as many of you probably already know Intel 7th generation Core processors code-named KB Lake are far away built on the 14 nanometer design process cable a could be the success of the sky leg initially Schaick was to be succeeded by the 10 nanometer cannon Lake Architecture however way back in July 2015 Intel announced that cannon Lake will be delayed until the second half of 2017 now in the third quarter of 2016 many enthusiasts are hotly anticipating the arrival of cable a well today Intel is officially announcing the release of their seventh generation Core processors though not the desktop parts many of you will be interested in rather today marks the arrival of the mobile processor from the U ultra-low power and why extremely low power series these processors feature a TDP ranging from 4.5 watts up to 15 watts and are intended to power twin ones and ultra thin notebooks unfortunately the enthusiast grade desktop and notebook processors that I and probably most of you were interested in won't be arriving until next year entails officially stated a January 2017 release for their more serious seventh gen Core processors another five-month way probably isn't what you wanted to hear and this means cable aches should be arriving around the same time as AMD's hugely anticipated Xen processors exciting times ahead indeed for now we have the low powered cable like processes to give us some insight into the kind of improvements Intel has made to their latest microarchitecture the headline here being the Intel is claiming a 12% performance increase over skylake in fact Intel says the core i7 7500 you will be up to 12 percent faster than the i-765 hundred you for productivity tasks based on performance seen when testing with sis Marc 2014 though I should point out that there is up to a 13 percent difference in operating frequency between these two processes in favor of the 7500 you so you have to wonder how much difference the updated architecture makes you comparing the same processes Intel says the i7 7500 you will be up to 19% faster for web-based applications these claims are based on web XP RT 2015 performance and again with up to a 13% clock speed advantage we wondered just how much faster the seventh gen processor really is Intel also claims there'll be significant productivity and responsiveness gains over the six gen processor they even go as far to say KB Lake is built using the 14 nanometer plus process although they didn't say exactly what the changes are they claimed that the 40 nanometer process used 4 KB Lake is so well refined that when compared to the 14 nanometer process for sky lake it warrants the plus the focus for these low-power chips has been on improving 4k video playback along with 360-degree videos and multiple video stream performance included as a new media engine built upon the gen 9 graphics architecture there's also support for a new HEV C 10 bit decode capability this should enable smooth premium playback for 4k content likewise the new vp9 decotape abilities should provide power efficient smooth 4k 360-degree playback while multitasking the improved power efficiency means that ultra portable devices can run for up to nine and a half hours playing 4k content before sucking the battery dry as far as the product lineup and availability goes you should start seeing devices featuring core m3 and core i3 Core i5 and core i7 seventh gen processors Intel expects the OEM partners to start shipping seventh gen enabled systems to users by early September so what are the processes you can expect to see from the Y series there are three new processes the cry 7 7 y 7 5 Core i5 7 y5 4 and Core m37 y3o all three of dual core processors with hyper-threading 4 4 threads the key difference being the operating frequency the i7 7 y7 5 features a base clock of 1.3 gigahertz with a maximum single core frequency of 3.6 gigahertz the i5 7 y5 4 can crank up to 3.2 gigahertz and the m3 is 7 y3o just 2.6 gigahertz then there's the u series which sports the core i7 7500 u core i5 7200 u and core i3 7100 you again these are all dual core processors boasting 4 threads the only noteworthy differences are the frequencies though I should know Intel doesn't list the capacity with the various cases the i3 is 7100 u is locked at 2.4 gigahertz while the i5 7200 you can run as fast as 3.1 gigahertz the i7 7500 you up to 3.5 gigahertz Intel suggests a price of 281 for the core i5 core i3 and core m3 processes while the core i7 models cost 393 us both the Y Series and new series processors have integrate platform input and output the Y Series and premium u series processes support three independent displays raid and hcit's support Intel Smart Response technology a high definition audio smart sound technology up to six USB 3 ports and four SATA 6 gigabits per second ports the baseline u series processors drop raid support Intel Smart Response technology they support just 4 USB 3 ports and two-sided 6 cubed per second ports overall it's a really interesting lineup from Intel and I'm keen to see just how well devices sporting these seventh-generation core processors perform what do you
