Intel has formally announced its entire lineup of sixth-generation Core processors, more commonly known by the codename "Skylake", at a press conference at the annual IFA trade show in Berlin. The company is calling this generation its most scalable ever, enabling the broadest yet range of devices including desktop PCs, all-in-ones, mobile workstations, laptops, 2-in-1s, tablets, small-form-factor boxes and even a new version of the tiny Intel Compute Stick. The company also claims that its new processors are optimized for Windows 10 and enable experiences and features that no other hardware can offer.
Intel is targeting potential upgraders, promising up to 2.5x better performance, 3x battery life, and 30x better integrated graphics than comparable processors from five years ago. The company is also promoting immersive experiences such as faster wake from sleep, effortless HD and 4K video playback, and always-on voice command response. The Skylake architecture includes several enhancements specifically targeted at mobile devices, such as support for sensors and cameras, wireless display output and docking, natural user interfaces, hardware-level security, and the DirectX 12 framework for gaming.
The company also says that its new processors can enable even thinner and lighter designs than before. PC and device manufacturers including Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer, Asus are expected to have systems featuring sixth-generation Core processors out in markets very soon
