Title: Intel's Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, Cannon Lake, and Ice Lake CPUs: Everything you need to know. Post by: HCK on August 29, 2017, 04:05:18 pm Intel's Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, Cannon Lake, and Ice Lake CPUs: Everything you need to know.
Intel's next-generation processor lineup goes from Kaby Lake to Coffee Lake, Ice Lake, and Cannon Lake — but what do those names mean and what improvements will they offer? Intel CPUs have been at the heart of Apple's Mac laptops and desktops since the switch from PowerPC back in 2006. Currently, that includes the Core Duo series used in MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac; the Core m series used in MacBook; and the Xeon series used with Mac Pro. Each processor is also distinguished by generation: Previously Haswell or Broadwell, currently Skylake or Kaby Lake. Once upon a time, Intel was on a "tick-tock" schedule where one generation would introduce a die-shrink (tinier and tinier transistors) and the next a new architecture. Now that the company is hitting 14 nanometers and approaching 10 nanometers, physics has forced them to slow down … and pad out. That means the generations have gotten more complicated and more confusing. Instead of going from Skylake to Cannon Lake,...
