Broadwell U arrives: Faster laptop CPUs and GPUs from Core i7 to Celeron

Intel promised us more chips based on the new Broadwell architecture in early 2015, and today it’s delivering on that promise. Today at CES in Las Vegas the company announced a total of 17 new dual-core processors across most of its consumer product lines—from Core i7 at the high end all the way down to Pentium and Celeron at the low end. Intel usually starts with high-end CPUs and rolls out low-end ones later, once demand for the high-end chips falls a bit and manufacturing costs have come down. Broadwell’s strange rollout means we’re getting mainstream and low-end mobile CPUs dropped on us all at once, but faster, more power-hungry quad-core chips destined for mobile and laptop workstations still aren’t available. Today we’ll walk you through all of the products Intel is announcing and what kind of performance and feature improvements you can expect. As CES rolls on, we’ll hopefully get a chance to go hands-on with some new Broadwell systems and provide some hands-on impressions. These systems should begin shipping to the public at some point in the next month or two. Read 27 remaining paragraphs | Comments
