Preliminary data on the characteristics of the processor Core i7-7700K allow us to judge that the frequency potential of desktop models Kaby Lake is not far away from Skylake generation predecessors. And how can there be a significant increase in frequency, if both processors family will be released on the same 14-nm process technology.
Website Fudzillareported that Intel has told motherboard manufacturers on Kaby Lake generation processors overclocking features . First, the desktop models in the series will have a new auto tuning voltage during overclocking by increasing the base frequency of the generator. Apparently, the processor and the motherboard will independently raise the voltage during overclocking .
In addition, overclockers will have more control over the Intel Turbo Boost Technology performance when overclocking processors Kaby Lake. This will have an impact on the frequency increase "automatic overclocking" Turbo mode. Recall that desktop processors Kaby Lake will be released at the end of this year or early next year, to work with them will require new motherboards.
