The first personal computers powered by Intel's Kaby Lake 7th Generation Core chips are expected to be show cased at IDF, but HP's maintenance documents contain a lot of new information about the Skylake successor.

HP's Pavilion x360 m1 convertible PC can be used either as a tablet or a laptop. The hybrid device can be configured with Intel's dual-core Core i3-7100U working at a speed of 2.40GHz. The processor comes with 3 MB of cache and consumes 15 watts of power.

But all this tells us about  the capabilities of Intel's other Kaby Lake chips. The Core i3-7100U features an HD Graphics 620 processor capable of DirectX 12 gaming. It also comes with built-in high-definition video decoding.and Intel has confirmed it can manage 4K video.

HP's Pavilion x360 m1 convertible machine can also be configured with an upcoming Celeron or Pentium processor code-named Apollo Lake. Both the Celeron and Pentium versions of the Apollo Lake chip a consume only six watts of power which should mean a long battery life.

Intel's Apollo Lake CPUs are based on the Goldmont architecture originally designed for Atom CPUs. For the HP Pavilion x360 m are available Apollo Lake chip options based on Celeron and Pentium. The Pentium N4200 runs at a speed of 1.1GHz, but can be overclocked up to 2.5GHz. The Apollo Lake based on the Celeron N3350 can go up to a working frequency of 2.4GHz. Both Intel Apollo Lake chips come with 2 MB of L2 cache of L2 cache.
