So far it hasn’t released any details in that regard, however, we can expect to see the usual uplift in battery life that Intel packs into new Core processors and faster performance including better integrated graphics.

“Intel Xeon-based mobile workstations will have key features such as error-correcting code memory that automatically detects and repairs errors on-the-fly that cause data corruption and system crashes for peace-of-mind reliability”, Intel says in a blog. Intel is stating that by default all E3-1500M v5 processors will have vPro (which was to be expected) as well as Thunderbolt 3 using Type-C and access to ECC memory. Intel is bringing its much acclaimed Xeon processor family to laptops recognizing the need of high processing needs in portable workstations and increasing trend of mobile workstation usage. Intel has also promised to create a list of certified software for computer-aided design, engineering, and digital media production, so owners will know which programs are guaranteed to work without issue on their machines.
The E3-1500M V5 will be available this fall when Skylake is officially launched, but for more specific information, stay tuned to our coverage of the Intel Developer Forum which starts August 18. These Xeon chips are fascinating; yet don’t hope to crush your octa-core desktop workstation into a laptop yet.
Two days before, Intel took the wraps off its first CPUs as part of its long-awaited sixth-generation 14nm Skylake microarchitecture platform – revealing two high-end processors aimed at PC enthusiasts and gamers. These chipsets clock in at four cores, making it impossible to run anything more than that. The chips will also have Thunderbolt 3 interface technology as standard.
