Does the i7 7700x exist?

Tokeegee · July 25, 2019

I was browsing Craigslist recently and found a listing for an i7 7700x, and there's actually a picture of it. I've never heard of this chip, and can't find it anywhere when I google it. Is this a real cpu? Is it an obscured K?

There's an i7-7740X, but no 7700X. Might be misprinted, might be a fake.

Though since it says 4.20 GHz on there, I imagine it could be a 7700K (as the 7740X has a 4.30 GHz clock)

Yeah, when I first saw it I said to myself "Is that the weird i7 that goes in the HEDT boards," but I found out that is the 7740x, like you said. After looking at it closer I'm leaning more on it being an obscured K.
