These systems won't need the large battery packs their forebears needed to achieve a moderate five-hour battery life. Energy-efficient Haswell processors will allow for thinner, lighter laptops without the performance hit associated with moving to a lower-powered Atom platform. The new mobile processors will come with improved graphics, like the Intel HD Graphics 5000 built into the i7-4650U and i5-4350U.įourth-gen mobile and desktop processors will be energy-efficient, allowing system manufacturers to expand and refine their designs for new product categories like portable All-in-One desktops and hybrid ultrabooks that can detach their screens from the keyboard base so the ultrabook acts like a tablet. For example, the new dual-core mobile processors will include the Core i7-4650U high-end ultrabook processor and the i5-4350U midrange processor. Like previous Ivy Bridge (i3, i5, and i7-3xxx) processors, the new Haswell processors will come with an i3, i5, or i7 brand number followed by a four- to six-digit model number starting with the number 4. 'Tock' refers to a new microarchitecture and 'Tick' means a die (manufacturing) shrink. If you're counting, this is the 'tock' to Ivy Bridge's 'tick' on Intel's tick-tock marketing strategy. Intel's 4th-generation processors are being built on a new 22nm manufacturing process, which was introduced with the 3rd-generation Core processor. In addition to existing form factors and chassis, the new 4th-Generation processors are expected to find their way into new and innovative systems announced at Computex. These 4th-generation Core processors (formerly known as Haswell) will gradually replace last year's 3rd generation Core processors (formerly known as Ivy Bridge) in many of the same system setups and configurations. Leading off this week's Computex trade show in Taiwan, Intel today introduced its new dual-core 4th-generation Core processors for desktop and laptop PCs.
