Windows 10: Intel I5-7600k and Windows 11

My computer passes the PC Health Check app for everything except for my processor. The processor in my computer is an Intel I5-7600k @ 3.8Ghz. This is not that old of a processor. Why would it not be supported by Windows 11 and is there a plug in replacement that is?

i5 7600K with a H270 motherboard?

There is a i5 7600k on sale in my store right now. Im going to buy it, but I dont know which motherboard to choose. I have 2 choices. MSI H270M Mortar Arctic (mATX) and MSI Z270 PC Mate (ATX). I really want the H270M, but the problem is that it cant overclock my CPU. Is it stupid of me to buy a i5 7600k CPU with a motherboard that does not support overclocking?

 

Intel Core i5-7600K Tested, Negligible IPC Gains

Ahead of its launch, a Core i5-7600K processor (not ES) made its way to Chinese tech publication PCOnline, who wasted no time in putting it through their test-bench, taking advantage of the next-gen CPU support BIOS updates put out by several socket LGA1151 motherboard manufacturers. Based on the 14 nm "Kaby Lake" silicon, the i5-7600K succeeds the current i5-6600K, and could be positioned around the $250 price-point in Intel's product-stack. The quad-core chip features clock speeds of 3.80 GHz, with 4.20 GHz max Turbo Boost frequency, and 6 MB of L3 cache. Like all its predecessors, it lacks HyperThreading.

In its review of the Core i5-7600K, PCOnline found that the chip is about 9-10% faster than the i5-6600K, but that's mostly only due to its higher clock speeds out of the box (3.80/4.20 GHz vs. 3.50/3.90 GHz of the i5-6600K). Clock-for-clock, the i5-7600K is just about 1% faster, indicating that the "Kaby Lake" architecture offers only negligible IPC (instructions per clock) performance gains over the "Skylake" architecture. The power-draw of the CPU appears to be about the same as the i5-6600K, so there appear to be certain fab process-level improvements, given the higher clock speeds the chip is having to sustain, without a proportionate increase in power-draw. Most of the innovation appears to be centered on the integrated graphics, which is slightly faster, and has certain new features.
