Intel s 8th Gen Core U-series, Y-series processors are here
New Delhi Aug 29 (IANS) Making new additions to its 8th Gen Core processor line-up Intel on Wednesday introduced the U-series and Y-series chips that are optimised for connectivity in thin light laptops and two-in-ones.
The unveiled 8th Gen Intel Core U-Series processors include i7-8565U i5-8265U and i3-8145U while the 8th Gen Intel Core Y-Series processors include i7-8500 i5-8200Y and m3-8100Y.
The new Intel Core U-series processors bring integrated Gigabit Wi-Fi to thin and light mainstream laptops for the first time and promised to deliver up to 12-times faster connectivity speeds.
The U-series is more powerful among the two families of processors announced by the chipset maker.
"The new 8th Gen Intel Core processors come with Gigabit Wi-Fi and now we ve enabled faster PC connectivity added more intuitive voice experiences and enabled longer battery life needed for the next wave of mobile computing " Chris Walker Vice President of the Client Computing Group and General Manager of Intel Mobile Client Platform said in a statement.
Notably PC manufacturers would start bringing laptops and two-in-ones powered by the new 8th Gen Intel Core U-series and Y-series processors beginning this autumn.
The new U-series and Y-series chips formerly code-named Whiskey Lake and Amber Lake respectively would also provide ultimate mobile performance and long battery life.
The Y-series processors deliver fast connectivity options including fast Wi-Fi and LTE capabilities.
Both the series of processors have new and improved platform capabilities for intelligent interactions with PCs such as support for multiple voice services on the U-series and refinements to improve natural input options like touch and stylus for the Y-series.
