Improved support for 4K content and virtual reality, thanks to its energy efficiency will allow laptops less than 10 mm thick
Intel today unveiled officially renewal of its PC processors, which come to replace Skylake, and enliven the seventh generation of processors Core ( i3, i5 or i7, depending on performance); It is also the third step in the new update rate processor; Intel historically applied a rate of two steps (new architecture, then a refinement of it, and back again), but now extends times three instances.
Kaby Lake is, as Skylake, a chip made with 14 nanometer technology, and is aimed, above all, notebooks and equipment 2 in 1 (notebooks that turn into tablets). In addition to overall improvements in performance, processor, according to Intel, more efficient when processing content at 4K resolution and video at 360 degrees, and improve support for virtual reality (where Intel seeks to have, from the year next, a leading role).
the company says the new processors are ten times more efficient than the first Core processor (measuring performance per watt consumed), against 8 times more efficiently than has Core 6th generation. And this reduced energy consumption (and do not require fans to cool the chip) will create notebooks less than 10 mm thick, which hit the market later this year. The HP Spectre, the thinnest so far is 10.4 mm.
and AMD? The company is completing its new Zen platform that says, offers 40% more performance than the previous generation, with a maximum consumption of 100 watts (TDP) against 140 watts of Intel Broadwell-E; in fact the company insists that energy efficiency is a key point in the design of the chip, partly because it no longer has a mobile line and another for desktop, to focus all their efforts into a single family of processors. This new architecture of AMD, however, will not be available until early 2017.
