(iTers News) - Intel Korea unveiled a 5th generation Intel core processor codenamed Broadwell, a move to pump up new excitements in long-idle notebook PC markets, as PC users are looking for new features like 3D graphics gaming 3D cameras, and 4K UHD video image rendering.      

Built around its first 14nm architecture Broadwell core that was fabricated with a 14nm 3D trig-gate manufacturing process, the 5th generation core processor comes built with 1.9 billion transistors, a whopping 35% gain from its predecessor 22nm Haswell architecture in the transistor density. Yet, it silicon footprint was 37% down.

What especially makes it stand out from its predecessor Haswell is a great improvement in its 3D graphic processing performances. Compared with the Haswell, it boasts 22% and 50% gains in 3D graphic processing and video encoding and decoding speed, respectively, fast enough to process data-heavy 4K UHD video images.

Intel has built a full line of its CPU family from high-end i3, i5, and i7 family to low-end entry-level Pentium and Celeron.

The full line-up of 5th generation M core across all CPU family to premium to entry-level represents Intel’s high-stakes bet drive notebook demand by keep up with strong market demand for data-rich video applications for 3D games, augmented reality, or AR and 4K contents rendering.

Intel expects about 7 PC makers to bring about 20 brand new Broadwell core-powered notebook models to market sometime in January, including Asus, Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, Lenovo, HP, Dell, and Acer.
