Skylake based processors the 'best yet', says Intel


Intel has launched what it calls its best processor yet. According to the company, the 6th Generation Intel Core processor family delivers enhanced performance at the lowest power levels yet while supporting designs ranging from compute sticks to mobile workstations.

"6th Gen Intel Core processors deliver some of the most significant advancements in computing that we've seen," said Kirk Skaugen, general manager of Intel's Client Computing Group. "New 6th Gen Intel Core based systems are more responsive than ever, with enhanced performance, battery life and security."

Featuring the Skylake microarchitecture and manufactured on Intel's 14nm process technology, the processor family is said to include several firsts for mobile designs, including a mobile K SKU that is unlocked to enable overclocking, a quad core Core i5 processor that offers improved mobile multitasking and the Xeon E3 processor family for mobile workstations.

The Skylake architecture, in development for more than four years, delivers high processor and graphics performance, high resolution video playback. According to Intel, the architecture brings an improvement in energy efficiency of up to 60% for some versions, whilst enabling higher performance.

The family spans a range of applications. At the desktop end, the Core i7-6700K is available in quad and octa core variants, supporting clock rates of up to 4.2GHz and drawing 91W. However, at the other end of the scale, the Core m7-6Y75 – available in dual and quad core variants – runs at up to 3.1GHz, but draws only 4.5W.
