Intel as of late reported the seventh era of their processors, denoting a conclusive end to the "tick-tock" procedure that they have been utilizing for a considerable length of time. Tick tock was a methodology where Intel used to exchange between assembling processors on a littler pass on (tick), and overhauling the engineering of the processors (tock). To place that in context, Intel's fifth era Broadwell processors were the "tick", and the sixth era Skylake processors were the "tock". The time had come, then, for Intel to move to another "tick", and such was the arrangement. Intel was initially anticipating moving from Skylake to Cannonlake, by utilizing a 10nm procedure, however delays made Intel discharge another "tock" rather, which is the reason we are seeing Kaby Lake processors, utilizing the same 14nm process, with a few enhancements to enhance their execution over the Skylake processors.
