Leaked Intel Kaby Lake desktop processors

The Intel LGA 1151 platform will shortly receive the new Intel Kaby Lake processors that correspond to the seventh generation Intel Core and come to replace the current and successful Skylake before Cannonlake's arrival at 10nm in 2017.

Int el Kaby Lake: meet desktop models in three families

Intel Kaby Lake processors are expected with an increase in CPU performance of between 5-10% approximately like the last generations since the arrival of Sandy Bridge. These new chips will maintain a maximum TDP of 95W and will continue to allow more traditional overclocking via BCLK, in addition to models with unlocked multipliers. The integrated GPU would receive a greater increase in power, since recently one of these processors has been shown running Overwatch at 4K resolution, although it was a laptop and we do not know if the desktop models will receive the same boost in this regard.

The benefits of Kaby Lake continue with the possibility of playing video at 5K and 30 FPS resolution and even 5K and 60 FPS with two screens. We also found hardware HEVC 10-bit and VP9 10-bit decoding and support for Thunderbolt gen3 technology.

Intel Kaby Lake "K" series

First of all we have the “K” models with unlocked multiplier for lovers of easier overclocking. The top of the range is the Core i7-7700K with a total of 4 cores and 8 threads at a maximum frequency of 4.5 GHz and a TDP of 95W. Below is the Core i5-7600K with 4 cores and 4 threads at a maximum frequency higher than 4 GHz and the same TDP of 95W.

Intel Kaby Lake "S" series

A step below we have the "S" models Core i7-7700, Core i5-7600, Core i5-7500 and Core i5-7400. All of them with the multiplier locked so they only allow overclocking by BCLK and surely at maximum levels lower than the "K" units. The maximum exponent is the Core i7-7700 with 4 cores and 8 threads at a base frequency of 3.6 GHz and a TDP of 65W.

Intel Kaby Lake "T" series

Finally we come to the "T" series which are the most energy efficient processors and are designed for desktop computers where you don't need the most power but low power consumption. All of them have a TDP of 35W which makes them very energy efficient so that heat generation will be minimal and they can be passively cooled without problems. The maximum exponent is the Core i7-7700T with 4 cores and 8 threads at a base frequency of 2.9 GHz and a TDP of 35W.
