According to the latest news, Kaby Lake processor until the fourth quarter of this year will be large-scale production, and may the New Year's eve in 2017, or wait until early next year at CES 2017.

Skylake six generations of core released in 2015, however, this means that throughout 2016, Intel will not have a new platform.

For Kaby Lake, also don't hope too much, it's just an optimization on the basis of Skylake ascension, there will not be too obvious change on specifications, part models and even two generations together for a period of time.

Kaby Lake is still a dual core processor, the layout of the four core, with its new 200 series chipset, but it is worth to mention new luminescent spot is more PCI - E channel, as well as the support Optane nonvolatile storage technology.

200 series chipset will be compatible with support Skylake processor, motherboard slot interface as LGA1511, but I'm afraid few people will throw away their 100 series for this motherboard.

Other platform module is not too big change, wi-fi wireless module from the Snowfield Peak, Stone Peak upgraded to a Windstorm Peak, Sandy Peak, but I don't know what are the specific changes.

In addition, Thunderbolt lightning controller or Alpine Ridge, cable network card is still a lot.

Want to see the new Intel platform, had to wait till the end of 2017, the first 10 nm process Cannonlake will be late.

AMD to skip 10 nm and straight to 7 nm, but that's another story more distant.
