Intel introduces the 7th generation of its processers, this time codenamed Kaby Lake. Basically, it is a very similar architecture to the previous successful Skylake series. Intel, however, has worked on various optimizations and the result is a processor that delivers real performance growth while maintaining minimal energy performance.
The Kaby Lake architecture is once again based on a 14nm production process. Beginning with demanding manufacturing, Intel is providing utmost excellence, offering this processor an excellent price / performance ratio. As with the predecessors, there are AES-NI instructions that provide much better hardware support when working with encrypted drives , with a noticeable reduction in latency. Of course, support for the usual virtualization features VT-d and VT-x including EPT. The quad core Intel Core i5-7600 works reliably up to a high frequency of 4.1 GHz.
Access to data is greatly facilitated by a fast 6 MB L3 cache that gives kernels enough time to instantly respond to all applications. This processor with its features will surely serve as a reliable foundation for your computer assembly.
Thanks to Intel's focus on optimizing existing technology, the new Kaby Lake processors are also working on the previously sold motherboards with 1151 slots . It is only necessary to verify compatibility with the motherboard manufacturer and make a relatively simple update of the UEFI environment.
Intel Corporation is the world's largest manufacturer of semiconductor circuits and related components, powering a large share of the world's computers, devices, and machines with their powerful and reliable processors. One of the most established and successful companies to come out of Silicon Valley, they've been a driver of the technology revolution ever since.
Intel employs over 96,500 employees worldwide and is one of the biggest and richest companies in the world. For decades, their slogan was "Intel Inside"; however, they replaced with the more dynamic "Leap ahead" in 2005, signalling a renewed commitment to innovation.
