So does that mean that 100% - 99.8% = 0.2% of supported devices did not have a crash free experience. Therefore 0.2% * 152% = 0.3% of unsupported devices did not have a crash free experience?

99.8% crash free vs 99.7% crash free doesn’t sound like a good reason to not support 7th gen Intel i7, if I’m interpreting these stats correctly.

ariveron no, each processor is unique. In order to program a processor you need the instruction sets and other specs from the manufacturer that keeps in mind the registers, cache, instructions, pipelining and so on and so forth for each and every processor. This has not been done for the i7 7700k. Subsequently extensive testing and support is needed. When people use the i7 7700k now they are making the operating system think it is another processor and thus are not getting a best use of resources also certain machine language codes could cause a crash and instability.

You will not get a best use of cpu resources and it is not advisable nor advantageous, plus many features and functions will not be possible at all.
