Intel X299 motherboard spotted with an i7 7740K CPU

First of all, Kaby Lake is just SKL on 14nm+ with an updated video decoder for Gen 9.5 graphics.
Secondly, SKL-X/SP etc is very different from SKL with 1MB l2, AVX512, different uncore, L3 etc. And unlike SKL its also made on 14nm+ like KBL.

Oh, so Skylake-X isn't actually a node behind despite what the codenames would suggest when corresponding to the "mainstream" parts. Intel's codenames are getting confusing again, like the pre-Sandy Bridge days.
