Well, the only thing that catches my eye here is the support for newer Intel PCHs.
Skylake (Purley) servers exist, so I would assume that RHEL would need to support these chipsets.
Wireless, GPUs etc - that’s something different.
Of course, there’s always SLES (or SLED, in the OPs case), which has a somewhat more recent kernel, AFAIK - if we’re playing „Anything but Ubuntu“.
;-)
The above beta came out in May. So I’d hazard a guess and say it’ll be late autumn before we see a release and I’d hope for a pre-christmas CentOS 7.4 release….
