Intel Kaby Lake to be Skylake successor next year says report

Intel inserts another 14nm processor in roadmap as it delays 10nm Cannon Lake.

Still waiting for Zen

Why do people still talk about tick-tock? The die shrinks are no longer pure die shrinks, there are configuration changes like adding graphics units and some micro architectural changes. Then the tocks come in, and you get a 3% performance increase that doesn't seem worth the bother. Then there is a delay, so some refresh parts get knocked out. At best it is "ti-ock (tock) click" which sounds more like someone needs a hip replacement than the regular clockwork schedule it is still put forward as.

Same.

Zen vs Kaby Lake it is then. Should be interesting.

Still happy with my 2nd gen i7 2600
Maybe if Intel hadn't screwed us with getting us to buy a new motherboard everytime a new processor was announced, I would have been clapping my hands in delight

Still running 2 IvyBridge, 2 Bulldozer and an AM1 (plus 2 of those little Turon IIs)......part of me wants to upgrade my main rig but still not seeing the point. My main issue right now is getting nervous about motherboard deaths. They have gotten rather expensive now due to needing a new CPU to go with them :(

This will use the same motherboard as Skylake though, as it says in the article.

As with other comments I have an ivy bridge and may have upgraded by now if I didn't need a new board every processor.

I am waiting for Zen before my next upgrade.

There's not much information about Kaby Lake out there at this time. It is expected to be, as previously described, a 'refreshed' Skylake with tweaks to improve the microarchitecture – providing incrementally greater levels of efficiency and speed.

If rumours are to your liking then ...

According to a user on the AnandTech forums who claims to have done some digging into Intel's latest graphics driver, Kaby Lake will feature Intel's next-generation Gen. 10 graphics and media engine, the successor to the Gen. 9 graphics found in Skylake.

Seams like intel has given up making chips and is now a marketing company.

Here is a product you'll want to buy but we don't sell it.

One day I'll upgrade from Core2 ;)

They are just copying AMD's "You can't have Zen yet" technology ;)

Hah, same here!

Although I don't really use my desktop that much anymore... classic "want vs. need" paradigm :D
