Consumers who are planning to refresh a 4-5-year-old PC will also notice significant improvements: graphics performance up to 12 times better, video conversion speed up to 8 times faster, productivity performance up to 2.5 times faster, wake times 9 times faster, all with up to 2 times longer battery life. The new process, combined with architectural enhancements, enables the 5th Generation Intel Core processors to deliver up to 24 percent better graphics performance, up to 50 percent faster video conversion and battery life that is up to 1.5 hours longer. The 5th Generation Intel Core (U series) processors utilize Intel's new 14nm process technology to improve upon the previous generation Intel Core processor's success with 35 percent more transistors on a 37 percent smaller die. Key benefits of the 5th Generation Intel Core family and the next-generation 14nm processor for tablets include: Customers will introduce new products based on this platform starting in the first half of this year. The platform offers world-class modem capabilities with LTE-Advanced on Intel® XMMTM 726x platform, which supports Cat-6 speeds and carrier aggregation.

The new system on a chip (SoC) offers 64-bit computing, improved graphics with Intel® Generation 8-LP graphics, great performance and battery life for mainstream tablets. Intel also started shipping its next generation 14nm processor for tablets, codenamed 'Cherry Trail', to device manufacturers. With the 5th Generation Intel Core processor availability, the 'Broadwell' microarchitecture is expected to be the fastest mobile transition in company history to offer consumers a broad selection and availability of devices. The 5th Generation Intel Core processor is purpose-built for the next generation of compute devices offering a thinner, lighter and more efficient experience across diverse form factors, including traditional notebooks, 2 in 1s, UltrabooksTM, Chromebooks, all-in-one desktop PCs and mini PCs.

The release of the 5th Generation Intel Core technology includes 14 new processors for consumers and businesses, including 10 new 15W processors with Intel® HD Graphics and four new 28W products with Intel® IrisTM Graphics. The new 5th Generation Intel® CoreTM processor family is Intel's latest wave of 14nm processors, delivering improved system and graphics performance, more natural and immersive user experiences, and enabling longer battery life compared to previous generations.
