Yikes. There's almost no difference between the Core i7-6700K and the Core i7-7700K in these synthetic benchmarks of memory performance. What's surprising is that our motherboard's support for DDR4-3866 lets those chips move much more data around than Intel CPUs with DDR3-1866 hooked up. In fact, the Skylake and Kaby Lake CPUs paired with the Z270 platform are elbowing in on the results the Core i7-5960X [sic] posted in these same AIDA64 tests way back when. That's kind of scary performance from a dual-channel memory setup.
