About Hardware Intel Core i7 7700K

The Intel Core i7-7700K, launched in early 2017, is a high-performance desktop processor from the 7th generation Kaby Lake family. Built on the 14nm process, the i7-7700K features 4 physical cores and 8 threads, thanks to Hyper-Threading Technology, and is targeted at enthusiasts, gamers, and power users. It operates at a base frequency of 4.2 GHz and can boost up to 4.5 GHz via Intel Turbo Boost, delivering excellent single-threaded performance one of the highest at the time of its release.

As part of Intel’s “K” series, the Core i7-7700K has an unlocked multiplier, making it ideal for overclocking on compatible Z-series motherboards. However, with a TDP of 91W, the processor demands an effective cooling solution, especially when overclocked beyond its stock speeds. Users typically pair this CPU with aftermarket air or liquid coolers to ensure thermal stability under heavy workloads or gaming sessions.

The processor includes Intel HD Graphics 630, which supports 4K output at 60Hz and is sufficient for basic tasks like web browsing, video playback, and office work. However, for serious gaming or GPU-accelerated workloads, a discrete graphics card is still necessary, especially when paired with a high-refresh-rate monitor or demanding software.

In terms of real-world performance, the i7-7700K remains capable even today for 1080p and 1440p gaming, general productivity, and creative tasks. It delivers solid frame rates in many modern titles when used with a modern GPU, and it handles applications like Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and coding environments reasonably well. However, due to its limited core count by today’s standards and lack of PCIe 4.0 support, it has started to show its age in multi-threaded and next-gen workloads.

Despite being surpassed by newer Intel and AMD CPUs with more cores and better efficiency, the i7-7700K still holds value in many mid-range desktop setups, especially for users who already own an LGA 1151 system and want to maximize performance without a full platform upgrade.

About Hardware MediaTek MT6762 Helio P22

The MediaTek Helio P22 (MT6762) is a 64-bit octa-core processor designed for entry-level and mid-range smartphones, offering an optimal combination of power efficiency and sufficient performance for daily activities. Built with 12nm FinFET fabrication technology, this chipset offers low power consumption and delivers stable performance for common needs such as browsing the web, using social media, streaming videos, and playing light games.

The processor carries 8 ARM Cortex-A53 cores that can run up to 2.0GHz, providing a fairly smooth multitasking experience and good application response time in its class. For graphics, the Helio P22 is equipped with a PowerVR GE8320 GPU, which supports HD+ displays (up to 1600x720 pixels) and performs well enough for casual gaming and standard multimedia playback.

In terms of connectivity, the Helio P22 supports 4G LTE with Dual 4G VoLTE, allowing users to use two active SIMs simultaneously with stable network speeds. The chipset also features lightweight AI thanks to MediaTek NeuroPilot support, which is used to speed up the facial recognition process, power consumption management, and camera quality improvement through AI-based scene detection. MediaTek Imagiq technology also enables the use of dual cameras (up to 13MP + 8MP), with bokeh, HDR, and noise reduction features.

The test was conducted using the Realme C2 device, which carries the Helio P22 chipset with a combination of 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage based on eMMC 5.1, as well as the Android 9 operating system with ColorOS 6 interface. With these specifications, the Realme C2 provides a realistic picture of Helio P22 performance on entry-level devices.

The benchmark test results show performance that is in line with its class. In AnTuTu Benchmark v10 (Mobile) - CPU, the Helio P22 scored 50,351 points, while in the AnTuTu v9 (Mobile) - CPU version, it scored 35,837 points. For in-depth processor performance testing, Geekbench 5 Multi-Core recorded a result of 609 points, showing that the chipset is still quite capable of handling light multitasking and daily use efficiently.

Overall, the MediaTek Helio P22 is an economical and efficient choice for users who want a device with good battery life, stable performance for everyday apps, and AI-based camera support. It is suitable for beginner smartphone users, students, or users who prioritize functionality and efficiency over heavy gaming performance.
