Not true. I have a PC (Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF) with TPM 2.0 and a CPU (i7-6700) that's definitely not on the supported CPU list, which, for Intel Core CPUs, seems to literally be "number greater than or equal to 8000".
If this is not true, what CPU features do the supported ix-8xxx "Kaby Lake R" and "Kaby Lake G" processors have that the unsupported ix-7xxx "Kaby Lake" processors lack?
The fact that the current supported CPU list for Windows 7[1] excludes all fourth generation and earlier Intel Core CPUs leads me to believe that these lists aren't derived from feature requirements alone, unless Windows 7 requires features that first became available with CPUs released in 2014.
