[Oficial] Intel Core "all" Series

[MTPS]

1 ano é o tempo do ddr4 se tornar mainstream, portanto, acredito que até lá algo seja feito por parte da AMD.

[tiran]

Neste momento e desde há uns anos para trás não há pressa da Intel, vão fazendo um bocado de milking do que têm...melhoram um bocadinho o cpu e está bom, focam-se no gpu e nos consumos...

Eu sinceramente olhando para o departamento de RD da intel acho que a já têm na gaveta protótipos e designs para responder um eventual salto da concorrência até 2020... Não precisam de tirar coelhos da cartola, tiram da gaveta... Comparados aos gpus os progressos no cpu nos últimos anos foram lentos... Por isso é que torço sempre para a AMD tirar a tal arquitectura, o tal cpu da cartola... Tenho a certeza que a Intel dava à perna, tal como deu com os famosos FX's que motivou logo o salto dos pentium para os core2duo...

A Intel está a mexer-se, mas é na direcção onde tem uma ameaça a sério, ou seja, o ARM e os dispositivos low power.

O desempenho que a Intel conseguiu neste chip é impressionante....

IDF 2014: Intel Shows Core M 5Y70 Performance Numbers

During a press session today with Intel, I was able to get some early performance results on Broadwell-Y in the form of the upcoming Core M 5Y70 processor.

Testing was done on a reference design platform code named Llama Mountain and at the heart of the system is the Broadwell-Y designed dual-core CPU, the Core M 5Y70, which is due out later this year. Power consumption of this system is low enough that Intel has built it with a fanless design. As we posted last week, this processor has a base frequency of just 1.10 GHz but it can boost as high as 2.6 GHz for extra performance when it's needed.
Before we dive into the actual result, you should keep in mind a couple of things. First, we didn't have to analyze the systems to check driver revisions, etc., so we are going on Intel's word that these are setup as you would expect to see them in the real world. Next, because of the disjointed nature of test were were able to run, the comparisons in our graphs aren't as great as I would like. Still, the results for the Core M 5Y70 are here should you want to compare them to any other scores you like.
First, let's take a look at old faithful: CineBench 11.5.

UPDATE: A previous version of this graph showed the TDP for the Intel Core M 5Y70 as 15 watts, not the 4.5 watt listed here now. The reasons are complicated. Even though the Intel Ark website lists the TDP of the Core M 5Y70, Intel has publicly stated the processor will make very short "spikes" at 15 watts when in its highest Turbo Boost modes. It comes to a discussion of semantics really. The cooling capability of the tablet is only targeted to 4.5-6.0 watts and those very short 15 watt spikes can be dissipated without the need for extra heatsink surface...because they are so short. SDP anyone? END UPDATE
With a score of 2.77, the Core M 5Y70 processor puts up an impressive fight against CPUs with much higher TDP settings. For example, Intel's own Pentium G3258 gets a score of 2.71 in CB11, and did so with a considerably higher thermal envelope. The Core i3-4330 scores 38% higher than the Core M 5Y70 but it requires a TDP 3.6-times larger to do so. Both of AMD's APUs in the 45 watt envelope fail to keep up with Core M.
Continue reading our preview of Intel Core M 5Y70 Performance!!
The next two tests, 3DMark Ice Storm and SunSpider, are interesting in that they are cross platform. This allows comparison between results from tablets, both Android and iOS.

The test was run on Chrome on the Android tablets, Safari on the iPad Air, and in Internet Explorer on the Windows 8.1 Core M 5Y70 tablet. The SunSpider Javascript benchmark is 4.6x faster than the Tegra K1 SoC and 3.4x faster than the highly optimized JS setup in Safari on the Apple A7 SoC.

The overall score for the Core M 5Y70 is 47% faster than the next competitor, the Tegra K1. Intel's own Atom Z3745 (Bay Trail) is well behind, with the 5Y70 getting a 237% advantage.

Breaking this down into its components, the graphics performance scales nearly in line with the overall results. The Core M 5Y70 is 39% faster than the Tegra K1 and 300% faster than the Atom Z3745.

Finally, looking at the CPU side of the equation in the physics subtest, that advantage grows to 66% for the Core M 5Y70 over the Tegra K1 and 91% over the Atom Z3745.
To be fair, these SunSpider and 3DMark Ice Storm results aren't perfect and the Core M devices are not exactly going up against the same category of tablets you'll find the Tegra K1 and Atom Z3745 in. But the comparisons are interesting and they are the ones we had on hand while at IDF to write this up.

Intel claims that tablets like this reference design, hitting thickness of 7mm or so, will be able to offer up these levels of performance while maintaining 9+ hours of standard consumer usage. Though the units that we tested and used today were hand built, reference platforms, Intel has spent a lot of time getting things right. I have to admit that the total package looks compelling and, having been hands on with a couple of retail-ready units from Lenovo at IDF, I'm ready to buy in to the advantages of Broadwell-Y and Core M.

Even more impressive is the size of the system board powering these machines - you are looking at it, above, in its entirety. The green package is the Core M 5Y70 Broadwell-Y processor (and PCH) with the rest of the components consisting of system memory, IO controllers, and connectivity. Seeing it in person really drives home the feat of getting that kind of system level performance in such a small, efficient space.
Intel claims that retail sales of partner systems will be begin in October. I'm looking forward to getting these platforms in our office to run through the full gamut of benchmarks and user experience testing.

