Intel officially began shipping out its Kaby Lake processors out to device makers this week, meaning we may see the 7th generation Intel Core CPUs popping up in PCs and laptops in a few months time. Intel confirmed that its Kaby Lake CPUs had begun going out to OEMs this week during the company's Q2 earnings call.
Kaby Lake is the first Intel CPU to break the ‘tick-tock' cycle, which was retired this year. Going forward, Intel will be using a three year cycle for its process technology to get the most out of each node going forward. Kaby Lake will be the third and 14nm chip, then in 2017, Intel will make the jump to 10nm with Canonlake, we will then be on 10nm technology until 2020.
Kaby Lake is a 95 watt TDP CPU and comes with native support for several technologies, including USB 3.1, HDCP 2.2 and Thunderbolt 3. This is an ‘optimization' CPU, so it builds on the technology introduced in Broadwell and Skylake, with that in mind, it is fair to speculate that Kaby Lake won't bring a huge leap in performance compared to last year's Skylake CPUs.
We have already heard that Microsoft is waiting on Kaby Lake to arrive before revamping its Surface tablet line in early 2017. We may see some Kaby Lake PCs pop-up before then in the later months of 2016 but we won't know for sure until some announcements are made.
KitGuru Says: Intel's final batch of 14nm processors are starting to make their way out to OEMs, so we might get a look at what Kaby Lake can do in a few months time. Are any of you waiting on new processors to launch before upgrading?
Intel’s 3rd swing at 14nm, which is a much better process then global foundries 14nm, or tsmc’s 16.
And we still don’t have Zen. AMD’s first swing at 14, using previously stated 14nm from Global.
Why do all the AMD fans think ZEN is going to be so amazing again? Cause they told you it would be cool? You mean just how they told you BULLDOZER and EXCAVATOR would be so boss right? They weren’t.
You intel haters need to give team blue-man-group a chance!
I know I know, they are an evil corporation who paid companies to not sell AMD chips sure sure…. But at least they are made in the USA… Do you know what goes on in those oversea factories where AMD chips are made? Plenty of mistreatment of employees! It doesn’t matter what corporation you buy from, you are buying from a corporation, and there is a lot of good and bad that comes with that.
KABY LAKE- I wish I needed it. Really though these days, so much of any fps gain in games is just gona come from GPU’s. And intel says they are going with a tick tock tack model, hah ya right… Only until scientific breakthroughs happen or don’t happen. The model will change as needed.
Either-
Major breakthrough in speed, or transistor density is achieved and we see rapid deployment of new processes.
or
we hit the wall around 5 or 7nm and we hit it hard… and we then suddenly have a tick tock tack tuck teck tyke!
Eventually to get more powerful processors and GPU’s we need to go LARGER in pc parts.
I personally look forward to the days when you need a huge tower again, to house humongous motherboards with oversized processors that heat up your entire home in winter =D
Come! Children! Let us sit around the PC stove so that we “the people of the future” may warm our cold bodies. Listen! Do you hear the gentle hum of the math tower? It sings of ancient maths that are old and forever at the same time. Feel to the side of the large chasis… the gentle vibrating of electricity buzzing away is both soothing and mysterious.

Im curious as to what would happen if they took the ridiculous number of transistors inside a 24-core xeon chip, and made it into one humongous single core. Would it be fast? Would it be shitty? What kind of frequencies would it run?
I’m also curious as to what kind of frequencies the Pentium 4 architecture would be at (what they said would scale up so high to 10ghz and beyond), if we remade the exact same chip on 14/10nm fab. I wonder if they could make it work in an old PGA 478 motherboard with DDR1 memory, and with the voltage the VRMs of those boards used to output, what kinds of overclocks would be reached.
Could be fun shit. If only.
Go fuckyourself, spambot.
