These are finally the much-waited Intel Processors that will power our Windows 10 laptops and MacBooks in 2016, supporting Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C technology. Intel’s new Skylake 14nm microarchitecture is delivered in different series, increases battery life multiple times and adds up to 2,5 times performance improvements.
There are over 500 million computers in use today that are four to five years old or older. They are slow to wake, their batteries don’t last long, and they can’t take advantage of all the new experiences available today. Above all, they are not able to run new generation 64-bit operating systems and do not support the brand-new connecting technologies like Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C.
In development for more than four years, 6th Gen Intel Core processors set a new standard with new, sleek designs that are thinner than ever, are capable of starting in about half a second, and offer up to two and a half times the performance and triple the battery life when compared to the most recent computers we currently own.
The 6th Gen Intel Core processor family and Intel Xeon processors for mobile workstations will include 48 new processors for immediate availability:Five 4.5W Intel Core Y-series processors for small-screen 2 in 1 detachables and 2 in 1 convertibles.
Ten 15W and four 28W Intel Core U-series processors for 2 in 1 convertibles and ultra-thin clamshells.
Six 45W Intel Core H-series processors for thin clamshells and large-screen notebooks.
One 45W Intel Core H-series unlocked mobile K SKU for enthusiast notebooks.
Two 45W Intel Xeon processors for mobile workstations.
Ten 65W and eight 35W Intel Core S-series processors for gaming towers, stationary All-in-Ones, and mini PCs.
Two 91W desktop Intel Core S-series processors for overclockers and gaming enthusiasts.
The new Intel Core processors have been optimized to best run Windows 10, removing computing pain points and providing more secure computing. According to Intel, these 6th Generation Core processor family is the most scalable ever for consumers and businesses, enabling the broadest range of designs from the smallest Intel Compute Stick and All-in-One desktops, to 2 in 1s, notebooks and the first-ever Intel Xeon processor for mobile workstations.
Intel’s new processor family marks a turning point in people’s relationship with computers, enhancing performance and allowing new immersive experiences at the lowest power levels ever. Built on the new Skylake microarchitecture on Intel’s 14nm manufacturing process technology, the new processors deliver up to two and a half times better performance, triple the battery life, and graphics that are 30 times better, versus the average 5-year-old computer.
“6th Gen Intel Core processors deliver some of the most significant advancements in computing that we’ve ever seen,” says Kirk Skaugen, Intel senior vice president and general manager of the Client Computing Group. ”The combination of 6th Gen Intel Core processors, Windows 10 and beautiful new systems from PC manufacturers make this the best time ever to buy a new computer.”
New Intel processor series
The new 6th Gen Intel Core processor family supports a broad range of designs, starting with new Intel Core M processors, which can offer twice the performance of leading premium tablets, and now include Intel Core m3, m5 and m7 processors to provide more clarity and choice in finding the device that best meets specific user needs. The Intel Compute Stick lineup expands to include a version powered by the 6th Gen Intel Core M processor.
This new generation of Intel processors also includes several firsts for mobile designs: a mobile “K-series” that is unlocked to enable overclocking with even more user control, a new quad-core Intel Core i5 processor that offers up to 60 percent improved mobile multitasking, and the Intel Xeon E3 processor family for mobile workstations. These new processors deliver significant improvements in graphics performance for gaming as well as 4K content creation and media playback. New Intel Speed Shift technology improves the responsiveness of mobile systems so people can, for example, apply a photo filter up to 45 percent faster.
In addition, the 6th Gen Intel Core and Intel Xeon platforms will feature Thunderbolt 3 for USB Type-C, enabling one compact port that does it all and will finally support external graphic systems at the same speed as integrated solutions. A user-facing or world-facing Intel RealSense Camera will be available on a range of new 6th Gen Intel Core processor-based 2 in 1s, notebooks and All-in-One desktop systems, offering new depth-sensing capabilities and immersive experiences that allow people to do things like scan objects and print in 3-D, and easily remove and change their background during a video chat.
The 6th Gen Intel Core platform will also advance Intel’s “no wires” initiative to deliver wireless displays with Intel WiDi or Pro WiDi. This technology allows people to easily share the screen from their computers to a TV, monitor or projector without wires and dongles. True Key technology by Intel Security is also available on many 6th Gen Intel Core processor-based systems to deliver secure logging into devices and websites without the need to remember each site’s password.
In the coming months, Intel plans to deliver more than 48 processors in the 6th Gen Intel Core processor family, featuring Intel Iris and Iris Pro graphics, as well as Intel Xeon E3-1500M processor family for mobile workstations and 6th Gen Intel vPro processors for business and enterprises. A variety of devices across a wide range of form factors will be available now and over the coming months from manufacturers around the world.
In addition, Intel is offering more than 25 products for the Internet of Things (IoT) with up to 7-year long-life supply and error correcting code (ECC) at multiple TDP levels. Retail, medical, industrial, and digital surveillance and security industries will all benefit from the new 6th Gen Intel Core processor improvements and includes IoT designs from the edge to the cloud.
