Intel’s new "Kaby Lake" CPUs are already showing up in PCs at Computex

Intel's main Computex announcement was the launch of its high-end (and high-cost) Broadwell-E chips, but the company also made a passing mention of a couple of next-generation architectures for mainstream and low-end systems that will ship in finished systems by the end of the year.

The most significant of these two architectures is Kaby Lake, the replacement for Skylake. Kaby Lake breaks from the "tick-tock" schedule that Intel has followed for most of the last decade; that schedule has been replaced by something Intel calls "Process, Architecture, Optimization," in which it introduces a new process (formerly a tick), introduces a new architecture on that process (formerly a tock), and then tweaks the architecture without changing the process. Kaby Lake is an "optimization" and will be built on the same 14nm process as Skylake.
