Intel’s new 8th-Gen Core processors promise screaming speeds for laptops
While a large swath of the nation is gazing at the sky in anticipation of the solar eclipse – hopefully through proper protective eyewear – Intel is leading tech news today with the official announcement of its new 8th-Generation Core processors. Boasting a 40% boost in speed, these new chips promise to seriously speed up computing. But how did they do it?
Digital Trends Senor editor and all-around computing guru, Matt Smith, says the solution was simple: Add more cores. We took a look at the U-series of the new 8th-Gen Core processors, the current version of which may well be powering the laptop you have right now, and all chips have jumped from two cores to four, meaning future laptops are going to scream. We can expect to hear about those laptops in just a couple of weeks, as several will likely be announced at IFA in Berlin next month.
We’ll be covering IFA extensively, and you can expect to hear about the new laptops featuring Intel’s new 8th-Gen Core processors, along with lots of other exciting developments, right here at Digital Trends.
