Michal Marek The new generation of processors from Intel, codenamed Broadwell, has been talked about for many months. However, the famous manufacturer did not manage the transition to the production of 14nm chips as smoothly as originally expected, and Broadwell was thus delayed. But now the wait is over and the 5th generation of Core processors is officially coming to the market.
Chips from the Broadwell family are 20 to 30 percent more economical compared to their predecessor Haswell, which is supposed to be the main advantage of the new processors - significantly higher endurance of some laptops and tablets. The first swallows of the Broadwell family were the Core M chips introduced last year, but they were developed specifically for 2-in-1 hybrid devices, i.e. a combination of a tablet and a laptop.
Intel has added fourteen new processors to its portfolio with the names Core i3, i5 and i7, and the Pentium and Celeron series have also received them. This is the first time that Intel has completely changed its entire line of consumer processors in one moment.
The size of the latest processor has shrunk by a respectable 37 percent, while the number of transistors, on the other hand, has increased by 35 percent to a total of 1,3 billion. According to Intel data, Broadwell will offer 22 percent faster rendering of 3D graphics, while the video encoding speed has increased by a full half. The graphics chip has also been improved and will even allow 4K video streaming using Intel WiDi technology.
It should be noted that with its Broadwell, Intel focuses primarily on energy efficiency and maximum mobility. So Broadwell has no ambition to conquer gaming PCs. It will shine more in notebooks, tablets and hybrids of these two devices. It is very likely that Broadwell will also be used by Apple to equip its laptops, including the discussed new 12-inch MacBook Air generation.
yes, as far as durability is concerned, it's great, but more was expected from the performance.
in any case, the new Air is what I'm really looking forward to from Apple, I hope I won't spoil it.
if you care about it like you care about a watch :) it will help. air should be added in multiples
I guess! Apple does not need to impress anyone with almost anything - in the last 10 years it has created a completely unique position and gloriola of "perfection" - which is now, moreover, completely FREE, promoted by billions of its iOves.... Unfortunately, I don't expect much from this company - and I have to say that, as their once fanatical fan, I am sorry.
But hope is always the last to die... :-).
What is this nonsense? Will it offer 90 minutes more time to watch the video? That's kind of taken out of context again, isn't it? Here, it depends on where it will be installed, what will run on it and how it will be powered. Only then can we think about how long the video can be watched there. Some numerical data without further clarification is completely out of place here.
Let's hope Skylake comes out as planned - I'm already grinding my teeth on it :)
Will the MacBook have a Broadwell processor?
Air is Air, but now that Broadwell and Skylake are here, we need to bring in the MacBook Pro 17″ again - CPU/iGPU will tighten it, LCDs are probably also at an acceptable price level and my credit card is on the alert :)
Today is the time of minimization. Most people who have a MacBook 15" say that it is unnecessarily large and would be satisfied with a 13". Let alone 17″. You can just pull the case.
you mean iPhone 6+, iPad Pro (which is probably coming soon) and so on. ? ;)
But now it's important, if you've never had an MBP 17″, you'll never understand my argument, I still have a functional 2,1 model from 2006 and the larger display is justified for certain customers. The machine is not as big as 15″, but it is beautiful to see in that extra place on the display. And with the thickness and weight of the Retina MBP, even a 17″ would not be unportable. There were such arguments even in 2003 about what makes a good 17" laptop. The trend is not minimization but mobility, and the 17" Retina would still be more than a mobile (portable) laptop.
I don't even accept the estimates that they didn't sell (Mac Pro is also not about gaining market share and I think that the development was much more expensive than the design of new laptops), but rather that there were no affordable LCDs and powerful graphics that would pull it off (I haven't seen any 2012" since 17 Retina laptop not even with WinTel).
If I come with a 12" Air, maybe I'll go through the entire product line, but the time will come for the 17" :)))
Purely subjective opinion in my opinion. Yours and mine ;) Everyone is different, you can't please everyone. Personally, I am against large displays on the phone. 4″ is absolutely perfect for me. I have an iPad for more. If I were to buy a MAC, I would probably only buy a 13″ inch. However, for the iMAC I would go for 27″, as I now have a 30″ Cinema HD display from Apple. Purely subjective opinion.
Sure, we all have our own perspective. I have a rather 'scattered' life, so I prefer a powerful laptop as a desktop replacement, for which the 17" suited me perfectly (together with the 23" Cinema display when I was at home).
I haven't seen any numbers (probably no one outside of Apple) that would speak in favor of canceling the 17″, so I think the reason behind it was the high cost of components and low performance. Finally, in 2003, 12″ and 17″ Powerbooks arrived together, and 15″ followed, maybe history will repeat itself :).
add phones, we agree there, at least as far as swagger is concerned... I still have a 1st gen and a 4S and I can't let them go (especially on a 4S with iOS6), the iPhone 6 still seems like an overgrown cake to me.
I'm probably the only one who doesn't want a 12″ Air..
