Intel Kaby Lake Desktop CPU Family Leaked - Flagship Core i7-7700K

Intel's 7th generation Kaby Lake desktop processor family has been leaked past Chinese sources, confirming the diverse SKUs of the lineup. Detailed on IDF'16, the Kaby Lake processors will feature an optimized compages that will be designed with the edifice blocks of Skylake that came earlier it. The Kaby Lake processors volition exist featured on multiple platforms but our focus today is on the mainstream desktop chips.

Along with the details for the lineup, Coolaler mentions that the desktop chips for the mainstream platform volition exist slightly delayed to early 2022. Right at present, Intel plans to bring out their mobility processors based on the Kaby Lake architecture equally soon as possible. Intel revealed at IDF that their mobile fries are already being shipped to OEMs. There main focus of 2022 is to bring every bit much Kaby Lake chips to mobile form factors (4W - 15W) during Fall 2022 before moving to the desktop side.

Coming to desktop itself, there will exist two different variants of the fries themselves. One would be designed for the HEDT market while the others will be designed for the mainstream marketplace. The HEDT lineup is known as Kaby Lake-10 and will be featured on the LGA 2066 along with the Skylake-X processors. The mainstream lineup which is internally known as Kaby Lake-Due south volition exist featured on the LGA 1151 socket. While this socket is the same as Skylake earlier it, the change it chipset (200-series) would not permit compatibility with older generation (100-series) motherboards.

The 7th Generation Intel Core Desktop Lineup:

Intel's G Series Kaby Lake CPUs:

So talking about the details, first up, we have 2 "G" serial models. These fries have an unlocked design that indicates that they are built for overclocking. The flagship is the Core i7-7700K features 4 cores, 8 threads and 95W TDP. This fleck has a base of operations clock of 4.2 GHz and heave clock of four.5 GHz while featuring 8 MB of L3 enshroud. The Core i5-7600K is a quad cadre fleck without multi-threading support that packs 6 MB of L3 cache and a 95W TDP. The chip features a base clock of 3.eight GHz and would turbo beyond iv GHz.

Intel'southward S Series Kaby Lake CPUs:

At that place are four standard models which include the Core i7-7700, Core i5-7600, Cadre i5-7500 and the Core i5-7400. The Core i7-7700 comes with a quad cadre (multi-threaded) design and a base of operations clock of 3.half dozen GHz. TDP on this model is set at 65W along with 8 MB of L3 enshroud. Residuum of the three Cadre i5 models are quad core variants without multi-threading support. Clock speed range from 3.5 GHz on the 7600, three.4 GHz on the 7500 and three.0 GHz on the 7400.

Intel's T Series Kaby Lake CPUs:

There are besides several "T" variants which ways low power. These variants have been designed for low-power desktop PCs. TDP on all of these models is prepare to 35W and include the Cadre i7-7700T, a multi-threaded quad cadre processors running at 2.9 GHz along with 8 MB of L3 cache. The Core i5-7600T comes with a base clock of 2.8 GHz, the Cadre i5-7500T comes with a base clock of ii.7 GHz and the Core i5-7400T comes with a base of operations clock of 2.four GHz. All Core i5 models accept 6 MB of L3 cache embedded inside them.

Here's What To Look From Kaby Lake Desktop Processors

Intel Kaby Lake processors in general would be getting increased cadre performance (wait the usual 5-ten% improvement) unless Intel plans to do something very dissimilar with Kaby Lake which seems highly unlikely. The processors volition retain the bones features such for enthusiasts such as enhanced full range BCLK overclocking and 95W "Unlocked" options to choose from.

While Intel has increased the core count on their enthusiast scrap platform (Broadwell-E), things will remain the same on their mainstream platform with both dual and quad core (35W and 65W options) available to consumers forth with the enthusiast quad core options. Other primal features on the media and brandish side include 5K (30Hz) on 1 display and 5K (60Hz) dual display capabilities, HEVC 10-chip hardware decode, VP9 10-bit (hardware), UDH/4K display resolutions and support for Intel'south Thunderbolt gen3 support.

The Intel 200-Series PCH is a crucial update for the upcoming family of processors equally it volition let support for them. The Intel 200-serial PCH will include several SKUs such equally Z270, H270, Q270, Q250 and B250. While the new chipset doesn't include whatever major changes over the Skylake PCH, it does include back up for Intel Optane technology which utilizes Intel's 3D XPoint retentivity to deliver high-performance SSDs and memory solutions.

The KBL-PCH will exist able to support Mansion Beach (Optane SSD PCIe/NVMe Gen3 x4), Brighton Beach (Optane SSD PCIe/NVMe Gen3 x4) and Stony Beach (Optane Memory PCIe/NVMe Gen iii x2 (m.2)) solutions. Nosotros covered this topic in more detail over here.
