Intel has introduced a number of computer innovations at Computex 2019. The most interesting of them: 10-nm Core Ice Lake for laptops, the Project Athena program and 14 Intel Xeon E processors for workstations.
The tenth generation Intel Core or Core Ice Lake uses the new Gen 11 GPU: the presented chips are based on the Sunny Cove architecture and can work in TurboBoost up to 4.1 GHz. The main performance increase will be noticeable in artificial intelligence tasks - 2.5 times faster than processors of the eighth generation.
Also noticeable improvements in the company noted in terms of graphics: the integrated Intel Iris Plus GPU will receive 64 execution units (against 24 in the 8th generation) and will operate at a frequency of up to 1.1 GHz. There will also be models with UHD - they have only 32 execution units and much lower performance. Laptops with Core Ice Lake and the new Iris Plus graphics will be able to play 4K HDR video at 60 fps and 8K at 30 fps, and some modern games will run at 1080p at medium settings on “decent FPS rates.”
The 10th generation Intel Core lineup includes Ice Lake U models with a power consumption of 15-25 W and Ice Lake Y with a 9-12 W TDP. The maximum number of cores is 4, the threads are 8. There is support for Wi-Fi 6 (Gig +), Intel Optane Memory PCIe 3.0, Thunderbolt 3, as well as Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost 2.0 technologies. In addition, the new processors support memory LPDDR4X-3733 and DDR4-3200 with a capacity of up to 60 GB / s.
The first models of laptops with Intel Core Ice Lake should appear in the fall of this year. Among them will also be devices released as part of the Project Athena program: through it, Intel helps partners in developing the next generation of thin and light mobile computers. The main parameters for creating such laptops are already installed: Intel Core i5 or i7, at least 8 GB of RAM and SSD over 256 GB, support for AI technologies, fast charging, Wi-Fi 6 or Gigabit LTE, as well as USB Type-C with Thunderbolt 3 support. In addition, Project Athena gadgets should have a touchscreen display and as thin as possible.
Today, manufacturers such as Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, Samsung, Sharp and Google are taking part in the program. Intel's main goal is to solve design problems at the design stage of devices.
Now, about the new line of processors Xeon E. The first 12 models are designed for desktop workstations, two more - for powerful notebooks. CPUs have up to 8 cores, support Wi-Fi 6 (Gig +) and up to 128 GB of DDR4-2666 MHz RAM. The minimum TDP is 45 watts, the record in the line is 95 watts. Full list of features:
Processors will be available for order in early June. Cost will be announced in a few days.
