10 Things Partners Need To Know About Intel's Core vPro Processor

14-Nanometer Processor
Intel's vPro model is based on its seventh-generation Kaby Lake processors, released in 2016.
These 14-nanometer processors target the user experience with a tightened focus on 4K UHD.
Kaby Lake will have the same design as Skylake, representing a break in Intel's "tick-tock" schedule; while the "tick" symbolizes a reproduction in node size, "tock" represents a new architecture.
Although Intel has been utilizing its "tick-tock" schedule since 2007, delays occurred last year. Its 14-nanometer Broadwell chips were pushed behind schedule as chips become smaller and more difficult to manufacture in a hyper-competitive semiconductor industry.
