Are there any known issues in running an Intel i7-7700 processor and Intel HD Graphics 630?

I am planning a new PC build and would like to know if the most current generation of intel processors is supported, specifically the integrated graphics as I don't have a need for a dedicated GPU. So far all I can tell is that 16.04 will not work, 16.10 might (?).

What issues could be expected?

I understand that the latest kernel maybe necessary, is it worth waiting for the next Ubuntu release? The availability of the previous generation of intel's processors is dwindling so I'm a bit stuck as to what to do.

Any help greatly appreciated, I have had no luck in the UbuntuWiki so far. Is there a specific topic I could run in my searches here or elsewhere? Has anyone had success with this setup?

Just general advice I'd give is to wait for the next release, as older kernels will most certainly not function. The 17.04 builds are running well (for unstable) on a couple Kaby Lake systems of mine, as well as Ryzen. I personally don't think using 16.10 would be the best move, as it is still a little older, but also because 17.04 is less than a month away, and will have more support as well as knowledge base on this topic in particular.
