Intel today officially announced its dual-core Haswell
processors along with 22nm quad-core Intel Atom SoCs for
tablets and smartphones.
We have already posted information about the company's
quad-core Haswell processors, so today we present the
dua-core SKUs.
On the desktop side, currently there is only a single
dual-core SKU listed (Core i5-4570T), while the rest
dual-core parts are part of the mobile Haswell chips:

The Core i7 and i5 parts have Turbo Boost and Core i3
doesn?t. The Core i7-4600M along with the i5-4330M and
i5-4300M also support vPro/TXT/VT-d, and the i5-4200M
and the Core i3 models lack those features.
All of the dual-core M-series parts are equipped with
the GT2 variant of Haswell, which means 20 EUs and
slightly improved performance relative to Ivy Bridge
models. TDPs are also up 2W compared to Ivy Bridge, as a
result of the additional features now integrated into
the CPU die.
Moving on to the The ULV processors, the maximum
dual-core Turbo Boost is now 300-400MHz lower on
Haswell. vPro, TXT, and VT-d are no longer supportded
by all the chips, and TDPs are down 2W relative to Ivy
Bridge.
The graphics configurations for the U-series parts
include GT3 (HD 5000) with 40 EUs on the higher-spec i7
and i5 chips with GT2 (HD 4400) on the remaining
processors.

Finally we have the new Y-series processors, which have
been designed for tablets. While the Ivy Bridge-based
i3-3229Y, i5-3339Y, and i5-3439 had 13W TDP and 7W SDP
(Scenario Design Power), while the new Haswell parts
have lower 11.5W TDP and 6W SDP ratings.
The new Haswell parts are clocked 100MHz lower than
their Ivy Bridge counterparts. Te GPU's maximum clock
remains at 850MHz but the minimum clock is now 200MHz,
which should help improve power use in light/idle
workloads.

New Intel Core-Powered Ultrabook
The introduction of 4th gen Intel Core ushers
in a wave of new Ultrabook in "2-in-1" devices.
All new Ultrabooks are 20mm or less in thickness for
systems with displays smaller than 14 inches and 23
mm or less for systems with displays 14 inches or
larger.
Ultrabooks wake up in a flash-- going from a very deep
sleep state (S4) to screen on in less than three
seconds, and wake up from "sleep" mode even faster;
additionally, they include SSDs or SSD caches.
The latest Ultrabooks also deliver always fresh data;
waking up occasionally to pull data with minimal power
consumption still allowing for more than seven
days of standby on a single battery charge.
The new devices will be touch-enabled and have Intel Wireless Display
capability built in to bring natural touch and motion
interactivity and speed mode for low-latency gaming on
the big screen. Ultrabooks will also be hardware-ready
for voice command and control, giving the user
flexibility to choose the most natural way of handling
the task at hand.
Ultrabooks are also equipped with built in security
capabilities including Intel Identity Protection
Technology (Intel IPT) and Intel Anti-Theft Technology
(Intel AT) for more computing protection. Websites
partnered with Intel IPT help protect log-in
information, keeping identities safe based on hardware
authentication. Intel Anti-Theft Technology helps
protect Ultrabooks by automatically disabling it if lost
or stolen. The recently introduced McAfee LiveSafe
service brings the deepest protections available by
taking advantage of technology in new Intel Core
processors and Intel IPT and Intel AT.
Finally, Ultrabooks based on 4th generation Intel
Core processors have at least one USB 3.0 port and
Thunderbolt technology.
Business, Workstation and Intelligent Systems
Embedded features in 4th generation Intel Core vPro
processors strengthen security and increase business
productivity. Available today in select business
desktops, all-in-one PCs, ultra-small form factor and
mobile workstation devices with future availability

Introduced today, the Intel Xeon processors E3-1200 v3
product family comes equipped with graphics featuring
hardware accelerated media encode and decode
technologies that allows all media and video content
providers to deliver up to 4.6 times more videos to
customers and decrease their total cost of ownership up
to 64 percent versus traditional servers equipped with
discrete graphics used today. The new microarchitecture
and process technology also allow the lowest-power Intel
Xeon processor ever at 13W TDP aimed at microservers and
communication infrastructure. Up to 38 percent
improvement in graphics performance and up to 18 percent
better energy-efficient performance versus the previous
generation also provide an opportunity for upgrading
workstations, entry-level servers and storage solutions.
Speaking at Computex Taipei 2013, Executive Vice
President Tom Kilroy said Intel has more than 50
different 2-in-1 designs in the pipeline across a range
of price points, including premium Ultrabook 2-in-1s
powered by the new Intel Core processors, and other
designs powered by forthcoming processors based on the
company's 22nm Silvermont microarchitecture.
Kilroy also highlighted momentum in ultra-mobility,
pointing to Intel's next-generation 22nm quad-core and
most powerful Intel Atom system-on-chip (SoC; codenamed
"Bay Trail-T") yet for tablets coming this holiday, the
company's forthcoming 4G LTE multimode solution and its
next-generation 22nm Atom SoC (codenamed "Merrifield")
for smartphones.
Kilroy also showcased progress in bringing human-like
senses to 2-in-1 and other Intel-based devices through
the addition of touch, voice and facial recognition and
other technologies. Called perceptual computing, these
technologies take advantage of Intel processing power to
make interaction with devices natural.
He demonstrated short-range gesture and voice-based
interaction by giving new Intel Core-based Ultrabook
2-in-1 devices "eyes" with the Creative Senz3D
peripheral camera, noting general availability for the
camera starting next quarter. Looking to the future, he
said Intel is working on an integrated solution to build
3-D depth camera technology directly into future
Intel-based devices targeted for the second half of
2014.
Tablets, Smartphones and LTE
Intel's 22nm low-power, high-performance Silvermont
microarchitecture is enabling the company to accelerate
and significantly enhance its tablet and smartphone
offerings.
For tablets on shelves for holiday 2013, Intel's
next-generation, 22nm quad-core Atom SoC ("Bay Trail-T")
will deliver superior graphics and more than two times
the CPU performance of the current generation. It will
also enable sleek designs with 8 or more hours of
battery life and weeks of standby, as well as support
Android and Windows 8.1.
For the first time, Kilroy demonstrated Intel's 4G LTE
multimode solution in conjunction with the
next-generation 22nm quad-core Atom SoC for tablets. The
Intel XMM 7160 is one of the world's smallest and
lowest-power multimode-multiband LTE solutions and will
support global LTE roaming in a single SKU.
With a number of phones with Intel silicon inside having
shipped across more than 30 countries, Kilroy previewed
what's coming. He showed for the first time a smartphone
reference design platform based on "Merrifield," Intel's
next-generation 22nm Intel Atom SoC for smartphones that
will deliver increased performance and battery life. The
platform includes an integrated sensor hub for
personalized services, as well as capabilities for data,
device and privacy protection. |
