comparison here: https://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/502/In...-7700.html. This should provide useful insights.

If you're avoiding original content, the 7700 performs better. Even with an original build, it would run faster because most games benefit from more than four threads, and the i7's hyperthreading adds value. At regular prices, the 7700 excels in every aspect since its overall clock speeds are higher—though I know clock speed isn't a perfect measure, the main distinction between Skylake and Kaby Lake was clock speed, with IPC remaining nearly the same. You can look up single-thread performance for a clearer comparison.
