Kaby Lake is Intel's codename for the upcoming 14 nanometer successor to the Skylake microarchitecture. It is another "tock" (semi-Tock) after the Skylake in Intel's "tick-tock" strategy,[1] was to be succeeded by the 10 nanometer Cannonlake, which is a "tick", but it was announced on July 16, 2015 that Cannonlake has been delayed until the second half of 2017.[2][3]
Features
Kaby Lake will add native USB 3.1 support, whereas Skylake motherboards require a third-party add-on chip in order to provide USB 3.1 ports.[4] It will also feature a new graphics architecture to improve performance in 3D graphics and 4K video playback.[5]
Kaby Lake will add native HDCP 2.2 support.[6]
Kaby Lake will add full fixed function HEVC Main10/10bit and VP9 10-bit hardware decoding.[7]
On January 15, 2016, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 will be the only supported Windows platform for Kaby Lake processors.[8]
