"I'm excited to tell you that two new products will be coming from Intel later this year: Apollo Lake for the value and entry-level PC, 2-in-1 and tablet, and the 7th Generation Core, formally codenamed Kaby Lake, will be coming later this year. We have over 400 designs coming to market on the Seventh Gen Core, and you can expect lots of innovations from our OEM partners bringing this product to market," said Intel's General Manager of Intel's Client Computing Group Navin Shenoy said during Intel's Computex 2016 keynote.

With the seventh-generation Kaby Lake chip series, Intel has broken its tick-tock cadence for the first time in the last decade, opting instead for the new "process, architecture, optimization" model. Kaby Lake--and the new low-power, entry-level Apollo Lake--will use the same 14nm process node as Skylake and Broadwell-E, but will feature significant microarchitecture tweaks and optimizations. Intel also announced Kaby Lake will natively support USB 3.1 and Thunderbolt 3, with higher-end chips maxing out at 95W TDP.

but will feature significant microarchitecture tweaks and optimizations.

what ? so ipc got increase small or big ?

 

[ykgoh]

Siao liao Intel counter attack come liao!

 

[bunnypangsai]

Kaby lake will succeed skylake right????

 

[muddle]

Kaby lake will succeed skylake right????

Yes. With 200 series chipset accompanying it.

last night b4 sleep then i realized what their "significant microarchitecture tweaks and optimizations. " meant .... maybe its the IGP not the cpu cores

 

[darkarn]

I wonder how fast will these end up inside laptops too...

 

[royfrosty]

So fast skylake wanna be obsolete ah lol.

 

[bunnypangsai]

Good leh. Then I can hoot skylake. Bohpi bohpi.

So fast skylake wanna be obsolete ah lol.

So fast skylake wanna be obsolete ah lol.

I won't call it obsolete until Intel comes up with something that brings a leap in performance. IGP performance is hardly useful from an enthusiasts' standpoint.

Skylake price drop can alr.
