It has Intel HD 510 graphics.īelow the mainstream desktop hardware is the T-series. The sole exception is the Pentium G4400, which is the most affordable CPU in the entire line-up. The i3 line is made up of dual-cores that have Hyper-Threading, but lack Turbo Boost, and the Pentiums lack both.Īlmost all of the chips offer the same Intel HD 530 graphics solution, which we’ve already tested and found reasonably competent.
As before, the i7 is a quad-core with Hyper-Threading, while the i5s are quads that lack Hyper-Threading.
Below it is three each of the i5, i3 and Pentium line. There’s only one i7, the i7-6700, which is clocked slightly lower than the i7-6700K, and is also locked, meaning it can’t be overclocked. The hungrier 65-watt and 47-watt chips consist of mainstream quad-cores and dual-cores in the Pentium, i3, i5 and i7 categories. Intel’s line-up of desktop chips is broken up into two main categories, based on Thermal Design Power (TDP).
Now that I’ve give you a broad tour of the sixth-generation Core line-up, let’s dig into the specifics. These are, of course, things an older desktop or laptop won’t offer. The company is also continuing to market its chips – the Core line in particular – as a platform, boasting of features like RealSense 3D camera support, TrueKey security, Intel Wireless Display and Thunderbolt. This is a tactic Intel has used in the past, and it’s based on the idea that most people upgrade from a PC that’s three to five years old, not one purchased last year. Intel has reached these figures by comparing the new Core i5-6200U to the Core i5-520UM, a dual-core that’s over five years old. If these numbers sound too good to be true, they are, in a sense. Intel says the new hardware is up to 2.5x faster in compute performance than previous chips, up to 30x faster in graphics performance, and offers up to three times the battery life. There’s even, for the first time ever, Intel Xeon for mobile. It also features mobile quad-cores and dual-cores, including new Core M chips for super-low-power systems. The line-up includes a full line of desktop chips, from flagships that slot just below the K-series hardware to low-power, budget models. Now, at its 2015 IFA conference, Intel is rolling out the rest of its hardware, and it’s a big announcement.
Though quick, these desktop chips were just an example of what would come later. Greg Mombert/Digital TrendsNot long ago, Intel released its first two Skylake processors, the Core i7-6700K and the Core i5-6600K.
