Intel Kaby Lake to Replace Skylake next year

It looks like Intel is going to replace Skylake with "Kaby Lake" CPUs next year. It will use the same Intel 14nm manufacturing process and have a max TDP of 91W.

Right now it is unknown if the CPU will contain an all new architecture from Intel, but it will include a 256MB cache on package, which will help to speed up graphical workloads tremendously, as fast memory is essential for GPU workloads. These chips will be aimed at both the mobile and desktop markets and will be releasing at some point in 2016.

Kaby Lake will support Intel's LGA 1151 platform and will be compatible with Intel's Skylake's infrastructure using Intel's 100-series chipsets.

Right now it is unknown what this means for Intel's Cannonlake CPU architecture or Intel's 10nm process node, but if Intel plans on introducing new 14nm CPUs next year we expect Intel to delay or postpone their 10nm process.

You can join the discussion on Intel's Kaby lake CPUs on the OC3D Forums.
