Kaby Lake is the latest generation of CPUs from Intel following the undeniably successful Skylake generation. Powering the vast majority of mainstream laptops and PCs, including the Dell XPS 13 and the latest MacBook Pro 2017, so far we can say it’s been a roaring triumph.

But it’s also been a confusing and frustrating generation for fans of Moore’s Law. Unlike in years past, where the “tick-tock” model would shrink process technology down biennially, the 7th and now 8th-generation Kaby Lake processors are the third and fourth Intel microarchitectures, respectively, to utilize Intel’s 14nm node.
