Intel confirms 7th generation Kaby Lake processors coming this year - CNET

Intel has confirmed that it will launch its eagerly anticipated 7th Generation core processors by the end of the year, with production beginning within months.

Taking the stage at Computex in Taipei on Tuesday, General Manager of Intel's Client Computing Group, Navin Shenoy announced the news, confirming that production would begin on the processors by the end of this quarter.

The company will also begin production on its entry-level Apollo Lake processors at the same time, with these chips also launching by the end of the year.

"We're never done pushing innovation forward," said Shenoy.

But this latest push forward has been some time coming, after Intel last year confirmed it would be putting its so-called "Tick Tock" product release cycle on hold, in favour of a "Process, Architecture, Optimisation" model.
