Intel Kaby Lake to be discontinued in 2020
The Kaby Lake processors debuted in 2017 with the sole aim of competing with the first generation of AMD Ryzen desktop processors, which employed the Zen microarchitecture. While both rivals were reportedly on even ground (14nm process node), AMD it had increased the number of processor cores to eight while Intel was still confined to four cores. After a short two-year run, Intel has finally decided it's time to discontinue the Kaby Lake family to free up 14nm production space and focus on newer products.
