Recently, I luckily had a chance to visit
the Press Release on Intel's 4th generation CPUs.
And WOOOOOOOAAAAAHHH!! What mind striking
technology they are coming up with!
The visit was really an eye opener. As in
how futuristic a company could be. Technologies only seen in Sci-Fi movies,
Will no sooner be a reality if we keep speeding at such a pace.
Organized at the Oberoi's on the eve of
26th of June, Intel made sure to not only charm the visitors with technology
but also with the whole decor of the place.
Dark blue neon lights completely matched
with the Company's theme color. They had boring orchestra playing in the
center, and the corner exhibiting their display of 4th generation CPUs excited
everybody.
So if we start analyzing the 4th generation
CPUs, I would start with the part I loved the most. Low Power Consumption. The new 4th
generation CPUs have been designed to have an excellent battery life. It only consumer 6watts of battery whereas
the battery consumption of the older generations consumed around 9-12 watts of
power. This would give you around 9 hours of
battery on Ultrabooks and more than 10-13 days on standby!!
So here, Intel actually targets the main
problem of Ultrabooks and mobile. Though the phones are smart these days, the
battery life is equally dull. This breakthrough has been possible, because of a
technology which Intel calls "Intel's leading edge 22-nm node”. This
technology actually allows the power consumption to be reduced in the idle
state. So probably in the near future, we would be looking for the same amount
of battery life in Intel powered smartphones. The managers say it is the
"Biggest leap in terms of Battery Life".
The jump forward Intel's 4th generation
CPUs takes is in terms of graphics. The newer CPUs aim at making graphic cars a
history.
Probably, the company believes that the
card not only add to the cost of addition hardware but also increase the battery
consumption. The company displayed NFS most wanted 2013 working perfectly on
its newer CPUs without a graphic card. Gamers, I hope you understand what
future we are talking about.
Another qualities included 2 times
increased processing time and 8 times faster wake time. So now you could be booting
your Ultrabook on an average of around 6 seconds.
Also there has been a lot of focus from Intel
on The 2 in 1 Ultrabooks. Partnering with major IT brands like
LG,Samsung,Lenovo,Dell,Apple and few others, It launched the "UltraBook 2
in 1 based on 4TH Generation Intel Core Processors". It’s called a 2 in 1
because it’s your Laptop and Tablet Combined into One, Also been referred to as
TabBook. Major features included No fans Requirement, 0.68mm of thickness, Full
HD MultiTouch Screens,Fully 360 degree rotatable screen, No graphic Card
requirements.
There were other technologies too at display,
some of them included WiDi-"Wireless Display" and Motion Sensing.
According to my prediction Intel's main
focus is on better performance and decreasing size. Of course,Amazing graphics
and Battery life are an add-on.
Currently launched i5 and i7 in the market,
the company plans to launch i3, atom and May even launch
a Celeron processor for this generation.
