The Next Generation of Computing Has Arrived: Performance to Power Amazing Experiences

The new5thGenerationIntel® Core™ processor familyis Intels latest wave of14nm processors, delivering improved system and graphics performance, more natural and immersive user experiences, and enabling longer battery life compared to previous generations. The release of the 5^thGeneration Intel Core technology includes 14new processors for consumers and businesses, including 10new 15W processors withInteland four new 28W products withIntel® Iris™ Graphics. The 5^thGeneration 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 traditionalnotebooks,2 in 1s,Ultrabooks™,Chromebooks,one desktopPCs andmini PCs. With the 5^thGeneration Intel Core processor availability, the “Broadwell” micro architecture is expected to be the fastest mobile transition in company history to offer consumers broad selection and availability of devices.

Intel also started shipping itsnext generation 14nm processor for tablets, codenamed “Cherry Trail”,to device manufacturers. 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. The platform offers world-class modem capabilities with LTE-Advanced on Intel® XMM™ 726x platform, which supports Cat-6 speeds and carrier aggregation. Customers will introduce new products based on this platform starting in the first half of this year.

Key benefits of the 5^thGeneration Intel Core family and the next-generation 14nm processor for tablets include:

Powerful Performance.The 5^thGenerationIntel Core (U series) processors utilize Intels new 14nm process technology to improve upon the previous generation Intel Core processors success with 35 percent more transistors on a 37 percent smaller die.The new process, combined with architectural enhancements,enables the 5^thGenerationIntel 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 longer¹. 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 to2.5 times faster, wake times9 times faster, all with up to 2 times longer battery life².

Power Efficient. Even Longer Battery Life.Intel continues to drivebattery life improvements, and the newest processor family raises the bar yet again. With power management and design improvements, plus the increased efficiency of Intels 14nm manufacturing process; consumers get up to 1.5 hours more battery life³than the previous 4^thGenerationIntel Core (U series) processors. The result is more power and performance without sacrificing battery life.

Watch. Game. Create with Intel Graphics.The 5^thGeneration Intel Core processor family brings the next evolution in processor graphics architecture enabling new levels of performance and power efficiency paired with Intels leading CPU technology. The new 5^thGenerationIntel Core processor family offers graphics options including Intel® HD Graphics 5500, HD Graphics 6000 and Intel® Iris™ Graphics 6100. All of these provide stunning visuals and enable 4K Ultra HD display, including over Intel WiDi 5.1⁴.Additional platform features include enhanced new codec decode support for VP8, VP9 and HEVC, as well as support for the latest graphics APIs (DX 11.2, DX 12 Ready) and graphics programmability features, including OpenCL 2.0 and OpenGL 4.3. Intel Iris Graphics includes these features plus significantly better 3D performance compared to Intel HD Graphics 5500 processors.

Whether playing the latest mainstream game, watching videos in 4K Ultra HD, or simply sharing your latest game play and video creations with family, Intel HD and Iris graphics deliver an eye-popping visual experience.

Internet of Things.Intels 5^thGeneration Intel Core processors are also available to power the growingInternet of Things (IoT), particularly in such vertical segments as retail, manufacturing and medical. Thanks to Intels leading 14nm process technology and architecture, the 5^thGeneration IntelCore processor is designed to deliver enhanced graphics and increased performance in a smaller thermal envelope, supporting the next generation of IoT solutions, while maintaining compatibility with previous generations. The improved capabilities and security features can power end-to-end IoT solutions to deliver customer benefits and business insights.

More Natural and Immersive Experiences.The performance of 5^thGeneration Intel Core processors provides the foundation for great user experiences today and in the future.When paired withIntel® Real Sense™ 3D technology, no wires and no passwords capabilities, and voice assistants, the 5^thGeneration Intel Core processors enable more natural and interactive user experiences. Intel RealSense 3D technology brings features like gesture control, 3D capture and edit, and innovative photo and video capabilities to devices. With a vision for a “no wires” experience,Intel® Wireless Display (WiDi) v.5.1and WiGig wireless docking provide users more control over their experience by allowing them to compute and share from virtually anywhere without the clutter of wires and cords. Intels voice assistant technology allows the user to control your PC within the browser and enabled apps using voice commands, and now includes Wake on Voice⁵technology to awake your PC with just the sound of your voice.

Intels 14nm, next-generation Intel Atom processor for tablets, “Cherry Trail”, will offer new user experiences such as Intel Real Sense technology, no wires, no passwords and Intel® Context Aware™ technology capabilities, bringing new innovation and excitement to tablets. Intel Real Sense Snapshot provides depth-sensing photo capabilities, giving people the power to change focus, take measurements, and add dynamic effects and motion to pictures with a touch of a finger. With its no wires capabilities, Cherry Trail enables tablets to wirelessly display content to a big screen or projector. Cherry Trail will also enable users to login with their face, fingerprint ora trusted device they assigned. Using an accelerometer, sound and light sensors, and information from the cloud, Intel Context Aware technology can determine the context or environment someone is in and provide information based on those surroundings.

Line-Up and Availability.The new5^thGeneration Intel Core processor family includes theIntel® Core™ i3,Intel® Core™ i5,Intel® Core™ i5 vPro™,Intel® Core™ i7, andIntel® Core™ i7 vPro™processors. New Intel® Pentium® and Intel® Celeron® processors, also based on the 14nm process, are now available.5^thGenerationIntel Core processor-based systems from a variety of manufacturers are expected to arrive in January. Devices based on the “Cherry Trail” platform are expected in the first half of 2015. For more information, visitwww.intel.com.
