The shrink down to smaller and smaller fabrication processes from the chip giants isn’t just creating a surge in computing power, it’s also a massive boost for computing efficiency. The latest figures from Intel reveal its upcoming Skylake processors will consume as little as 60% the power of their Broadwell equivalents.
A newly published document from Intel details its upcoming Core M ‘Skylake’ chips, which run on significantly less than power than the already efficient Core M ‘Broadwell’. For mobile devices this means longer lasting batteries, faster performance, and thinner and light machines than ever before.
In terms of gaming performance we’re looking at a 50% boost over Intel’s current Broadwell GT3e Iris Pro Graphics, as measured on 3DMark 11 and 3DMark Vantage, owed chiefly to the increase in Stream Processors. In terms of power draw we're looking at 45W for Skylake and 47W for Broadwell, despite the gulf in graphics performance.
The mobile Core M processors detailed here will come with brand new technologies such as wireless charging and WiGig support, which offers superfast wireless download speeds. Intel's Skylake microprocessor range is expected to arrive in the second half of this year, covering both desktop and mobile variants.
