These are effectively i3/i5s there is no Kaby Lak SP/X (well there is technicall X but these are 2-4 core CPUs which isn’t a traditional
X class) and it’s not coming the 2018 refresh is Cascade Lake which is annoying since you’ll have Coffe, Canon and Cascade Lake all the the same time so I’m guessing it will be CFL, CNL and CSL not confusing at all.

Those don't compete with AMD EPYC or Xeon Scalable Processors, but are low end server processors and workstation quad core parts.
Intel's marketing, naturally, makes knowing what their current product lines are extremely confusing.
Kaby Lake will most likely won’t appear in Xeons and the next refresh will be either Coffelake or Canonlake.
This time around there is also a big difference between Skylake S/SP and Skylake this isn’t Haswell where the only difference was the corecount.
Skylake S/SP has a different FPU structure AVX512 and SIMD CD support as well as a new core to core fabric interconnect and a few other changes.
