More Details Intel 7th Generation Core Kaby Lake and 200-series Chipset

This looks more like a capability update than a speed bump.
Personally I don't think that it's a bad thing.
I guess that the speed bump will come with Cannonlake in 2017.

Also... let's see what Zen brings during 2016. It might get interesting!

 

Interesting CPUs will be ZEN 2016, Cannonlake 2017. Not too interested in Kaby Lake personally.

 

I didn't like the "Enthusiast quad core" part... I hope that Zen kicks ass at reasonable price. I don't have plans to upgrade to another quad core any more.

 

Doesnt look very exciting, was thinking i may upgrade next year but at this rate i would be better off waiting for Cannonlake in 2017( touch wood my trusty soon to be 6 years old x58 lasts that long )

 

Likewise, although Cannonlake won't be going up again Zen in 2017. It will be going up again Zen+, which is a further 10 percent faster than Zen.

 

Just what I thought, doesn't look like much. Looks more like what Skylake probably should have had.

Not even convinced Canonlake is going to be anything special either, its just a die shrink of Skylake. Perhaps we'll see more native USB 3.1 and PCI Express 4.0 alongside the usual 5% IPC

Now, how do I clock a thumbnail and will this make my computer run faster?

 

"Kaby Lake will add native USB 3.1 support, whereas Skylake motherboards require a 3rd-party add-on chip in order to provide USB 3.1 ports."

where did you get this information?
other sites say that kaby lake will only support usb 3.0.

The "other sites" you mention are wrong.

 

not really interesting..still waiting the next Haswell-E (maybe Canonlake-E) with next X99 (any one know what series chipset?):infinity:

 

It's pretty sad if the most exciting thing about Kaby Lake is USB 3.1 support. This is especially true since it can be provided by a third party on existing boards, and that it's actually a function of the chipset, not the CPU. So, you could have native USB 3.1 support on Skylake if you run a series 200 motherboard (in the future) and a Skylake CPU.

Kaby Lake is only a stopgap CPU anyway. Lack of competition would probably play part of a role, but the main reason is that Intel are apparently having issues with the 10 nm node. Not sure how much gain there will be going from 14 nm to 10 nm anyway, it probably won't be on cost if the yields are low. Poor overclocking too? If they don't perfect it.

 

Well... GPU, transcoding and memory support improvements are also important. It's not all "only USB 3.1 support is added, what a let down".
