Even though the Intel Kaby Lake desktop processors aren't expected to be introduced until early 2017, the first pre-order page has already hit the web.

An Estonian website lists the Intel Core i7 7700Kfor 360.35EUR. This will be the flagship model of the Kaby Lake desktop lineup, it's a quad-core part with a 4.20GHz base clockspeed, a 4.5GHz Turbo, 95W TDP and 8MB L3 cache.

The chip sticks with LGA1151 and may be compatible with most 100-series motherboards. Kaby Lake will not be a major upgrade, but it will be made on a 14nm+ process, which promises up to 12 percent higher performance versus Intel's initial 14nm node.
