Kaby Lake finalized, shipping to OEMs

FIVR Returning with Cannonlake

And even then, there is a chance that they keep it to CannonLake-U/Y, because it does make sense on SoCs above all (not to mention, CannonLake is mobile-only de facto).

CNL is also coming to servers and that one has FIVR

Now you're going to need a source for FIVR on Skylake Xeon.

CNL and SKL is supported on the same socket for servers. No reason to think its not the same for client until proven otherwise.

The Kaby Lake lineup from Intel. Not that it should really be news anymore

X299 chipset for Skylake-E also confirmed.

Isn't it likely that Skylake-X may end up really being the same as Kaby-X? Would Intel really make Skylake-X on the old non optimized 14nm process?

Skylake X is almost certain to use the Kaby Lake's 14nm.

Kaby-X is simply rumored to be a Kaby quad core on HEDT platform, while Skylake-X is the same old LCC die Xeon rejects.

Retail 7700K.

Should we read anything into the voltage shown on that, at idle as well? My 2500k shows that voltage when it's overclocked to 4.5GHz.

I wish motherboard manufacturers would give more comprehensive updates in their description for a given BIOS version. They'll have ME firmware and other optimizations in them which aren't disclosed to the general public. I can sometimes wring the info out of them but it's worse than pulling teeth.

This is another annoying trend I'm seeing in the tech industry in general. Especially for something that's reserved... almost exclusively for enthusiasts like a damn BIOS update, tell us what the hell you did!

My personal favorite is and seems will forever be

I will continue to push for more transparency with the enthusiast community in regard to BIOS updates from the motherboard manufacturers. I have no idea if I'll ever get them on board with that, but I'll keep on them about it.

So why even call it Skylake then if it is really Kaby LaKe?

Because its not. Just as Skylake-EP isn't Kaby Lake-EP either.

So really the bottom line is that Intel can come out with another worthless upgrade chip that does virtually nothing with of course a higher price. I would be interested in Skylake E but if they are priced like Broadwell a big middle finger would be very appropriate.
