[[File:7th Gen Core-i7-badge.png|thumb|right|175px|Kaby Lake is Intel's 7th Generation {{intel|Core i7}} MPUs.]]
'''Kaby Lake''' ('''KBL''') is [[Intel]]'s successor to {{\\|Skylake}}, an enhanced [[14 nm process]] [[microarchitecture]] for mainstream desktops and mobile devices. Kaby Lake is the first "Optimization" released as part of Intel's {{intel|PAO}} model. The microarchitecture was developed by Intel's R&D center in [[wikipedia:Haifa, Israel|Haifa, Israel]]. {{\\|Cannon Lake}} was originally set to replace {{\\|Skylake}} as the next microarchitecture using a [[10 nm process]], however Intel later revised their roadmap to include Kaby Lake (with Cannon Lake being pushed back to [[2018]]). 

For desktop and mobile, Kaby Lake is branded as 7th Generation Intel {{intel|Core i3}}, {{intel|Core i5}}. and {{intel|Core i7}} processors. For workstation class processors, Intel branded it as {{intel|Xeon E3|Xeon E3 v6}}. There are no Kaby Lake-based server microprocessors.

== Release Dates ==
Kaby Lake is set to be released in two phases. The first phase was announced in August of [[2016]] and was primarily aimed at various low-power consumer products such as light notebooks and 2-in-1s. Those devices are powered by {{intel|Kaby Lake Y|l=core}} and {{intel|Kaby Lake U|l=core}} CPUs. Intel released mainstream {{intel|Kaby Lake S|l=core}} and {{intel|Kaby Lake H|l=core}} processors on January 3, [[2017]] in time for CES 2017. The enthusiast version, {{intel|Kaby Lake X|l=core}}, was introduced during Computex Taipei 2017.

On August 21 2017, Intel introduced 8th generation mobile processors ({{intel|Kaby Lake R|Kaby Lake Refresh|l=core}}) which is also based on the same microarchitecture and doubled the cores (4 from 2) of many mainstream mobile microprocessors.

{{see also|intel/microarchitectures/broadwell#Process_Technology|14 nm lithography process|l1=Broadwell § Process Technology}}
Kaby Lake uses a modified and improved [[14 nm process]] used for the Broadwell microarchitecture (And {{\\|Skylake}}). Intel calls the modified process "14nm+". The new process has improved [[transistor]] channel strain. The various enhancements improve performance without increasing the capacitance (i.e., active power characteristics). These changes allowed Intel to increase the maximum frequencies of all models by around 100 to 300 [[megahertz]] which gives many [[single-thread]] applications a modest performance increase. Overall transistors improvement allowed for +12% drive current.

== Architecture ==
{{see also|intel/microarchitectures/skylake#Key_changes_from_Broadwell|l1=Skylake § Key changes from Broadwell}}
While there is no change in pure IPC over Skylake and the actual microarchitecture is largely the same, Intel introduced a number of enhancements in Kaby Lake. Note that because of the improvements done to the process and the uplift in binning, it is the mostly the ultra-low power (i.e. mobile) processors that will see the most substantial gain. Likewise, the high-end models will see very little gain. The enhanced manufacturing process allowed Kaby Lake chips to be highly [[overclockable]] with models such as the [[Core i7-7700K]] capable of comfortably reaching 5 GHz for many people with a reasonable cooling setup.

=== Key changes from {{\\|Skylake}} ===
* Enhanced "14nm+" process results in ~15% higher frequency (100 to 300 MHz increase across the board, same price)
* Same IPC as Skylake (i.e. performance/[[MHz]] is unchanged)
* 10x performance/[[Watt]] over {{\\|Nehalem}} (Up from 8x)
* [[intel/microarchitectures/skylake#.22Speed_Shift.22_.28new_power_management.29|SkyLake's Speed Shift]] implementation is significantly improved, cutting responsiveness by as much as 66% (down to just ~10-15ms to peak frequency).

* Mainstream chipset (See [[#Sockets.2FPlatform|§ Sockets]])
** {{intel|Sunrise Point|l=chipset}} (100 series) → {{intel|Union Point|l=chipset}} (200 Series)
*** Sunrise Point is still compatible (may need firmware update)
** Added support for {{intel|Optane}} Technology

* Memory
** Faster memory for mainstream desktops (i.e., {{intel|Kaby Lake S|l=core}}) DDR4-2400 (from DDR4-2133)
** Faster memory for high-perf mobile (i.e., {{intel|Kaby Lake H|l=core}}) DDR4-2400 (from DDR4-2133)

* Interfaces
** [[Embedded DisplayPort]] ([[eDP]]) now supports eDP Standard 1.4 (From 1.3 in Skylake)

