The output of the first models Kaby Lake - their official announcement took place yesterday afternoon - marked the entry into the practice of the new Intel three-stage concept. Instead of a two-phase strategy "tick-tock" when new process technology and new core appeared for two years, the work of running three-phase strategy "tick-tock-tock +". The third phase - is the issue of multiple processors improved more or less streamlined architecture. In general, if you are waiting for Intel Skylake processors, but still have postponed the purchase, you can safely buy processors Skylake Refresh.
The first models in the new core were three processor Kaby Lake-Y and Kaby Lake-U. The first - for tablets and convertible notebooks, the second - for what used to be called ultrabook. Processor model for conventional laptops and desktop processors Kaby Lake will appear early next year. New products can not be called least in the full SoC. The south bridge is made on a separate chip and placed on a substrate with the processor. It should also be noted that the model Kaby Lake-Y raised in status. Of the three models presented two belong to high society in the form of lines Core i5 and i7. Only the youngest goes to the line of Core m3.
Baseline characteristics processors require work within the TDP 4,5 W for Kaby Lake-Y T 15 W for Kaby Lake-U. In this scenario consumption modes can be increased to the level of 7 W and 25 W, or reduced to the level of 3.5 watts and 7.5 watts. Everything is at the discretion of laptop manufacturers. By the end of the year, by the way, the new processors will be released about a hundred varieties of mobile PCs and tablets.
To raise the clock speed Kaby Lake compared with similar characteristics Skylake models from Intel helped improved (and debugged) 14-nm process technology, which it calls 14nm +. In general, Intel claims a 12% performance advantage of new products by about 19% advantage when using the Internet.
More substantial changes were made in the processing unit on the video stream. The developers have provided full hardware acceleration when decoding and encoding HEVC streams (H.265). The built-in real-time without the involvement of resources cores handles up to 8 video streams at resolutions up to 4K at 30 frames per second. This built-in graphics core remained the same as in Skylake processors. Finally, the Intel processors Kaby Lake-Y and Kaby Lake-U got the bus PCI Express 3.0, which will be connected to them, such as high-speed SSD.
