Intel launches its first Skylake processors with higher performance, lower power consumption and support for new technologies.
Introducing Intel the first processors in the family # Skylake – sequel to earlier architectures Haswell and Broadwell. First up is the Intel Core i7-6700K and i5-6600K intended for desktop computers, reports Sweclockers. As 99mac previously written is expected to processors for notebooks to hit the market nearer October.
Skylake retains a manufacturing technology at 14 nanometers, but is a new microarchitecture that promises both better performance and efficiency. Skylake also introduces support for new memory types as DDR4, and better integrated graphics that is intended to allow the connection of up to five external displays.
Next Macbook can get better performance thanks to Skylake.
10 nanometers lingers
For a long time, Intel has applied a so-called Tick-Tock strategy for its processors, which the company every two years alternating between introducing a new manufacturing technique for the existing architecture ( Tick) and will launch a completely new architecture (tock). The life cycle of each processor has become longer, and last month Intel announced that after Broadwell and Skylake will launch a third processor with 14-nanometer manufacturing technology called Kaby Lake. Only then is the plan to shrink production to 10 nanometers with Cannon Lake during the latter half of 2017.
Intel’s clock loses pace.
For Apple’s part, the Most models in the company’s computer range ripe for an update. During the year, Apple has released new models of the Macbook Air and Macbook Pro 13-inch in March with Broadwell processors, as well as the Macbook Air 15-inch in May that still used the Haswell. In addition, it has come a new edition of the Macbook, 12-inch display, and passive cooling.
All these models could benefit Skylakes higher performance, efficient power consumption and better graphics chips. As usual, Apple has not announced plans for new models, but the availability of the new Intel processors enables a significant updating of supply in late 2015 or early on in 2016.
