The fastest Kabylake processor Core i7 7700K will try to stand against the 8 core/ 16 thread ZEN in the early 2017.
It has no chance at all, it will be eaten for breakfast by ZEN in all apps besides the heavily optimized AVX/ AVX2 ones.
Of course Kabylake has an iGPU inside where ZEN 8 core/ 16 thread will be a CPU only SoC.
But that's a problem of Intel to release 8 core CPUs without iGPUs for mainstream Core i7 and not for the High-End Desktop (HEDT) terribly expensive systems only.
