Intel GM and Senior Vice President, Kirk Skaugen said in the press release: “6th Gen Intel Core processors deliver some of the most significant advancements in computing that we’ve ever seen”.

Intel has launch its new line of processors, nicknamed “Skylake”, ahead of the IFA Tech Show, which takes places from September 4-9 in Berlin, according to BBC News. Retail, medical, industrial, and digital surveillance and security industries will all benefit from the new 6th Gen Intel Core processor improvements and includes IoT designs from the edge to the cloud. Intel boasts that the Skylake graphics are 30 times faster.

Finally, for the many capabilities that Intel hopes that Skylake will bring to fruition, it is worth noting that not all Skylake-powered devices may offer them at the moment.

Along with this, it also unveiled updated Core M processors -the Core M3, M5 and M7 chips – meant particularly for tablets and 2-in-1 hybrid devices that double up as tablets and notebooks with detachable keyboards.

Intel moved on to talk about PC gaming and the power its upcoming Iris graphics will provide.

Intel claims that the Skylake chips will lead to increased performance, graphics power and battery life for laptops.

In addition, the new Intel Core and Intel Xeon platforms will offer a variety of new features and experiences. They will also offer longer battery life, improved performance and smoother gaming and video, according to the chip maker. The latest processors will also support wireless display, enabling users to more easily share computer content to TVs, monitors and projectors, Intel said. However, just don’t forget that Intel is planning to deliver their revolutionary solid state drives and other products in 2016 based on their 3D XPoint technology. “We are committed to turning this vision of no passwords into reality, and with features like Windows Hello in Windows 10 paired with a 6th-Gen Intel Core processor-based system with Intel RealSense technology, you can use your face to securely and quickly log in to your device”.
