Although we haven't any older results to compare to, the Geek Bench score is enlightening as to how close the i5 gets to the big i7. Impressive from the little processor that could.

Wonderful review Tom, thanks very much!
A little more than a year ago I picked up the Skylake i5 with the promise of picking up the Kaby Lake i7 for my gaming rig to get back in the hyperthreading world. However this review and previous leaks and mention of an upcoming innovative design succeeding Tiger Lake changed my mind into waiting for that new design in 2020. Running at 4.6 with ease is fine for my gaming rig, even without hyperthreading.Quote

As always a great review Tom thank you very much for all your hardwork and of course everybody at OC3D 
I'm still on an i7-4770K and to be honest I really can't justify the upgrade even with everything it brings simply down to the cost involved. My current rig doesn't struggle running games at all so for now at least I will probably be skipping this generation and will possibly upgrade with the 8th generation chips.

Having a huge nerdgasm. My Mrs thinks Tom is my mancrush!Quote
Intel have shot themselves in the foot with Kaby when at best its offering 10% better performance but clock for clock there is practically no difference.
I see the same coming soon in the gfz arena and fully expect AMD to not only match nVidia but even beat them and Intel this year. it can only be a good year for the end userQuote
