Processor "Broadwell U" from Intel finally began emerging. Unsparing, the manufacturer announced the 14 models of family Broadwell chips aka Core-i in the fifth generation of the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2015 held in Las Vegas, US this week.
As quoted from Engadget, Tuesday (01/06/2014), most of the 14 model is a model of laptop and desktop chips for power saving of the series Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 is equipped with an integrated graphics processor Iris Graphics .
To distinguish it from the previous generation, a row of Broadwell model number or Core i processors fifth generation begins with the number "5", for example Core i7-5650U. As for the letter "U" (Ultra-low voltage) on the back shows its status as a power-efficient processors.
In addition, Intel also expanding series Pentium and Celeron processors by introducing a number of new models for budget class laptop.
The entire processor Intel announced by this time a dual-core models with logical thread as much as two or four pieces. Broadwell models with four-core (quad-core) or more is still yet to be seen.
Broadwell is a family of chips with the latest technology from Intel that is made with 14nm fabrication process, shrink from its predecessor, Haswell, which uses 22nm fabrication.
Broadwell power usage was claimed to be more efficient so that is claimed to extend battery life (on a laptop) 20 to 30 percent longer than Haswell. Although more power efficient, Broadwell graphics processing unit is called to offer performance up to 22 percent higher than its predecessor.
The first is a series Broadwell Model Core M chip for laptop device "hybrid" 2-in-1 were introduced around the middle of last year.
