Intel 8th Generation Core processors announced
Intel 8th Generation Core processors announced
Intel has announced its latest 8th generation Intel Core processor family that promises to offer up to 40 percent speed boost over the previous 7th generation Kaby Lake processor, while multi-tasking, and up to 2.3x faster than a 5-year-old system. The first members of the 8th-generation chip family are not Coffe Lake chips, as previously expected, and is simply called "Kaby Lake refresh", and are aimed at ultrathin notebooks and 2-in-1s.
The 8th-generation core family are quad-core chips based on Kaby Lake architecture and 14nm+ process technology and gets optimzations, and design improvements. The chip maker announced four new U-series 15W processor: the Core i7-8650U, Core i7-8550U, Core i5-8350U and Core i5-8250U.
The base model Core i5-8250U will run at 1.6GHz, with boost clock of 3.4GHz, while the fastest Core i7-8650U will run at 1.9GHz, with boost clock of 4.2GHz. The cache sizes are 6MB on Core i5 processor and 8MB on Core i7 processor, and only the Core i7 models will support Hyper-Threading. They will be intergrated with Intel UHD Graphics 620, with the GPUs of Core i5 models running at 1.1Ghz and Core i7 at 1.15GHz.
According to Intel, users can expect up to 10 hours of 4K UHD local video playback on a single charge. Tasks such as photo editing and creating a slideshow, are up to 48 percent faster, and editing video footage is up to 14.7x faster than the previous generation processor.
Intel says the first wave of 8th Gen Intel Core processor-powered devices featuring i5/i7 processors will come to market beginning in September, and 145 laptop models can be expected. It also said first desktop processors codenamed Coffee lake is coming in the fall, followed by the 10nm products codenamed Canon Lake.

Intel Core M Skylake coming to compete with 6 1mm of iPad Air 2
Intel CEO, Brian Krzanich, has confirmed that the new Intel Core M with architecture Skylake will arrive in the second half of the year. Enable winning tablet Windows thin models with mobile platforms
Brian Krzanich Intel has confirmed that the new Intel Core M microarchitecture-based Skylake will arrive in the second half of the year. The company’s goal is to offer partners the opportunity to implement on tablet and ultrabook form factor with thicknesses even lower and help extend the operating range of the products on the market.
Intel launched the first Core M based on 14nm Broadwell last September, allowing third-party manufacturers to showcase their proposals with new technology at CES 2015 in Las Vegas. The first products came on the market in recent weeks with renewed form factor significantly compared to the past, and with a dissipation system completely without fans or active parts.
The Core M Skylake allow extremes even more the concept of tablet Windows, making it more similar to products that have mobile platform, such as iOS or Android. Specifically, Krzanich has argued that it can produce devices that can compete with 6.1mm of iPad Air 2 with new technologies, where today the tablet Core M thinner stops to 7,2mm.
But Skylake not just mean thickness and low power consumption, but also a substantial performance boost both on computational and graphical. The new processors should be able to reach the performance of Haswell ULV traditionally used in previous generations of tablet and ultrabook, enterprise not entirely successful at current Core M Broadwell.
New technologies are not naturally compatible only with Windows: Windows 10 will naturally be supported, but also Google Chrome OS and Android. Among the most interesting innovations are native support for Intel RealSense 3D second generation, allowing us to use the camera to recognize gestures and the face of the user.
