Intel sets the scene with the seventh generation of its processers, this time codenamed Kaby Lake. In principle, this is a very similar architecture as the previously successful Skylake series. Intel, however, worked on various optimizations and the result is a processor that delivers real increase performance while maintaining minimal energy consumption.
The Kaby Lake architecture is once again based on a14nm manufacturing process. Intel's demanding production provides absolutely stunning performance that gives this processor an excellent price-performance ratio. Like predecessors without AES-NI instructions, it allows much better hardware support when working with encrypted disks, with a substantial reduction in latency. The device also supports common virtualization functions VT-d and VT-x, including EPT. The quad-core Intel Core i5-7600 works reliably up to the high frequency of 4.2 GHz.
Data access is greatly facilitated by a fast L3 cache size of 6 MB which gives the cores enough time for an immediate response to all applications. This processor has properties guaranteed to serve as a reliable foundation for your computer assemblies.
Due to Intel's focus on the optimisation of existing technologies, the new Kaby Lake processors function in existing motherboards with socket 1151. It is only necessary for the motherboard manufacturer to verify compatibility and perform a relatively simple update to 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.
