Intel's Cannonlake Is Delayed Until Possibly 2017, Welcome "Kaby Lake"
A "tock" that looks more like a "tick" for 10nm chipset CPUs.
Apparently, the 10nm die shrink for Skylake, the Cannonlake, will be replaced - read delayed - by the larger-still "Kaby Lake" chipset.
Changing its roadmap, again, Intel has postponed the Cannonlake 10nm production for a larger 14nm chipset. Featuring two or four cores and including a new integrated graphics engine, the "Kaby Lake" will also have a dual-channel memory controller and 256MB of on-package cache to speed up the graphics workloads.

Stagnating process
Information is scarce about the new chipset, and except that it'll run on 14nm die shrink, it's quite unknown whether it will have a new micro-architecture or it will support AVX-512 instructions.
[...]
Looking at the available specs, it's very possible, though, that all "Kaby Lake" models except the S series will be another Broadwell as the die size and supporting memory type suggest it. Either Intel is betting all its money on its 14nm technology, hoping for practical and financial reasons to delay the 10nm "tock" advancement in favor of a universal die size, or it didn't fully develop the 10nm "mini-Skylake" architecture, delaying it without having to deal with revenues loss in case no technical advancements are made.