Intel Skylake, detalhes dos modelos

http://www.kitguru.net/components/cp...odels-in-2015/



Intel Corp. plans to release a rather broad range of microprocessors based on the Skylake micro-architecture for mobile computers next year, according to a new media report. The upcoming central processing units (CPUs) will address all kinds of mobile devices, including tablets, 2-in-1s, mainstream notebooks as well as high-performance laptops.
As expected, the family of mobile central processing units powered by the Skylake micro-architecture will include three major lines: Skylake-Y for ultra-low-power devices, Skylake-U for mainstream notebooks and Skylake-H for high-end workstation- or gaming-class laptops. Each line will include from four to 15 models, which means that there will be at least 19 different mobile Skylake CPUs net year (four SKL-Y + four SKL-H + 15 SKL-U), reports CPU World.
General specifications of the new chips will look as follows:

• Skylake-Y (SKL-Y): Core M product line. The chips will feature 2 cores with Hyper-Threading, GT2-class graphics, on-package core-logic set, 3MB or 4MB cache, vPro and TurboBoost technologies. TDP: 4W or lower.
• Skylake-U (SKL-U): Core i7, Core i5, Core i3, Pentium and Celeron product lines. The chips will feature 2 cores with or without Hyper-Threading, GT1/GT2/GT3/GT3e-class graphics, on-package core-logic set, 2MB, 3MB or 4MB cache, vPro and TurboBoost technologies (on select models). TDP: 15W or 28W.
• Skylake-H (SKL-H): Core i7, Core i5, Core i3 product lines. The chips will feature 4 cores with Hyper-Threading (Core i3 will feature 2 cores), GT3/GT4-class graphics with or without embedded cache, large L3 caches, vPro and TurboBoost technologies (on select models). TDP: 35W or 45W.

Note: It is unclear which chips support DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR3 and which also support DDR4.

The broad family of mobile Skylake microprocessors indicates that Intel plans to ramp up production of Skylake chips pretty quickly and therefore there will be a lot of systems featuring the latest processors in 2015. Unfortunately, there are no launch details or launch dates for Skylake CPUs.
Central processing units based on Intel’s Skylake micro-architecture are expected to feature considerably improved graphics, a bunch of special-purpose accelerators (e.g., HEVC and VP9 hardware decoders) and support such technologies as AVX 3.2 (512-bit instructions), SHA extensions (SHA-1 and SHA-256, secure hash algorithms), MPX (memory protection extensions), ADX (multi-precision add-carry instruction extensions) and other innovations.
The next-gen Skylake client platform due in 2015 will also be accompanied with numerous connectivity and I/O options, such as Snowfield Peak (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth), Douglas Peak (WiGig, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth), Pine Peak (WiGig), Alpine Ridge (Thunderbolt 3.0 with 40Gb/s transfer rate), Jacksonville Ethernet, next-generation XMM726x-series WWAN 4G/LTE modem and so on. Mobile platforms based on Skylake will support Rezence wireless charging.

Intel: We are behind expected yield curve with 14nm process technology

Although Intel Corp. has significantly improved yields of chips made using 14nm process technology, the company is still not completely satisfied with the result. Lower-than-expected yields have already caused Intel to postpone mass production of its code-named “Broadwell” microprocessors and will likely affect the company for several more months.“Overall we have made some good progress during this quarter,” said Brian Krzanich, chief executive officer of Intel, during the company’s quarterly conference call with investors and financial analysts. “Yet, we have an important work left to do. Within our factory network 14nm yields improved meaningfully, but we are behind where we expect it to be. These challenges highlight just how difficult it has become to ramp advanced process technology.”
Intel originally planned to start mass production of its code-named Broadwell microprocessors in the fourth quarter of 2013. However, due to low yields and high density of defects the company had to redesign its process technology.

The company has already started revenue shipments of its Core M “Broadwell” processors to select customers, but in order to maximize yields it had to begin mass production of chips starting from the low-performance models with two cores and relatively simplistic graphics engine. Still, the Core M chips will enable brand-new category of products that feature relatively high levels of performance and very low power consumption.
If Intel’s 14nm yields are behind where the chip giant wants them to be, it is not surprising that the most advanced models of “Broadwell” with four cores and high-end graphics are expected to hit the market only in mid-2015.

Más noticias para a Intel, mas boas para todas as outras empresas.

E ainda criticam a AMD por não conseguir apresentar os melhores produtos...

Para a diferença de recursos, vejo a AMD como uma empresa muito mais eficiente.

Isso é verdade, a AMD faz muito tendo em conta os recursos limitados que tem em relação à Intel.

Quem critica a AMD é porque é fanboy, coisa que nunca me viste fazer, os numeros estão aí e mostram o que é a Intel e a AMD.
A AMD com aquilo que tem faz muito e tem sem duvida alguma alguns dos melhores produtos na relação qualidade preço.
A AMD é uma empresa à imagem dos seus recursos, tomara a AMD ter um pouquinho daquilo que a Intel esbanja em desenvolvimento.

[Winjer]

Durante o tempo dos K7 e K8 a AMD teve uma vantagem enorme em relação ao que a Intel oferecia.
Não fossem os acordos debaixo da mesa para bloquear o mercado de OEMs e a Intel teria perdido muito mais quota de mercado.
Infelizmente para a AMD, quando lhe foi dada razão pelos tribunais, já tinha passado o tempo áureo dos seus CPUs.
