Intel kills Kaby Lake G, vows to offer drivers for five years

When Kaby Lake G debuted at CES 2018, it made a big bang. No one expected sworn rivals Intel and AMD to collaborate on a CPU package, marrying  a 7th-gen Kaby Lake CPU with a unique AMD Radeon RX Vega GPU. 

But what began with a bang ended Monday with an unceremonious memo. First noticed by Paul Alcorn of Tom’s Hardware, the Product Change Notification published by Intel on Monday confirmed that pretty much every single Kaby Lake G, including the Core i7-8706G, the  Core i7-8705G, and the Core i5-8305G, would be discontinued.
