Intel Kaby Lake To Get A Massive Refresh, To Feature A New Hybrid Design & BGA Package [VIDEO]

Intel is reportedly working on a new breed of processors that is based on the 14 nm manufacturing process, much known as the Kaby Lake-G Series. The rumored new processors, which said to be part of the Intel 7th Generation Core family, will be featuring a new hybrid design scheme.

A newly released Intel roadmap has seemingly confirmed that the US tech giant is working on a new breed of Kaby Lake-G processors, which said to feature advanced technologies and new design scheme. Intel's next-gen Kaby Lake G Series will make use of multiple process nodes for various parts of the processor and will reportedly come in 4C/8T with a 65W and 100W model. For the main core and GPU, Intel will use the current 14nm process and will have a dedicated PCI Express link to a separate discrete GPU along with faster HBM2 memory, the Hot Hardware reported.

For the new Kaby Lake G Series, Intel is said to be considering a multi-die design strategy. In the multi-die design, the CPU will be interconnected with other peripherals like HBM2 memory using the flip-chip technology, a known method for interconnecting semiconductor devices.

Intel is no longer stranger when it comes to Multi-Die design. The Santa Clara-based company already has an experience with this Multi-Die design from its Clarkdale family of microprocessors where it managed to integrate a 32nm CPU, a 45nm GPU and memory controller into a single package.

The US tech giant will also likely to use Intel EMIB (Embedded Multi-Die interconnect Bridge), which the company claimed is more efficient. Intel's new multi-die strategy will ensure that good die-to-die interconnection is being maximized while maintaining a small die footprint and lower overall cost.

In addition, the upcoming Intel Kaby Lake-G series will also feature the Ball Grid Array design and a package size of 58.5 x 31mm. The Kaby Lake G will also feature a package size of 58.5 x 32mm which is bigger than the desktop variant Kaby Lake S (37.5 x 37.5mm) and the laptop-focused Kaby Lake H (42 x 28mm), the Wccftech reported.

Aside from a few number of details, not much information is known about the upcoming Kaby Lake G processors. However, the crowd can expect the Kaby Lake G processors to be used on embedded and laptop markets. Watch the Youtube video below to learn more about the new Intel Kaby Lake G series.
