    Intel Kaby Lake Core i3, i5, i7 release date, price and specs

    Last year in Computex 2016, Intel confirmed in its keynote that they are going to launch the 7th Generation Core processor. While that was true for laptops but desktop models are not yet released. But Intel has revealed more details on Kaby Lake release date and specs, including Pentium chips for the first going to get Hyper-threading.

    What is Kaby Lake?

    The 7th-gen Core processors are based on the same 14nm process ask Skylake its predecessor. Intel will not make a move down to 10nm until 8th-gen Cannonlake CPUs, which are due for launch later this year.

    This disrupts Intel’s Tick-Tock roadmap since Kaby Lake should be a Tick – a new manufacturing process – but will instead be an ”optimized” version of Skylake (which is already an improved version of Broadwell).

    That’s now Intel’s plan for future no more wait; it’s now Proces-Architecture Optimisation. When we finally get “Cannonlake,” there will be more generations based on the 10nm manufacturing process. With Powerful Processor need of cooling, Case is necessary and these are Best Open-Air PC Cases. Intel Kaby Lake 7th gen Core processor release date

    Rumour has it, via Benchlife, that Intel will launch Kaby Lake X (and Skylake X) chips in August at Gamescom 2017. There will reportedly be 10-, 8 -, 6- and four core models. Kaby Lake X will supposedly be a quad-core chip and will have a TDP of 112W, and all chips will be marketed as the Core i7-7000 series processors.

    These chips will go hand-in-hand with the new ultra-high-end X299 chipset, which motherboard manufacturers could show off as early as May or June. However, Intel might try and keep the wraps on everything until its developer conference in San Francisco in August. Having a powerful processor is good but with Budget Wireless Routers you can improve the internet speed as well.

    Intel Core i7 Kaby Lake specs and prices

    Here are the main specs of the new desktop Core i7 chips. Just three have been announced so far. They are all quad-core with Hyper-Threading.

    Model Core i7-7700K Core i7-7700 Core i7-7700T
    Price £339 £309 £309

    Unlocked Yes No No
    Graphics Intel HD Graphics 630 Intel HD Graphics 630 Intel HD Graphics 630
    Smart Cache 8MB 8MB 8MB

    Four seventh-gen Core i5 models have been announced (see table below), plus a further three chips with a ”T” suffix which denotes they use less power – they all have a 35W TDP. As the table shows, they’re all quad-core parts, but with no Hyper-Threading.Intel Core i5 Kaby Lake specs and prices

    Model Core i5-7600K Core i5-7600 Core i5-7500 Core i5-7400

    These are the 35W ‘T’ models:

    Model Core i5-7600T Core i5-7500T Core i5-7400T
    Price £219 £199 £179

    Graphics Intel HD Graphics 630 Intel HD Graphics 630 Intel HD Graphics 630
    Smart Cache 6MB 6MB 6MB

    As with the Core i5 models, the Core i3 is also available as a ”T” model, which has a 35W TDP. The Core i3 chips have no boost capability, so rely on high base frequency. They’re dual-core chips with Hyper-Threading. Note that the flagship model is unlocked, so Intel is catering to enthusiasts who want to overclock a more affordable chip. Unlike the Pentium G3258 Anniversary Edition processor from 2014, the i3-7350K supports Hyper-Threading. Intel Core i3 Kaby Lake specs and prices

    Model Core i3-7350K Core i3-7320 Core i3-7300 Core i3-7100

    There are, of course, be a laptop and mobile versions of the Kaby Lake desktop chips for everything from ultraportables to all-in-one PCs.Overall, there is a similar lineup of Kaby Lake processors to Skylake, so you’ll have a choice of an entry-level Core i3, right up to a 10-core Extreme Edition Core i7 (this hasn’t launched yet). Prices are unlikely to vary much from the Skylake range, so there will be something to suit every budget.

    Intel Kaby Lake Pentium specs

    There are three new Pentium models, each also available in a low-power ‘T’ model. They support the new Kaby Lake features such as Intel Optane, 4K video and have DDR4 memory controllers. The big news is that they’re the first Pentiums to get Hyper-threading, so while they’re not true quad-core parts, they do get the performance advantage of being able to process four threads.

    Intel Kaby Lake 7th gen Core processor features

    Optane Memory

    So what’s new? Well, there’s the apparent performance improvement, but the new 200-series chipset supports Intel’s new Optane memory.

    Better overclocking

    Kaby Lake chips have a 300MHz base frequency boost over the equivalent Skylake chips but are also better for overclocking.

    Better graphics

    Intel Kaby Lake release date, price, specs

    Specific new U-series processors (which will appear in 2-in-1 laptop/tablet devices) have Iris Plus Graphics 640 GPUs integrated. Intel says this GPU is 65 percent faster than the equivalent Intel HD graphics system. It’s’s 40 percent faster for quick sync video and is also capable of 4K video playback.

    Backward compatible with 100-series chipsets

    Desktop Kaby Lake chips are consistent with the existing 100-series chipsets, so it’ll be an easy upgrade from Skylake, assuming manufacturers provide BIOS updates for the new chips.
