Intel is gearing up for the arrival of the Kaby Lake processors arriving to succeed Skylake and being manufactured using the same 14nm Tri-Gate process. Kaby Lake will arrive at the end of the year and there is already talk of its successor, Intel Coffee Lake that will give a new twist at 14 nm in 2018.

Intel Coffee Lake will bring to life the first eight-core processor laptops

Intel Coffee Lake will be the latest generation of Intel processors manufactured at the 14nm Tri-Gate node that opened with Broadwell. Cannonlake will arrive in mid-2017 with a much more advanced 10nm Tri-Gate to reach a level of energy efficiency never seen before. Later in 2018 Intel Coffee Lake will arrive at 14 nm to offer more powerful chips than the Cannonlake.

The first Intel Coffee Lake processors will be U-class models with up to four cores for laptops with TDP levels between 15W and 28W and then we will have HQ-class with a maximum of 6 cores and TDP ranges between 35W and 45W to allow computers with much higher performance than the previous ones. These processors will coexist with the Cannonlakes that will be aimed at the lowest consumption equipment with TDPs between 4.5 and 15W, demonstrating the enormous energy efficiency achieved with Intel's 10 nm.

A little strange that once we launch the Cannonlake at 10nm we see the Coffee Lake made in 14nm and more powerful, perhaps it means that the 10nm Tri-Gate will not be fully mature to make complex and powerful processors.
