Intel Kaby Lake announced that the Core 7th generation ,

Skylake Intel get a mid-generation refresh in the form of the new Kaby Lake CPUs, today launches under the brand "7-generation Core". In short, Kaby Lake is a recasting of 14nm Skylake with some efficiency improvements and discarded power. It is the chip that bridges the gap until the 10nm Cannonlake that Intel has penciled 2017.

Kaby Lake also opens the door for Apple to finally upgrade its MacBook Pro computers (possibly even the air) after the Cupertino company has chosen to ignore the Skylake architecture altogether with these models. Microsoft Surface Book has suffered a number of power management issues for Skylake, and other PC makers also had to issue a large number of aberrantly firmware updates and drivers for their Skylake machines. Abstinence Apple these chips may have been motivated by these same challenges that Intel will surely have priority to fix with its new generation.

experiences with Kaby Lake, Intel focuses rather than hard specifications. Be a second "tock" in tick-tock strategy of Intel, Kaby Lake is not really differentiated from its predecessor with power improvements or pure endurance, if Intel is focused on the kind of things its new processors let people. Topping the list is the video: multiple streams of 4K content, videos to 360 degrees, and applications of virtual and augmented reality. Intel wants to be part of delivering those to more people and functionality as Windows Hello, the face of the connection identification, which is supported on several models of laptops now.

There are still some measurable benefits to Kaby Lake, however, and those starting with efficiency. Intel says its 7th generation core chips are 10 times more effective - in terms of performance per watt - the first generation, while the family-gen 6 were only 8 times better. Also improved is the performance of web, 19 percent in Intel benchmarks and productivity applications, showing 12 percent faster. These are all the best scenarios for Intel, and in the real world the difference Kaby Lake is unlikely to be as tangible.

There will be a sub-notebook 10mm thick this year, according to Intel

new announcements Intel processors are always a good opportunity to look ahead to products without notice, and one of the promises that the chipmaker is offering clamshells (aka notebook) "thinner than 10 mm." This is even lower than the scarcely believable HP Spectre 13. With more than 100 new models of all different PC manufacturers already in the pipeline for this year, Intel Kaby Lake will be found in many, if not most, of PCs sold this holiday season. Intel says OEMs should start shipping Kaby Lake-powered systems since the beginning of September and quickly rise from there.
