Intel Malaysia have announced the release of their 6th Generation Intel Core processors built on the new Skylake microarchitecture and 14nm fabrication process at their Intel Channel Symposium 2015 for Malaysia. The new 6th generation Intel Core processors promise 2.5x better performance, 3x battery life, 30x better graphics than the average 5-year old system. These new processors are also thinner and lighter with faster wake-up time so much so that former server grade processors like Intel Xeon may soon end up in a mobile workstation.
Featuring a diverse range of processors for desktops, notebook computers and even mobile workstations, new Intel Core m3, m5 and m7 processors may soon be in the next premium tablets to emerge while an Intel Core M processors may also be headed for Intel's Compute Stick mini PC. While we hope that this won't be just for Microsoft Surface tablets it is also great news that Intel has released a mobile "K" SKU which means mobile Intel processors that can be overclocked. Various Intel partners were also on hand to show off their Intel based products and devices. This included Acer, ASUS, HP, Microsoft, MSI, SNS Networks and more.
Intel says more exciting things are coming with Intel 500 series graphics including Iris and Iris Pro graphics along for better IoT (Internet of Things) hardware. While Intel say that they are already available there were no details yet on Malaysia pricing. The NUC and Compute Stick are already available though and while they didn't mention any specific dates Intel have said that we should expect more Intel powered tablets, smartphones and mobile devices for Malaysia in the near future. The new 6th Generation Intel Core processors have also been optimized for use with Microsoft's Windows 10 with a promotion called Make Magic Everyday but more details on that soon.
