Hi everyone,

You may be aware that a new Extreme Edition processor range has been announced. The chips come in Skylake and Kaby Lake architecture, referred to as Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X. The 'i' speed value goes up to 'i9' in this new range.

The chips come in a variety of core numbers to support all budgets, from 4 cores up to a huge 18 cores. The Skylake-X processors are the most powerful chips, whilst the Kaby Lake-X is the value-price chip with 4 cores.

In February 2017, Intel support member Yermi confirmed that the X Series chips would be compatible with RealSense cameras.

Edit: in further chip news, it has been reported by Intel that the 8th generation Coffee Lake CPUs coming this year will have a 30% performance increase over the 7th generation Kaby Lake.
