    Anyone know if it will be possible?

    If Kaby Lake happens to run a lot cooler than the 6700k, it would be nice if it was possible to upgrade. I just noticed downclocking the CPU to 3Ghz makes the laptop so much quieter. (Still haven't got it to downclock core 0 for some reason). Only use the downclock when I prefer silence over performance.

    I've got a desktop with a 4670k that could use this 6700k so it wouldn't go to waste. Obviously the desktop would need a new motherboard, and probably RAM too. But, I've also got another desktop that is stuck with 4Gb RAM atm that could use the DD3 from the 4670k. So I'd get 3 upgraded machines, could be worth it.

    Possible: yes. Same 1151 socket. The BIOS support is up to Clevo.

    You cant change the 6700k with the 4670k. It wont fit the motherboard, the pin count is different.

    I would be shocked if DM1/DM2 and DM3 machines didn't support Kaby Lake.

    The real question is, are we going to see Cannonlake support. :cool:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannonlake

    Cannonlake is supposed to be a 10nm die-shrink of Kaby Lake and used with 200-series chipsets on the same socket 1151 part of the "Process-Achitecture-Optimization" cycle.

    How accurate that is, I don't know.

    yes, but im betting that info was still from the time BEFORE intel decided to change their tick tock cycle to PAO ;) just think about it: THREE cpu gens on the same socket? blasphemy! no option to milk the customers! :eek:

    There are 2 parts of Kaby Lake architecture: 1st is CPU ie 7700K and 2nd is KBL chipset Z270
    Technically any SKL platform is capable to support 7700K subject to proper BIOS and EC.
