By year end, the market will be based on the ultra-thin tablet Windows 8.1


Last week, Intel announced new mobile processors Llama Mountain, created on the basis of advanced microarchitecture Broadwell. System Broadwell - a further development of the current chips Haswell, on its basis will be created in the future Intel Core i chips fifth generation. first company showed prerelease versions of the new chips Core M, as well as prototypes of tablets with screen sizes of 12.5 and 10 inches. Among new products you can attach a keyboard and get them full of laptops. The thickness of the first model of 0.28 inches, the second - 0.26 inches. Of all the models based on Intel microchips new items are the thinnest. Experts say that based on chips Llama Mountain, you can create a very thin tablet models that can give odds even iPad Mini, at the same time, these models are powerful enough to work with the new Windows 8.1 . Thus, with the new Core M users who are in need of a thin mobile solution, but not ready to abandon Windows, can get exactly what they need. But there fly in the ointment: in Intel announced Core M, but flatly refused to speak, when you can wait for the new processors, and especially their appearance in the plates. Under the most optimistic scenario, it will fall. Among Asus say that based on Core M will create their hybrid tablet Transformer Book T300 Chi. Exactly when the model will be on the market remains to be seen, but the company says that it will work on the basis of Windows 8.1 and chips Llama Mountain. Thickness of the model was 7.3 mm, but the model will be 12.5-inch screen with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels. For comparison, the thickness of the Microsoft Surface 3 with a 12-inch screen is 9.1 mm. However, the mobility has another side: so, Chi will only microUSB-port and will not support LTE (though and Surface 3 there is none .) As described in the company, the new chips will be based on the architecture used in popular processors Core i3, i5 and i7, more precisely in their mobile implementations. Core M will consume less than 10 watts, which distinguishes them from all other chips Core. "This is the most energy-efficient Intel in history" - says Renee James, president of Intel. According to her, the purpose of the new Core M - increase the performance of the Core family on mobile devices. Core M will not require fans to work, and devices based on them will be available by the end of the year.
