INTEL LAUNCHES 4TH GENERATION INTEL CORE PROCESSORS IN INDIA

Intel on Wednesday introduced the 4th generation Intel Core
processor family, dubbed Haswell, in India.
Based on Intel's leading 22nm
microarchitecture, the 4th generation Intel Core processors
promises to deliver up to 50 percent increase in battery life in
active workloads over the previous generation.This is the
largest generation-over-generation gain in the company’s
history, equating to 9 hours of battery life in active workloads
for some Ultrabooks based on the new processors, said the
company.
The 4th generation processors will also serve as the foundation for 2-in-1 computing. A 2-in-1
device works as a PC as well as a tablet.
“Today we deliver on the vision set forth 2 years ago to reinvent
personal computing with the introduction of our 4th generation Intel Core processors,” said Leighton
Phillips, Director, Product Management & Pricing, Intel Asia-
Pacific. “Today’s announcement accelerates a new category of 2-in-1 computing devices
delivering the best of a notebook and a tablet in amazing new
form factors.”
The 4th gen Intel Core
processors promises to deliver improvement in battery life over
the previous generation in active
workloads such as watching movies or surfing the Internet,
and two to three times improvement in standby battery life. For some systems coming to market this year, over nine hours
of active use battery life or 10 to 13 days of standby with fresh
data on a single charge is expected. The latest processors
are capable of delivering up to 15 per cent better performance than the previous generation,
while consuming lower amounts of power.
To achieve this breakthrough,Intel worked on the power
reduction at the CPU level to as low as 6 watts and also worked across the system for power
optimisation, said Debjani Ghosh,Intel South Asia Managing
Director (Sales and Marketing Group).
The 4th generation processor enables every day computing to be about two times faster, helps systems wake up around eight
times faster and allows users to edit and share HD video about 20 times faster, than a similar 4-
year-old computer.
PC makers like Acer, Dell, Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Lenovo are in the process of launching products with the latest Intel
processor.
Acer is expected to launch its ultrabook, starting at about Rs
37,000, during mid-July. The Taiwanese computer marketer
said it will also come out with 15-20 products powered by the latest Intel processor in the next
4 months.
Likewise, Dell will release its XPS 12 ultrabook in the first week of July, whereas, HP will soon be launching its HP Envy AiO (All-in-One) PC.
Similarly, Lenovo will launch its AiO PC in the coming couple of
months, which will be powered by the Intel 4th generation core
processor.
