Desktop Kaby Lake Processor Launch Details Leaked!
It’s All Happening At CES 2017!
We can now confirm that Intel will announce the desktop Kaby Lake processors and Intel 200 Series chipsets on January 4 at CES 2017. The news conference will be held from 4:00 to 4:45 PM at the Mandalay Bay Ballroom E, but the media NDA is set to 1 AM, Pacific Standard Time on January 5, 2017.

Hopefully, for brand new Mac Pro with brand new Apple Thunderbolt Display 24-inch.

Since Apple publicly discontinued the Thunderbolt display this past Summer, why do you think they will launch a new display?

So I wouldn't be surprised to see a 95W Kaby Lake quad-core i7 CPU in the next iMac.

The i5 have much lower TDP... ~60W.

The difference in TDP is more about a "K" processor vs. a "non-K" one. This is mostly OC headroom, so the CPU won't run into the power limit when increasing the clock speed.

My i5-6600K doesn't get nowhere near its spec'ed 91W at stock clocks under full load (e.g. x264 encode). Even with a slight OC and Prime95 "Small FFTs" torturing it stays a few watts below its TDP. I wouldn't expect the i7-7700K to behave differently, it's basically the same thing on a slightly improved process.

I was simply replying to the earlier comment: "a 95W CPU is not for the iMac for sure"

My thinking is... Apple has put a 91W CPU in the iMac... so it wouldn't be weird if they put in a 95W CPU.

Also, they are no-longer listed for sale on any Apple Stores.

Thanks, but that is Jason Snell from sixcolors (and macworld magazine), not Apple. As far as I know, Apple has not officially said that. Yes, I know the source is quite reliable and Apple displays are not listed in Apple Stores, but they are very old. That is why there is a possibility of a new Thunderbolt 3 display from Apple. Hope, I know...

Does this mean new Mac Pros in march 2017?

It could be yes with this:

Trio of new AMD GPU references for possible Mac refresh found in latest macOS Sierra beta

And hopefully Intel will reveal new microprocessors for Mac Pro at CES 2017 (5th January 2017):

Well the code may show that but it could be for iMac or whatever. Just like how El Capitan had a code for "nmp" what happened? Nothing.
nmp will be determined by Tim Cook. I haven't seen any concrete evidence for nmp.

The Mac Pro uses Xeons. Skylake Xeons suitable for it will be out in August at the earliest.

In my opinion this isn't much more than a sign that Apple has updated the driver codebase, now including some basic definitions for yet to be released GPUs. You'll find similar references for virtually any AMD GPU, no matter if it was ever supported by Apple or not.

Things start getting interesting when chunks of real code are found, e.g. device specific functions in the graphics driver (that didn't happen yet).

You can't honestly believe Apple will produce another standalone display, right?!?!?

https://www.macrumors.com/2016/06/23/apple-discontinues-thunderbolt-display/

The story already linked to you plus the story from June (above) shows Apple telling folks to get lost and find a third party display someplace else. In November, Apple announced the 4k and 5k LG displays they collaborated on to help pitch the new MacBook Pro. You don't honestly think a company would sales pitch and sell it's (potential) chief competitor if they had plans to launch their own display, right? Wake up.
