Kaby Lake is Intel's codename for the upcoming 14 nanometer successor to the Skylake microarchitecture,[1] anticipated to enter volume production towards late-2016.[2]

Skylake was to be succeeded by the 10 nanometer Cannonlake, but it was announced on July 16, 2015, that Cannonlake has been delayed until the second half of 2017.[3][4]

Features

Kaby Lake will add native USB 3.1 (generation 2) support, whereas Skylake motherboards require a third-party add-on chip in order to provide USB 3.1 ports.[5] It will also feature a new graphics architecture to improve performance in 3D graphics and 4K video playback.[6]

Kaby Lake will add native HDCP 2.2 support.[7]

Kaby Lake will add full fixed function HEVC Main10/10-bit and VP9 10-bit hardware decoding.[8]

Architecture

  • 14 nm manufacturing process
  • LGA 1151 socket
  • 200 Series chipset (Union Point)
  • Thermal design power (TDP) up to 95 W (LGA 1151)
  • Support for both DDR3L SDRAM and DDR4 SDRAM in mainstream variants, using custom UniDIMM SO-DIMM form factor
  • Support for 16 PCI Express 3.0 lanes from CPU, 24 PCI Express 3.0 lanes from PCH (LGA 1151)
  • Support for Thunderbolt 3
  • 64 to 128 MB L4 eDRAM cache on certain SKUs
  • Up to four cores as the default mainstream configuration
  • Support for Intel Optane Technology
  • Full fixed function HEVC Main10/10-bit decoding acceleration & VP9 10-bit decoding acceleration.

Compatibility

On January 15, 2016, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 would be the only supported Windows platform for Kaby Lake processors.[9]
