Kaby Lake is Intel's codename for its seventh generation Core microprocessor family announced on August 30, 2016.

[9] Kaby Lake began shipping to manufacturers and OEMs in the second quarter of 2016,[10][11] with its desktop chips officially launched in January 2017.

[14][15] In the meantime, Intel released a fourth 14 nm generation on October 5, 2017, named Coffee Lake.

[18] Intel Israel Development Centers manager Ran Senderovitz said: "When we started out on the project, we were only thinking about basic improvements from the previous generation.

[7][22] It adds native HDCP 2.2 support,[23] along with fixed function decode of H.264 (AVC), HEVC Main and Main10/10-bit, and VP9 10-bit and 8-bit video.

[27] Kaby Lake is the first Core architecture to support hyper-threading for the Pentium-branded desktop CPU SKU.

[33] Under new policies established in January 2016, Microsoft only supports an NT 10.0-based Windows platform on newly-released CPU microarchitectures, beginning with Kaby Lake and AMD Bristol Ridge.

One-package processors with AMD Radeon discrete graphics chip - it is connected with main CPU core using an on-package PCI Express link.

The Radeon GPU connects to its on-package HBM memory through an embedded multi-die interconnect bridge (EMIB).
