Intel unviels 7th-gen Core "Kaby Lake" processors


Intel has officially announced its 7th generation Core line up using its Kaby Lake architecture. These include 4.5 watt (Y-series) and 15 watt (U-series), dual-core chips and are expected to show up in new laptops, 2-in-1 tablets  in the coming months.

The Kaby Lake processors succeeds the 6th-gen Skylake processors, both of which are built on the 14nm architecture, so the performance will not receive a huge boost. It will offer up to 12 percent faster productivity performance and up to 19 percent faster web performance when compared to its predecessor.

However, the graphic department has received a boost. It will have native support for 4K HEVC and VP9 video decoding to boost 4K UHD content. Intel also promises better battery life, improved gaming performance and faster video decoding.
