“The new 8th Gen Intel Core processors extend
once again our leadership in delivering exceptional performance.
Now with Gigabit Wi-Fi, 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
Why They are Important: New 8th Gen Intel Core U-series
and Y-series processors raise the bar for connectivity,
performance, entertainment and productivity for today’s laptops and
2 in 1s. The 8th Gen Intel Core U-series processors bring
integrated Gigabit Wi-Fi to thin and light mainstream laptops for
the first time, delivering up to 12-times1 faster connectivity
speeds. They also offer up to 2-times better performance, compared
with a 5-year-old PC, and double-digit gains in office productivity
for everyday web browsing and light content creation over the
previous generation2. This leap in connectivity and performance
will help empower people to focus, create and connect at home, in
the office and on-the-go. Consumers can now download their favorite
shows and movies in under a minute3, create, edit and share 4K/360
video content 6.5-times faster4, and stream and play games,
including “World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth”* and “World of
Tanks.”*
8th Gen Intel Core Y-series processors also deliver fast
connectivity options, including fast Wi-Fi and LTE capabilities
with unprecedented performance, to the some of the thinnest and
lightest laptops and 2 in 1s in the market with double-digit gains
in performance compared with the previous generation6, enabling
fresh innovations in sleek and compact form factor designs with
extended battery life.
Both the U-series and Y-series processors have new and improved
platform capabilities for more 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.
What They Feature: 8th Gen Intel Core U-Series Processor (i7-8565U, i5-8265U,
i3-8145U) -- The latest 8th Gen Intel Core i7, i5 and i3
(U-series) processors deliver the ultimate performance in a 15-watt
envelope with up to four cores and eight threads for mainstream
laptops and 2 in 1s. Other key features and capabilities:
- For the first time on this class of
processors, Intel is delivering blazing fast connectivity with
integrated Gigabit Wi-Fi with Intel® Wireless-AC for faster
sharing, streaming and downloading.1 Paired with Intel LTE modem
options, consumers will have fast connectivity wherever they
are.7
- Working with the PC ecosystem, Intel is
delivering incredible performance in power-efficient platforms.
With the new U-series processors, laptops and 2 in 1s get the extra
leap in performance while also lasting up to 16 hours on a single
charge, with power-optimized systems targeted to achieve about 19
hours.5
- Consumers can simplify their lives and
get more done with Amazon Alexa* and Microsoft Cortana* to help
control lighting and temperature in their homes, play music, create
lists and shop with the sound of their voice, whether they are at
home or on-the-go.
