Like come on, that's one well of an optioned title for an article that links to an article with a completely different title.
The very first sentence of the article is, "The Intel Core i7-7700K is what happens when a chip company stops trying."

Title: Intel Core i7-7700K Kaby Lake review: Is the desktop CPU dead?
Subtitle: With identical performance to Skylake, Intel brings desktop performance to a standstill.
*edit: while I'm not in any way sticking up for intel (I love RISC architecture personally) I do wonder if this cycle is just aligning technologies such as DDR4 / PCIe bus speeds, chipset smarts such as NVMe pass through to bypass the SCSI subsystem etc... more than it was outrun / be directly faster than the previous generation. I might be wrong (again no research done here!) but it wouldn't surprise me if it was a feature alignment cycle. IMO - what we need is ECC on the desktop i7 range, that would be a killer.
So what annoys me is not that Core i7 do not support ECC. What annoys me are markets where ECC does not exist at all, like ultra portable devices, and to a slightly lesser measure laptops (I've recently seen at least a workstation laptop featuring ECC, although the price was insane IIRC)
