Launch price in today's dollars

The Core i7 7700T launched at $303 in 2017. Adjusted with the U.S. Consumer Price Index, that is about $409 in 2026 dollars (7-month average), a 35% rise over 9 years. At its launch price that is 20 Blender points per $100.

Blender rendering score

Median score 62 (middle half of runs 58–63) across 5 community runs on Blender 4.x with the CPU backend. That is #234 of 290 desktop processors in our dataset with a score, and #11 of 15 in the Core i 7th gen.

This is a rendering benchmark (samples per minute over the monster, junkshop and classroom scenes), not a gaming benchmark. It says how fast the part renders in Blender's Cycles engine and nothing about frame rates. Source: Blender Open Data, CC0, snapshot 2026-09-06.
