Intel Unveils Fourth Generation Intel Core Processors
Intel has released
new fourth generation Intel Core processors (Haswell) at Computex in Taipei,
through which it's targeting PC/ tablet hybrids and Ultrabooks. The processors
designed primarily for Ultrabooks, are based on the company's flagship 22nm
Haswell micro-architecture. According to Intel, the fourth generation Intel
Core processors deliver a 50 percent increase in battery life in active
workloads over the previous generation. This is the largest
generation-over-generation gain, equating to over 9 hours of battery life in
active workloads for some Ultrabooks based on the new processors, as per the
company. Intel's newest Core processors are the first SoCs(system on chip) for
PCs and power a variety of new devices, including Ultrabooks, two-in-one and
portable all-in-one designs. Systems based on the quad-core version of the new
Core processors are available now, with additional versions available in the
coming months. The fourth generation Intel Core processors also have built-in
Intel Iris graphics which according to Intel, deliver up to 2 times the
performance of Intel's prior generation. This GPU will be offered on select
versions of the new Intel Core processors. On Monday, Asus and Acer had
unveiled new Ultrabooks powered by the fourth generation Intel Core (Haswell)
processor. Asus had also announced the Transformer Book Trio with a docking
station powered by the 4th generation Intel Core i7 processor. The Dell XPS 11
is also powered by the 4th generation Intel Core processor. Apple is also
expected to launch a refreshed Retina MacBook Pro line-up featuring Haswell
processors.
Speaking at Computex
Taipei 2013, Executive Vice President, Tom Kilroy said Intel has more than 50
different 2-in-1 designs in the pipeline across a range of price points,
including premium Ultrabook 2-in-1s powered by the new Intel Core processors,
and other designs powered by forthcoming processors based on the company's 22nm
Silvermont micro-architecture. "Today we deliver on the vision set forth 2
years ago to reinvent the laptop with the introduction of our fourth generation
Intel Core processors that were designed from the ground up for the Ultrabook
and serve as the foundation for a new era of 2-in-1 computing," said
Kilroy. "We made one of the most seismic changes to our roadmap ever to
build these new Core processors that deliver the stunning performance of the PC
and the mobility of a tablet in one device. The new processors power the most
exciting 2-in-1 designs to-date. "He also indicated that Intel's
next-generation 22nm quad-core and most powerful Intel Atom system-on-chip
(codenamed "Bay Trail-T") for tablets will be coming later this year
during the holidays (around December). He also talked about the company's
forthcoming 4G LTE multimode solution and its next-generation 22nm Atom SoC
(codenamed "Merrifield") for smartphones. He also demonstrated a
smartphone reference design platform based on "Merrifield," Intel's
next-generation 22nm Atom SoC for smartphones that will deliver increased
performance and battery life. The platform includes an integrated sensor hub
for personalized services, as well as capabilities for data, device and privacy
protection.
