Intel launches the 5th gen Intel Core Processor family

Intel launches the 5th gen Intel Core Processor family featuring improved graphics and battery life - Tech2

It is that time of the year, when Intel refreshes its processor line-up. With the CES underway, Intel has announced the mobile fifth generation Intel Core processor family. Since the 5th gen comprises the 14nm processor die (shrunk from Haswell’s 22nm), it represents the ‘tick’ in Intel’s tick-tock cadence, where the ‘tock’ represents a change in the micro-architecture. Intel’s 5th gen Core Processor family will be code named Broadwell.

The 5th gen Intel Core Processor family will have 10 new 15W processors with Intel HD graphics and 4 new 28W processors with Intel Iris graphics – which is a lot more powerful than HD graphics. Apart from the Core family, there will also be the Intel Pentium and Celeron family of processors for the entry level users.

More reason to wait for a new PC/laptop

Now let us wait for real life performance since digits never show the real value :-D

Old news, already used it, does not need fan for heatsink, ultra low voltage and lasts very long on battery.
New HP notebooks are already being tested

Now I guess we are about to see the official end of Ultrabook :-D

When will the desktop counterpart launch, any ideas ?

I personally think, Ultrabooks would be much modified and refined in design.

is that so?

I hope the stupid split up/down arrow keys have been replaced by the normal ones in the newer notebooks.

Probably Q2 2015 along with mobile quad cores.

Nah they are already making that Ulv processor go on well. And as a result of it they are using it in a normal class notebook. Ultrabook was meant to be ultra low on both weight and power. But these are now be going to be used as a main stream laptop.

Yep,that's the fact also. :chinscratch:

Is broadwell going to be in the same CPU socket? LGA 1150 ?

BTW how much your lappy weight?

2.04 kg

Yes same as Haswell.

Will Intel's Skylake CPUs render desktop Broadwell processors irrelevant? | Techradar India

Waiting for skylake seems like a good idea ; )

Still nothing beats i5-2500K.

This is not much impressive. 2nd gen processors still kick ass.

Looks like we'll have to skip 5th gen and wait for Skylake. Intel's ticks are now becoming more and more worthless. I now think graphene is our only hope for a significant tock.

*high five*

Any ideas when AMD FX series refresh will come out.. ? in lower end segment, the FX 6300 still outclasses most intel chips in similar price point..even the higher end 9XXX series outmatch equivalent intel chips in price/cpu performance and I hope the next FX series could have the same impact ..

There is still no cost effective way to utilize or synthesize graphene. We can only hope that day comes soon.

Or maybe quantum? IMB is already making great progress in quantum computing.

I really really hope AMD comes out with something at least competitive, if not better. Intel is making too much from it's monopoly.

Quantum computing is still a theory. People still haven't figured out how to build machines that will implement that.

*Ahem* On topic. I think it would be prudent to wait for Skylake but Skylake will use a different socket. Skylake(mostly Us) will make its appearance at the same time as Broadwell desktops and mobile quads.

^^ skylake desktop version may take even further.

Yes of course. Skylake H proccys(desktops+quad core mobile) will brobably be released in Q1-Q2 2016.

AMD will do nothing in the CPU department this year. Some APU launch only of worth to OEMs. Intel screwed them real bad. Only hope is in 2016.

Hmm, I was about to buy a new laptop, should I wait for the new processors or just get one now?

wait for it.

i think around 20% improvement over ivy bridge is safe to assume??

Yes, give or take. Slightly more perhaps

You have 3770k ,right?

ya......

^That 3770k is more than capable to handle every game until mid-late 8th generation

Well here we may see rich peoples. >.>

when they will be coming to india , and what about pricing ??
