5th Gen Intel® Core™ processor family is Intel’s latest wave of 14nm processors,

        The new 5th Generation Intel® Core™ 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. 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® Iris™ Graphics. 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, Ultrabooks™, Chromebooks, all-in-one desktop PCs and mini PCs. 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.

       Intel also started shipping its next 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 5th Generation Intel Core family and the next-generation 14nm processor for tablets include:

Powerful Performance. 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.

Power Efficient. Even Longer Battery Life. Intel continues to drive battery life improvements, and the newest processor family raises the bar yet again. With power management and design improvements, plus the increased efficiency of Intel’s 14nm manufacturing process, consumers get up to 1.5 hours.

Watch. Game. Create with Intel Graphics. The 5th Generation Intel Core processor family brings the next evolution in processor graphics architecture enabling new levels of performance and power efficiency paired with Intel’s leading CPU technology. The new 5th Generation Intel Core processor  family offers graphics options including Intel® HD Graphics 5500, HD Graphics 6000 and Intel® Iris™ Graphics 6100.

Internet of Things. Intel’s 5th Generation Intel Core processors are also available to power the growing Internet of Things (IoT), particularly in such vertical segments as retail, manufacturing and medical.

More Natural and Immersive Experiences. The performance of 5th Generation Intel Core processors provides the foundation for great user experiences today and in the future. When paired with Intel® RealSense™ 3D technology.

Line-Up and Availability. The new 5th Generation Intel Core processor family includes the Intel® Core™ i3, Intel® Core™ i5, Intel® Core™ i5 vPro™, Intel® Core™ i7, and Intel® Core™ i7 Pro™ processors. New Intel® Pentium® and Intel® Celeron® processors, also based on the 14nm process, are now available. 5th Generation Intel 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.
