The highly anticipated release of Intel Kaby Lake might be right around the corner, based on a leaked report from HP.
PCWorld spotted the maintenance documents of HP's still-unrevealed PC product that will be called Pavilion x360 m1.
Based on the now-deleted document, HP's upcoming Pavilion x360 m1 could be released with a dual-core Core i3-7100U that runs at 2.40GHz, which could be the basic component of the Intel's seventh-generation Core chips.
However, both HP and Intel have yet to address the speculations claiming that the upcoming PC will actually carry the Kaby Lake chips.
There are also reports saying that Apple's new MacBook Pro, which is expected to be shipped to retails stores sometime in autumn, will also come out with the Intel Kaby Lake processor upon release.
Asus and Lenovo are also expected to release new products that will feature the Kaby Lake processor before the end of 2016.
Meanwhile, Tech Radar reported that Intel CEO Brian Krzanich unveiled on July 22 that the Kaby Lake chipsets will be released to PC builders toward the end of 2016.
Kaby Lake processors will follow the release of Intel Skylake, which was dropped in August 2015. A report from The Motley Fool in August 2015 revealed that the upcoming processor will feature an added native USB 3.1 Generation 2 support. Other speculations claim that it will come out with a DDR3L SDRAM and DDR4 SDRAM in its mainstream variants, as well as Thunderbolt 3 support.
The soon-to-be-released Kaby Lake processor is also expected to come out with 64 MB to 128 MB L4 eDRAM cache that can be seen in specific SKUs, as well as around four cores that can be used as its default mainstream configuration.
Intel has yet to make an official announcement about Kaby Lake's release date, but it is expected to be unveiled during the upcoming IFA trade show by the end of August.
