    Intel Kaby Lake CPU listing and pricing revealed

    Intel has already started to sell low-power dual-core Core i5/i7 Kaby Lake microprocessors for notebooks, but desktop parts with four cores and high frequencies are due in early 2017. And until now we've not known all the details of desktop variants. But by the courtesy of an Intel-provided PDF intended for manufacturing partners, the specs for the desktop versions of Intel's "Kaby Lake" CPUs have leaked onto the internet. The notification lists a total of seven Core i5 processors and three Core i7s.

    Kaby Lake will work on many existing 100-series motherboards, but Intel will have 200-series chipsets, the lineup will include the Z270 PCH for enthusiast-class PCs with overclocking capabilities; Q270, H270 and H250 for mainstream systems and B250 for office/business computers. The good news is existing 100-series motherboards will also support the kay lake CPUs.
