Well if you look around, people are getting 5 GHz with significantly lower voltages than on Skylake. 

 

I've been through about 20 7700k CPUs to date and I've only had a few that sucked and wouldn't do 5 GHz without excessive voltage.  I've had a few that break 5.2/5.3 with delidding.

 

In addition to the lower voltage, efficiency has increased nicely.  A 7700k at 5 GHz runs as much current across the chip as a 6700k at 4.7 GHz.

I'd probably get Skylake over Kaby Lake anyway.  Kaby Lake runs hotter.

Ah, then it's probably the IHS or TIM.

 

More processing is occurring in the same size CPU with similar IHS.  It's going to get warmer.  It's faster.
