SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 3, 2015 – Today Intel Corporation
introduced the 6th Generation Intel® Core™ processor family, the
company’s best processors ever. The launch marks a turning point in people’s relationship
with computers. The 6th Gen Intel Core processors deliver enhanced performance and
new immersive experiences at the lowest power levels ever and also support the broadest range of device designs – from the ultra-mobile
compute stick, to 2 in 1s and huge high-definition All-in-One desktops, to new mobile
workstations.
There are over 500 million computers in use today that are four to
five years old or older. They are slow to
wake, their batteries don’t last long, and they can’t take advantage of all the
new experiences available today. Built on the new Skylake microarchitecture on
Intel’s leading 14nm manufacturing process technology, 6th Gen Intel Core
processors deliver up to two and a half times better performance[i],
triple the battery life[ii],
and graphics that are 30 times better[iii]
for seamless and smooth gaming and video experiences versus the average 5-year-old
computer. They can also be half as thin and half the weight, have faster wake up time, and battery life that
lasts virtually all day[iv].
“6th Gen Intel Core processors deliver
some of the most significant advancements in computing that we’ve ever seen,” said
Kirk
Skaugen, Intel senior vice president and general manager of the Client
Computing Group. “New 6th Gen Intel Core-based systems are more responsive than
ever with enhanced performance, battery life and security. And they can enable
amazing new PC experiences like logging into your computer with your face and
having a personal assistant respond to your voice. The combination of 6th Gen
Intel Core processors, Windows 10 and beautiful new systems from PC
manufacturers make this the best time ever to buy a new computer.”

Powers Range of New Devices
The new 6th Gen Intel Core
processor family enables a broad range of designs to fit virtually every need. Intel®
Core™ M processors, which can offer
twice the performance of leading premium tablets[v],
will now include brand levels Intel Core m3, m5 and m7 processors to provide
people with more clarity and choice in finding the Intel Core M processor-based
device that best meets their specific needs. The Intel® Compute
Stick lineup expands to include a version powered by the 6th Gen Intel Core M processor.
This new generation of Intel
processors also includes several firsts for mobile designs: a mobile “K” SKU
that is unlocked to enable overclocking with even more user control, a new quad-core
Intel® Core™ i5 processor that offers up to 60 percent improved
mobile multitasking[vi], and
the Intel® Xeon® E3 processor family now powering mobile
workstations. The 6th Gen Intel Core processors deliver significant
improvements in graphics performance[vii]
to offer stunning visuals for gaming as well as compelling 4K content creation
and media playback. New Intel® Speed Shift technology improves the
responsiveness of mobile systems so people can, for example, apply a photo filter up to 45 percent faster[viii].
In addition, the 6th Gen Intel Core
and Intel Xeon platforms will offer a variety of new features and experiences. More
devices will feature Thunderbolt™
3 for USB Type-C, enabling
one compact port that does it all. A user-facing
or world-facing Intel®
RealSense™ Camera will be available on a range of new 6th Gen
Intel Core processor-based 2 in 1s, notebooks and All-in-One desktop systems, offering
new depth-sensing capabilities and immersive experiences that allow people to do
things like take and share lifelike 3-D selfies, scan objects and print in 3-D,
and easily remove and change their background during a video chat.
The 6th Gen Intel Core platform
will also advance Intel’s “no wires” initiative to deliver the best experience
for wireless display available today with Intel® WiDi or Pro WiDi.
This technology allows people to easily share from their computer to a TV,
monitor or projector without the mess of wires and dongles.
The 6th
Gen Intel Core processor family helps optimize Windows®
10 features such as Cortana* and Windows
Hello* for more seamless and natural interaction with technology. Devices with
the Intel RealSense Camera paired with Windows Hello let people securely log in
using facial recognition. True
Key™ technology by Intel Security is also available on many 6th Gen Intel
Core processor-based systems to deliver a secure experience for logging into
devices and websites without the need to remember each site’s password.