* {{intel|Gen 9.5|l=arch}} GPUs
** Iris Plus now support HDMI (1.4a) 4096x2304 @ 30 Hz (from 24 Hz) 
** New native hardware support for 4K HEVC/VP9 (See [[#Graphics|§ Graphics]])
** {{intel|HD Graphics 510}} '''→''' {{intel|HD Graphics 610}} (12 Execution Units, no change)
** {{intel|HD Graphics 515}} '''→''' {{intel|HD Graphics 615}} (24 Execution Units, no change)
** {{intel|HD Graphics 520}} '''→''' {{intel|HD Graphics 620}} (24 Execution Units, no change)
** {{intel|HD Graphics 530}} '''→''' {{intel|HD Graphics 630}} (24 Execution Units, no change)
** {{intel|HD Graphics P530}} '''→''' {{intel|HD Graphics P630}} (24 Execution Units, no change)
** {{intel|Iris Graphics 540}} '''→''' {{intel|Iris Plus Graphics 640}} (48 Execution Units, no change)
** {{intel|Iris Graphics 550}} '''→''' {{intel|Iris Plus Graphics 650}} (48 Execution Units, no change)

* Families
** {{intel|Core i3}} processors dropped support for ECC memory (except for Embedded models)
** {{intel|Pentium (2009)|Pentium}} desktop processors now have {{intel|Hyper-Threading}} support (note that Mobile Pentium already had that feature.)
** {{intel|Pentium (2009)|Pentium}} desktop & mobile processors now have Memory Protection ({{intel|MPX}}) and {{intel|OS Guard}} support

== Configurability ==

Kaby Lake builds upon the Skylake architecture, most dies are slight enchantments of their Skylake counterparts. The biggest change is the removal of the high performance quad core GT4 die, which has been replaced by the Kaby Lake G processors. And the introduction of the first low power quad core processor.

Support for three displays via [[HDMI]] 1.4<ref group=graphics>Note that while there is no native HDMI 2.0 support, Intel did provide somewhat of an awkward solution using an [[LSPCON]] ([[Level Shifter]]/[[Protocol Converter]]) to drive DP to HDMI 1.4 signal + convert HDMI 1.4 to HDMI 2.0. One such solution is the MegaChips MCDP2800.</ref>, [[DisplayPort]] (DP) 1.2, and [[Embedded DisplayPort]] (eDP) 1.4 interfaces. Kaby Lake's biggest enhancement is the addition of native [[fixed function]] HEVC/VP9 decoding for 4K playback at 60fps (10-bit) as well as [[fixed function]] HEVC/VP9 encoding for 4K (8-bit).

{{intel|Kaby Lake Y|l=core}} and {{intel|Kaby Lake U|U|l=core}} are single-chip solutions. {{intel|Kaby Lake Y|Y|l=core}} chips utilize a 2-die [[multi-chip package]] (MCP) whereas the {{intel|Kaby Lake U|l=core}}'s are either 2 or 3-die MCP configuration. The 3 die chip configuration are for the Iris [[IGP]]s which incorporate an on-package cache (OPC) in addition to the hub. Communication from the CPU to the hub on those chips are done via a lightweight On-Package Interconnect (OPI) interface. {{intel|Kaby Lake S|l=core}} and {{intel|Kaby Lake H|H|l=core}} are a two-chip solution linked together via Intel's standard [[DMI 3.0]] bus interface which utilizes 4 of the CPU's 20 [[PCIe]] 3.0 lanes (having a transfer rate of 8 GT/s per lane). Only {{intel|Kaby Lake S|l=core}} (used on mainstream desktop processors) are not soldered onto the [[motherboard]] and can be interchanged/replaced.

== Clock domains ==
Kaby Lake is divided into a number of [[clock domains]], each controlling the clock frequency of their respective unit in the processor. All clock domains are some multiple of the [virtual] bus clock ([[BCLK]]).

* '''BCLK''' - Bus/Base Clock - The  system bus interface frequency (once upon a time referred to the actual [[FSB]] speed, it now serves as only a base clock reference for all other clock domains). The base clock is 100 MHz.
* '''Core Clock''' - The frequency at which the core and the [[L1]]/[[L2]] caches operate at. (Frequency depends on the model and is represented as a multiple of BCLK).
* '''Ring Clock''' - The frequency at which the ring interconnect and [[L3$|LLC]] operate at. Data from/to the individual cores are read/written into the L3 at a rate of 32B/cycle operating at Ring Clock frequency.
* '''IGP Clock''' - The frequency at which the [[integrated graphics]] ({{\\|Gen9}} GPU) operates at. Data from/to the GPU are read/written into the LLC at a rate of 64B/cycle operating at this frequency as well.
* '''eDRAM Clock''' - The frequency at which the [[embedded DRAM]] operates at (only available for certain models). Data is read/written from/to the LLC at a rate of 32B/cycle operating at this frequency as well.
* '''MemClk''' - Memory Clock - The frequency at which the system DRAM operates at. DRAM data is transfered at a rate of 8B/cycle operating at MemClk frequency.

=== Overclocking ===
See {{intel|Skylake#Overclocking|Skylake §Overclocking|l=arch}}.

== Kaby Lake G ==
[[File:kaby lake g with amd radeon package.png|right|300px]]
{{main|intel/cores/kaby lake g|l1=Kaby Lake G Core}}
At CES 2018 (January 7) Intel announced ''8th Gen Intel Core with Radeon RX Vega M'', formerly code name {{intel|Kaby Lake G|l=core}}. Those parts combine Intel's {{intel|Kaby Lake H|l=core}} parts with and [[AMD]] {{amd|Vega|l=arch}} GPU as well as [[high-bandwidth memory]] 2.

