HCM CITY (Biz Hub) — Intel Viet Nam today officially announced the launch of its latest family of core processors.

The 4th generation Intel Core processors can bring a 50 per cent improvement in battery life in active workloads over the previous generations.

The core processor also has two to three times better standby battery life, according to David McCloskey, Intel Asia-Pacific director of product marketing and business operations.

This is the largest generation-over-generation gain in the company's history, enabling over nine hours of battery life in active workloads for some Ultrabooks based on the new processors.

The new chips also offer significant improvements in integrated graphics performance, offering consumers a better gaming experience, he said.

The new processors are the first SoCs (system on chip) for PCs with stunning performance and power a variety of innovative devices, including Ultrabook, 2-in-1 and portable all-in-one designs.

"We made one of the most seismic changes to our roadmap ever when we built these new core processors," said McCloseky. — VNS
