Kaby still a 4core max mainstream chip? If Zen comes out it will trounce a 4c8t with 6 and 8 core zens.
Well unless AMD charges 600-1000 for their 6 and 8 core chips like intel's -E class xeons

Intel Kaby Lake to compete against AMD Zen at end of 2016
www.digitimes.com/news/a20160302PD204.html
Confusing article.
- Kabylake-U production starts in June, launch in Q3
- Mass/volume production of Kabylake chips (including desktop Kabylake-S?) @ November/December
- Competes against Summit Ridge at end of 2016, so desktop launch in 2016 still in the cards?
- Z270 / H270 announcement in October
I'm also adding this to the OP, Intel naming/lineup guide for noobs.
ArsTechnica: Pentium? Core i5? Core i7? Making sense of Intels convoluted CPU lineup
It defies simple explanation, but here's how to know what you're getting
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016...-making-sense-of-intels-convoluted-cpu-lineup
Intel's Kaby Lake-series will begin with the U-series which will start small volume production in mid-June, with mass production to start in November or December. The corresponding chipsets including the Z270 and H270-series will be announced in October at the earliest.
AMD plans to release AM4 socket-based eight-core high-end Summit Ridge and Raven Ridge-series processors both using its Zen architecture and manufactured on Samsung Electronics' and Globalfoundries' 14nm processes in the first quarter of 2017. Several motherboard players expect the new platform's improved performance and strong price competitiveness to give AMD some competitive advantages.
So is this a further delay of KL, or just what was expected?

The real gem from today's Radeon Technologies Group Reddit Q&A, the technical marketing guy from AMD owns a Skylake Core i7-6700K system:

Its vaguely intriguing because the one score that is there (Manhattan on screen) is bang on the equivalent 750ti, which is a significant sort of milestone for 1080 gaming. Suppose we'll find out.
looks like Intel won't increase the EU count for GT2 in this generation, and the iGPU is not the major overhaul either. So, the only advantages of KBL over SKL iGPUs are more video encoding/decoding supported, and maybe a bit better performance.
Well, GT4e would better have EU count increased to 96 rather than staying with 72EUs. Otherwise, it won't be competitive with the upcoming mid-range pascals.
I do expect higher Iris / Iris Pro adoption though.
2x 128MB = 2 stack eDRAM? Double the bandwidth? Perhaps 50GB/s bi-directional bandwidth is not enough anymore. Well, they are reaching that point. Also, if they wish to be competitive* with iGPU performance the high end Kabylake should be DOUBLE Skylake GT4e.Still, there must be a reason why they're going for 2x 128MB eDRAM with Kabylake-H GT4e.

Is there any hope of an unlocked Kaby Lake SKU with eDRAM?

And a low latency setting, something like DDR4 2400-2666 at CL 12-13. Heck, even 2133 CL11 versus. 2666 CL15 would be nice to see.I wish they had included faster DDR4 in the mix (>3000MHz).
