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.
According to Intel, the 5th Generation Intel Core processor is purpose-built for the next generation devices offering a thinner, lighter and more efficient experience across different form factors, including traditional notebooks, 2 in 1s, Ultrabooks, Chromebooks, all-in-one desktop PCs and mini PCs.
The 5th Generation Intel Core (U series) processors utilize Intel's 14nm process technology to improve upon the previous generation Intel Core processor's success with 35% more transistors on a 37% smaller die, as per the company.
The new process enables the 5th Generation Intel Core 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, as claimed by Intel.
Intel also announced that it has started shipping its next generation 14nm processor for tablets, codenamed "Cherry Trail", to device manufacturers. The system on a chip (SoC) offers 64-bit computing, improved graphics, enhanced performance and battery life for tablets. The platform offers LTE-Advanced connectivity on Intel XMMTM 726x platform, supporting Cat-6 speeds and carrier aggregation. Intel's OEM partners will introduce new products based on this platform starting in the first half of this year.
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 vPro processors. New Intel Pentium and Intel Celeron processors, also based on the 14nm process, will also be available. 5th Generation Intel Core processor-based systems from a variety of manufacturers are expected to arrive in January 2015. Devices based on the "Cherry Trail" platform are expected to be available in the first half of 2015.
