Introducing 6th Generation Intel® Core™, Intel’s Best Processor Ever
- 6th Gen Intel® Core™ processors set a new standard with new, sleek designs that
are thinner than ever, are capable of starting in about half a second , and offer up to
two and a half times the performance and triple the battery life when compared to
the computers many people currently own. - 6th Gen Intel Core processors have been optimized to best run Windows® 10,
enabling new experiences, removing computing pain points and providing more
secure computing. - 6th Gen Intel Core processor family is the most scalable ever for consumers and
businesses, enabling the broadest range of designs from the smallest Intel® Compute
Stick and All-in-One desktops, to 2 in 1s, notebooks and the first-ever Intel® Xeon®
processor for mobile workstations.
SINGAPORE, September 2, 2015 – Today Intel Corporation introduced the 6th
Generation Intel® Core™ processor family, the company’s best processors ever. The
launch marks a turning point in people’s relationship with computers. The 6th Gen Intel
Core processors deliver enhanced performance and new immersive experiences at the
lowest power levels ever and also support the broadest range of device designs – from the
ultra-mobile compute stick, to 2 in 1s and huge high-definition All-in-One desktops, to
new mobile workstations.
There are over 500 million computers in use today that are four to five years old
or older. They are slow to wake, their batteries don’t last long, and they can’t take
advantage of all the new experiences available today. Built on the new Skylake
microarchitecture on Intel’s leading 14nm manufacturing process technology, 6th Gen
Intel Core processors deliver up to two and a half times better performance , triple the
battery life , and graphics that are 30 times better for seamless and smooth gaming and
video experiences versus the average 5-year-old computer. They can also be half as thin
and half the weight, have faster wake up time, and battery life that lasts virtually all day .
“6th Gen Intel Core processors deliver some of the most significant advancements
in computing that we’ve ever seen,” said Kirk Skaugen, Intel senior vice president and
general manager of the Client Computing Group. “New 6th Gen Intel Core-based
systems are more responsive than ever with enhanced performance, battery life and
security. And they can enable amazing new PC experiences like logging into your
computer with your face and having a personal assistant respond to your voice. The
combination of 6th Gen Intel Core processors, Windows 10 and beautiful new systems
from PC manufacturers make this the best time ever to buy a new computer.”
6th Gen Intel Core Powers Range of New Devices
The new 6th Gen Intel Core processor family enables a broad range of designs to
fit virtually every need. Intel® Core™ M processors, which can offer twice the
performance of leading premium tablets, will now include brand levels Intel Core m3,
m5 and m7 processors to provide people with more clarity and choice in finding the Intel
Core M processor-based device that best meets their specific needs. The Intel® Compute
Stick lineup expands to include a version powered by the 6th Gen Intel Core M
processor.
This new generation of Intel processors also includes several firsts for mobile
designs: a mobile “K” SKU that is unlocked to enable overclocking with even more user
control, a new quad-core Intel® Core™ i5 processor that offers up to 60 percent improved
mobile multitasking , and the Intel® Xeon® E3 processor family now powering mobile
workstations. The 6th Gen Intel Core processors deliver significant improvements in
graphics performance to offer stunning visuals for gaming as well as compelling 4K
content creation and media playback. New Intel® Speed Shift technology improves the
responsiveness of mobile systems so people can, for example, apply a photo filter up to
45 percent faster .
In addition, the 6th Gen Intel Core and Intel Xeon platforms will offer a variety of
new features and experiences. More devices will feature Thunderbolt™ 3 for USB TypeC,
enabling one compact port that does it all. A user-facing or world-facing Intel®
RealSense™ Camera will be available on a range of new 6th Gen Intel Core processorbased
2 in 1s, notebooks and All-in-One desktop systems, offering new depth-sensing
capabilities and immersive experiences that allow people to do things like take and share
lifelike 3-D selfies, scan objects and print in 3-D, and easily remove and change their
background during a video chat.
The 6th Gen Intel Core platform will also advance Intel’s “no wires” initiative to
deliver the best experience for wireless display available today with Intel® WiDi or Pro
WiDi. This technology allows people to easily share from their computer to a TV,
monitor or projector without the mess of wires and dongles.
The 6th Gen Intel Core processor family helps optimize Windows® 10 features
such as Cortana* and Windows Hello* for more seamless and natural interaction with
technology. Devices with the Intel RealSense Camera paired with Windows Hello let
people securely log in using facial recognition. True Key™ technology by Intel Security
is also available on many 6th Gen Intel Core processor-based systems to deliver a secure
experience for logging into devices and websites without the need to remember each
site’s password.
Coming Soon: Intel® Iris™ Graphics, Intel® vPro™ for business, and products for
IoT
In the coming months, Intel plans to deliver more than 48 processors in the 6th
Gen Intel Core processor family, featuring Intel® Iris™ and Iris Pro graphics, as well as
Intel Xeon E3-1500M processor family for mobile workstations and 6th Gen Intel®
vPro™ processors for business and enterprises. A variety of devices across a wide range of form factors will be available now and over the coming months from manufacturers
around the world. In addition, Intel is offering more than 25 products for the Internet of
Things (IoT) with up to 7-year long-life supply and error correcting code (ECC) at
multiple TDP levels. Retail, medical, industrial, and digital surveillance and security
industries will all benefit from the new 6th Gen Intel Core processor improvements and
includes IoT designs from the edge to the cloud.
