If i3, i5, and i7 processors are all dual core processors with Hyper-Threading, equivalent to what used to be called i3 processors, does that mean that when the rest of the range is launched, quad-cores without Hyper-Threading, formerly i5, would be i9, i11, and maybe i14, and quad cores with Hyper-Threading, formerly i7, would now be i15, i17, and i19?
Does anyone know if both HDR10 and Dolby Vision format types are supported by the new 7th-gen media block? I see it has added support for 10-bit HEVC decoding and HDR to SDR tone mapping, but I don't see any information on supported HDR standards. The open standard does up to 10-bit static while the proprietary one does up to 12-bit dynamic.

Use this to remember, Y = Core M because Y did they do such stupid crap. Same with Celeron covering both Broadwell and Braswell.SanX - Sunday, September 4, 2016 - link
Intel is in a total stall.New Moore's-Sanx law: doubling transistor count every 10 years at no performance gain. :-)

LOL 😂 The new naming scheme will create even more confusion for customers.jeffry - Monday, September 5, 2016 - link
Well, i bought a Skylake CPU last year, so wake me up when Cannon Lake goes on sale.barn25 - Wednesday, September 7, 2016 - link
Sigh still no GT3E gpus in the high end nor where its really needed. Intel wonders why sales are dropping.quadibloc - Saturday, September 10, 2016 - link

How come Intel clearly only states "HEVC - 8 bit support" in its data sheet (page 27, chapter 2.2.3 Media Support")?! http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/...
