Intel has launched a raft of 14nm processors at CES, with the devices targeted at PCs and tablets.The roll out of 5th Generation Intel Core technology includes 10 processors with Intel HD Graphics consuming 15W and four 28W products with Intel's Iris Graphics. Intel also announced that it is shipping 14nm processors for tablets. The SoCs, previously called 'Cherry Trail', are said to offer 64bit computing and improved graphics performance from Intel Generation 8-LP graphics, as well as better battery life for mainstream tablets.
The 5th Generation Intel Core processors use 14nm process technology to improve upon the previous generation Intel Core processors, featuring 35% more transistors on a die which is 37% smaller.
According to Intel, the new process, combined with architectural enhancements, enables the new processors to deliver up to 24% better graphics performance, up to 50% faster video conversion and battery life that is up to 1.5 hours longer.
