(iTers News) - Intel has fielded a first-of-its kind processor: 8th Gen Intel Core processor in what the world’s largest microprocessor chip maker said is designed to address pixel-heavy video-oriented applications like AR and VR when game and video enthusiasts stay in throngs.

Built with Vega M Graphics, it come embedded with quad-core CPU,  4GB of dedicated HBM2, or high bandwidth memory using Intel’s Embedded Multi-Die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB) technology.

The EMIB technology acts as a high-speed intelligent information bridge between the GPU and HBM2, speeding up the data transfer between them. As it get embedded on the SoC, it helps reduce the usual silicon footprint to less than half that of discrete components implemented separately.


With this space savings, PC OEMs have more freedom and flexibility to create innovative thin and light devices. For example, many 3-year-old systems weigh nearly 7 pounds, last a mere four hours and are more than 32 mm thick. With this new processor, enthusiast devices are slimmed to under 17 mm and can run up to eight hours on a single charge, while still delivering next-level performance. This, combined with the new real-time power sharing framework and software drivers, is a prime example of hardware and software innovations intersecting to create new possibilities.


OEM like Dell and HP are already lining up their respective 2 in PCs and NUC, intriguing video  game, VR and AR enthusiasts with stunning video performances.


For example, it can render up to three times more of frames per second on thinner, lighter and smaller devices compared with similar systems of three years ago. When it compared with current discrete graphics, it can perform up to 40% more.


Now, gamers can play the latest titles like “Vermintide 2” in high resolution on the go or in their living room with smooth motion and vivid colors, all as part of a truly immersive gaming experience.


Content creators can also do more with this new processor, whether it’s creating 3D images from scratch, editing videos seamlessly at home or on the go, or using the most popular creative applications. Compared with a 3-year-old PC with discrete graphics, content creation with Adobe Premier Pro is 42% percent faster.


Imagine the combined flexibility and performance enabled with this new processor for content creators in the growing 2 in 1 form factors for PCs.


With the performance and graphics capability to run everything from Windows* Mixed Reality headsets to Oculus*, consumers have the options of which reality fits them best – whether they want to watch live sports and movies, explore famous landmarks or play VR games – all on a PC that is sleek, thin and smaller than they expect.
