Intel announces Ice Lake will be the very first 10nm processors to power laptops.
Intel isn’t messing around. At its CES 2019 keynote it introduced Ice Lake, the very first series of its processors to be built upon its 10nm Sunny Cove architecture.
The company didn’t just announce the chip was coming – it showed an actual piece of silicon and it powering a laptop with performance testing. The company claimed that Ice Lake chips can search for images two times faster than even a modern laptop.
Ice Lake will also be Intel’s first chips to come with built in built-in Thunderbolt 3 integration, Wi-Fi connectivity and Gen II graphics – the last of which is capable of powering a 4K display.
Intel also demonstrated how users will be able to play with its amped-up Gen II integrated graphics. Unfortunately, Intel didn’t disclose any setting that they were playing the game at.
