Intel ups the ante on graphics and video with fifth-generation Core processors
Intel is hoping to bring better graphics, media and video performance to mobiles and PCs with a new lineup of processors that boosts its fifth-generation Intel Core range.
The chip manufacturer kicked off Computex in Taipei today with an opening keynote, talking up the implications of improved processing power and the future of digital devices. While Computex has brought 130,000 people to the Taiwanese capital to see what will shape computing in 2015, Intel was clearly setting the agenda for what manufacturers will be packing inside their devices for the year ahead.
After unveiling its fifth-generation processor family, codenamed "Broadwell," at CES in Las Vegas earlier this year, Intel announced that it had "augmented" its lineup with five new desktop processors and five mobile processors, all geared towards media- and graphics-hungry consumers.