All parts incorporate 4 GiB of [[HBM 2]] along with an [[AMD]] {{amd|Vega|l=arch}} GPU. The HBM2 and GPU are interconnected using Intel's [[EMIB]], however, the CPU and GPU are connected using standard in-package wires over standard PCIe 3.0. x8 lanes are permanently reserved for direct GPU-CPU communication. This leaves x8 additional lanes for all other peripherals that need direct connection to the CPU.

[[File:intel-radeon emib solution.svg|650px]]

Intel claims that the use of HBM2 instead of [[GDDR5]] results in 80% less power. It's worth noting that since those are {{intel|Kaby Lake H|l=core}} parts with {{amd|Radeon}} Graphics, they effectively have two GPUs and both GPUs are usable. Fairly significant power saving can be achieved by defaulting to the integrated graphics when high performance is not required. In total there are 3 display outputs from the integrated graphics and an additional 6 outputs from the Radeon graphics for a total of 9.

By moving from [[GDDR5]] to [[HBM 2]] and going to higher integration by packing everything into a single package, Intel has achieved considerably higher density. Intel reported that around 1900 mm² (~3 in²) board space saving has been achieved which is rather significant for ultra-light and ultra-thin notebooks and tablets where logic board area reduction is important. Additionally, this reduces the [[bills of material|BOM]] for OEMs.

[[File:kaby lake g board space saving.png|700px]]

=== Dynamic Tuning ===
[[File:intel dynamic tuning.png|right|250px]]
{{main|intel/dynamic tuning|l1=Dynamic Tuning}}
With Kaby Lake G Intel introduced Dynamic Tuning which is a way of managing the entire package power consumption by adjusting the power policies of the GPU and CPU depending on the application. Applications that make no use of the discrete GPU will see the majority of the package power budget allocated for the CPU to accelerate that workloads while things like gaming will shift the power in favor of GPU acceleration. The feature is implemented entirely in software.

=== Graphics ===
{{intel|Kaby Lake G|l=core}} has one of two possible AMD {{amd|Radeon}} graphics based on the {{amd|Vega|l=arch}} microarchitecture.

== Die ==
Kaby Lake desktop and mobile come and [[2 cores|2]] and [[4 cores|4]] cores. Each variant has its own die. One of the most noticeable changes on die is the amount of die space allocated to the [[GPU]]. The major components of the die are:

* System Agent
* CPU Core
* Ring bus interconnect
* Memory Controller

=== System Agent ===
The System Agent (SA) contains the Image Processing Unit (IPU), the Display Engine (DE), and the I/O bus. Note that the mainstream desktop (i.e., [[quad-core]] die) does not have an IPU (The memory controller actually occupies a portion of where it would otherwise be).

</div> 
</div>
{{clear}}

=== Integrated Graphics ===
The [[integrated graphics]] takes up the largest portion of the die. The normal [[dual-core]] and [[quad-core]] dies come with 24 EU {{\\|Gen9.5}} GPU (with 12 units disabled on the low end models).

</div>

==== Layout Difference from Skylake ====
The majority of the enhancements to Kaby Lake comes from the Unslice portion of the {{\\|Gen9.5}} integrated GPU. The shaded region marked in green indicates new/modified physical layout changes. The rest of the die, shaded in red, is unchanged from {{\\|Skylake}}.

[[File:kaby lake skylake gpu diff.png|450px]]

=== Dual-Core ===
Die shot of the [[dual-core]] {{\\|Gen9.5|GT2}} Kaby Lake processors. Those are found in mobile models, and entry-level/budget processors:

* [[14 nm process|14 nm+ process]]
* 11 metal layers
* 2 CPU cores + 24 GPU EUs

=== Quad-Core ===
Die shot of the [[quad-core]] {{\\|Gen9.5|GT2}} Kaby Lake processors. Those are found in almost all mainstream desktop processors.

* [[14 nm process|14 nm+ process]]
* 11 metal layers
* ~9,21 mm x ~13,50 mm
* ~126 mm² die size
* 4 CPU cores + 24 GPU EUs

: [[File:kaby lake (quad core) (annotated).png|650px]]

=== Quad-Core (Mobile {{intel|Kaby Lake R|l=core}}) ===
With the introduction of {{intel|Kaby Lake R|l=core}}, a new quad-core die was introduced. It's worth pointing out that this die is very different from the standard desktop quad-core die. Other than likely being optimized specifically for this market segment, this die also incorporates {{\\|Skylake (client)#Image Processing Unit (IPU)|the IPU}} in the System Agent. Previously this integration was only found in the dual-core dies which were used for {{intel|Skylake U|l=core}} and {{intel|Kaby Lake U|l=core}}.

* [[14 nm process|14 nm+ process]]
* 11 metal layers
* 123 mm² die size
* 4 CPU cores + 24 GPU EUs
