Intel has Monday more details released about its new 14nm produced Core M-cpus. The cpus are designed for devices with a thickness of eight to ten millimeters, such as tablets, and come this fall on the market.

The Core M processors, which until recently were known as Broadwell, the successor to the current Haswell generation of Intel processors. The chips on 14nm produced, where formerly even 22nm. The first generation, for which the specifications last month, online published, consists of three dualcores, that passive can be cooled.

The on the Broadwell architecture based Core M chips are derived from desktop processors and a lot more powerful. According to Intel, the performance in graphics tasks of the Broadwell cpus is seven times better than that of previous chips, so writes The Wall Street Journal Monday. In addition, the chips are twice as fast for regular computing tasks and would be more fuel-efficient, which can lead to smaller batteries.

According to the chipbakker appear the first devices with the 14nm produced Broadwell processors during the holidays. The majority will, however, only after that, from next year, in consumer products appear. That’s a lot later than was planned, because Intel said initially that the first 14nm chips at the end of last year would appear. Due to unknown technical problems, however, this was not feasible.

One of the first devices with a Core M processor, the Transformer Book 300 Chi from Asus, which previously was shown. It’s going to a 12.5″tablet of something more than 7mm thick that is fully passively cooled. The Chi can in a manner be inserted to a laptop and another for the end of this year in stores.
