Intel has announced some details about their new processors Core M Broadwell, performed on 14-nm process technology based on the architecture of Broadwell. According to employees of Intel, processors in this series have been developed with the aim of combining high performance and low power consumption. While architecture Haswell ushered in the era of devices with long battery life, devices based on processors Broadwell can work on a single charge even longer.
According to information received from Intel, the main advantages of the new processors are:
- ability to operate devices that have a slim body, in which there is no active cooling;
- reduced almost twice the size of the chipset, compared to Haswell, while noting an increase in battery life and performance;
- second-generation production technology FinFET-transistor;
- possibility of use in any equipment since servers to tablets and smartphones.
It is worth noting that Apple is now working on a 12-inch MacBook with Retina-display, which will get slimmer than the MacBook Air, with its construction there will be no fan. Thus, the processor Core M Broadwell will be perfect for this notebook, the more its power consumption is about 5 watts, as opposed to 15 W chipsets based architecture Haswell.
The first devices based on the Intel Core M Broadwell appear before the end of this year, and they come on the market in the early or mid-2015.
