Intel i7 Baby Canyon Barebone Planned for 2017

[Eftegarie]

Anybody knows anything about the all new Intel i7 Baby Canyon (KBL-U) coming out this year?

1. Will it be dualcore (4 threads) OR quadcore (8 threads)?
2. How will the Baby Canyon's KBL-U CPU differ from the current topmodels' SKL-H CPU (i7 6770HQ)?
3. Will the baby Canyon replace the current topmodel nuc NUC6i7KYK, or will intel market it as a slightly slower alternative?
4. Any and all info, hyperlinks and previews are welcome to be pasted in here!

It's Kaby Lake-U, so it'll be 15-28 Watt 2c\4t

NUC7i7BN is already available at amazon and newegg. It is a 28W Dual Core with HT. Single core Turbo is 4Ghz base clock is 3.5Ghz. It is not in direct competition to Skull Canyon.

Official product pages for the NUC kit and the CPU:

Both the CPU and graphics are not as good as the NUC6i7KYK (Skull Canyon), but it does have the Kaby-lake specific features (like support for Optanme memory and 10-bit HEVC support in the graphics engine)
