CES 2010 isn’t all about gadgets; on the hardware side of things, Intel has announced tasty new 32nm additions to the Intel Core family. Backed by Intel’s $7 billion dollar investment, the 32nm manufacturing process—which includes Intel’s second-generation high-k metal gate transistors—brings increased performance to your PC while decreasing energy consumption. All of these CPUs provide consumers with a wide array of options at every price point.
"For the first time, there's a new family of Intel processors with the industry's most advanced technology available immediately at virtually every PC price point," said Sean Maloney, executive vice president and general manager of the Intel Architecture Group. "These smart processors adapt to an individual's needs, automatically providing a ‘boost' of performance for everyday applications. They become energy efficient to the point of shutting down processing cores or reducing power consumption to provide performance when people need it, and energy efficient when they don't."
With the i3 CPUs having Intel Hyper-Threading technology along with Intel HD Graphics, and the i5s and i7s having Intel Turbo Boost technology in addition to HD Graphics and Hyper-Threading, consumers are presented with a wide array of smart, powerful, and energy-efficient CPUs. Along with PC processors, Intel has also announced the new 2010 Intel Core embedded processor lineup, targeting devices such as ticket kiosks, digital signs, ATMs, industrial machines, and medial equipment, among various other devices. Intel expects 200 platform designs for embedded devices that utilize these chips.
Intel’s new CPU lineup is making its way onto the store shelves; an Engadget reader tipped them off on Intel Core i3/i5 chips that have began shipping on Newegg. They may be viewed here.
