Recently the tech giant Intel released its brand new fourth generation Intel
Core processors (Haswell) in Taipei at Computex. The new 4th
generation processors mainly target tablets/consoles and Ultrabooks.
These new processors are based on the Intel’s own flagship 22nm
Haswell micro-architecture, which is first of its own kind. It has been
designed mainly for the Ultrabooks, which are the latest trends among the
gadget freaks for sure.
The 4th generation
Intel Core processors can easily deliver better battery life over any other
previous generations of processors. According to the company itself it can
increase the battery life up to 50 percent in active work situations, which is
pretty huge indeed. The company added that it is the best ever generation-over-generation
development and the Ultrabooks that would run the new processors might be able
to enjoy more than 9 hours of battery life without any trouble an active work
scenario.
Intel's latest Core
processors are also the first ever SoCs (system on chip) for personal computers
and various new cool gadgets and devices including the Ultrabooks will be
powered by it in a portable all-in-one and two-in-one designs.
Intel’s own systems that
are relied on the quad-core version of the new 4th generation
processors are also available now in the several key markets worldwide. The
company announced that a few additional versions are too in the cart, and it
will be available to the users in the coming months.
The Intel Core processors
have some cool features as expected like they have built-in Iris graphics of
Intel which can easily offer up to better performance than its previous
generation. Some selected versions of the new Intel Core processors will
feature this awesome GPU credentials.
It has to be added here
that on the last Monday two leading tech companies Acer and Asus had launched
their latest Ultrabooks by announcing that these will be powered on by the 4th
generation Intel Core processor (Haswell). Asus had even unveiled another
device the Transformer Book Trio with a specially designed docking station
empowered by the fourth generation Intel Core i7 processor. Dell had already
announced its XPS 11 which is also supported by the Intel’s latest processors.
According to some market experts Apple too will soon launch a revised Retina
MacBook Pro line up that will eventually be powered by these new processors. We
shouldn’t forget that Nokia is developing its own Tablet along with Lumia EOS.
Tom Kilroy, who is the
current Executive Vice President of Intel, spoke a few things at the event of Computex
Taipei 2013. He said that his company presently has a little more than 50 different
two-in-one design in its carts, including premium Ultrabook 2-in-1s and some
other like this. These designs are mainly powered by the new Intel Core
processors and the company’s upcoming processors which will be offered on the 22nm
Silvermont micro-architecture.
He also hinted that Intel’s
most powerful Intel Atom system-on-chip for tablets, which was previously
codenamed as "Bay Trail-T", will be available later in 2013 during
the Christmas holidays (most probably). The company will also offer its next
generation 22nm quad-core processors at that time, he added. Intel is currently
working on its forthcoming 4G LTE device and its next-generation 22nm Atom SoC,
which was previously codenamed as “Merrifield”, for the latest smartphones.
Here is a small excerpt of
the speech of Mr. Tom Kilroy in the Computex 2013 event in Taipei.
"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.
With the new Intel Core processors introduced
today, our next-generation Atom SoC for tablets and other 22nm products coming
soon, the advances in Intel architecture are accelerating the pace of
innovation, enabling new experiences and powering some of the best mobile
devices coming to market this year.”
