I'm getting lost in the conjecture and the rumours, as well as the actual info that's for other CPU classes of each generation.
Specifically, does anyone have any reliable information as to the Core M lines of the coming generations of Intel CPUs?
For example:
Should I expect Core M Kaby Lake to have full 10-bit H.265 HEVC hardware decoding, and will it work fine with 4K sources?
Should I expect Core M Kaby Lake to be able output 4K 60 Hz?
Will most Core M Kaby Lake ultrabooks include full HDCP 2.2 support?
Will most Core M Kaby Lake ultrabooks include HDMI 2.0 support?
Will Core M Kaby Lake include USB 3.1 standard?
I know most of this stuff is supposed to be there for the higher power Kaby lake classes, but I'm finding it difficult to know if this all trickles down to the Core M parts. Also, even if it does come to Core M, would be on all versions of Core M, or would it just be on top-of-the-line parts?
Outside of CPU speed per watt, is there any point in holding off for Cannonlake? IOW, are there killer must-have features that are in Cannonlake?
