    7 is one more than 6.

    Six is afraid of seven and seven ate nine

    6th had a child so now it's slowing down…

    Mostly power consumption improvements. If you are on a laptop and that extra battery life is what your heart longs for, then it's worth the upgrade. But performance wise it's not that much of an improvement.

    Although the IPC seems pretty much the same, they have better higher base and boost clocks plus they're better overclockers - getting 5.0GHz on the 7700K is actually fairly normal!

    Also if you use the Intel HD graphics, they have received a performance boost.

    Essentially, a lot of small incremental changes instead of the huge boost we're used to.

    I assume you are talking about Intel. Mostly minor optimizations and more power efficient.

    @Synth-Synapses I actually don't remember the last time Intel CPUs had a big performance boost on a generational update...

    (Not trying to self promote) you should go read my latest rant. It's about how AMD is going to crush Intel in the next few years. @milkbytes
