Key Features
The Intel Core i7-7740X is a quad-core, eight-thread processor from the Core X-Series, designed for the LGA 2066 socket and X299 chipset. It features a high base clock speed of 4.3GHz and supports Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 for speeds up to 4.5GHz. It offers good performance in lightly threaded applications but is limited to dual-channel memory and 16 PCIe lanes, which restricts the full potential of the X299 platform compared to higher-end Skylake-X CPUs.
