Intel announced today a new series of processors from the U and Y series, which will offer huge autonomy for the battery thanks to their very high energy efficiency. More precisely, Intel claims that its processors from the U and Y series offer up to 16 hours of autonomy for laptop batteries, much more than is offered at the moment.
Intel has presented these processors so far with the names Whiskey Lake si Amber lake, and according to the company, they are designed for thin and light laptops. These processors are designed to offer the best possible performance for mobility, and with autonomy of up to 16 hours, they will certainly be in high demand.
Intel Announces Processors with HUGE Battery Life
Intel today announced the i7-8565U, i5-8265U, and i3-8145U processors, the first with a standard speed of 1.8 GHz, which increases to 4.6 GHz via TurboBoost, the second with 1.6 GHz and 3.6 GHz, the last with 2 GHz and 3.9 GHz . The first two processors are quad-core, and the last dual-core, all with Gigabit Wi-Fi with up to 2 times better performance than the previous generation.
"8th Gen Intel Core U-series processors bring integrated Gigabit Wi-Fi to thin and light mainstream laptops for the first time, delivering up to 12-times faster connectivity speeds. They also offer up to 2-times better performance, compared with a 5-year-old PC, and double-digit gains in office productivity for everyday web browsing and light content creation over the previous generation. This leap in connectivity and performance will help empower people to focus, create and connect at home, in the office and on-the-go."
Inte also launched the i7-8500, i5-8200Y, and m3-8100Y series of processors with frequencies of 1.1 - 1.3 GHz, reaching up to 3.4 GHz with TurboBoost, the autonomy being able to increase up to 19 hours with optimizations. Of course, all of this also depends on what the manufacturers do with the hardware that Intel offers, so real-world performance can be very different from what many people expect.
