Basic info about the Intel Kaby Lake core

Kaby Lake (KBL) is Intel's successor to Skylake, an enhanced 14 nm process microarchitecture for mainstream desktops and mobile devices. Kaby Lake is the first "Optimization" released as part of Intel's PAO model. The microarchitecture was developed by Intel's R&D center in Haifa, Israel. Cannon Lake was originally set to replace Skylake as the next microarchitecture using a 10 nm process, however Intel later revised their roadmap to include Kaby Lake (with Cannon Lake being pushed back to 2018).

For desktop and mobile, Kaby Lake is branded as 7th Generation Intel Core i3, Core i5. and Core i7 processors. For workstation class processors, Intel branded it as Xeon E3 v6. There are no Kaby Lake-based server microprocessors.
