  I suspect noone actually pays the list prices of mobile chips. And usually the prices don't make much sense, with everything costing just the same.

  And does anyone know if Meltdown and Spectre have been fixed in this newest generation CPU?

  This is mostly a refresh with more cores in the i5 and up. Most of the plans were in place prior to the flaws becoming news. Expect real architecture fixes Q4 2018 and later. For now it's on the software, compiler, and OS developers to lock down code that needs it.

  So... At this point what defining characteristic categorizes a CPU as an i3, i5 or i7? I'm a little lost on that point.

  "Binning"

  There is no one defining characteristic, because they're purely marketing terms and the meaning changes from one power tier to the next and one generation to the next.

  The article mentions something about a "Kaby Lake Refresh 2+2 design". Is that referring to the second die? Either way, what is it?
