Intel Haswell processor

The Haswell SoCs will offer much better graphics capabilities than current Intel chips, a key consideration for such tasks as video and gaming.

A closeup shot of an Intel die, with a pin for size reference. Intel In the semiconductor world, integration is omnipresent, driven by Moore’s Law. Integration reduces power and cost while increasing performance. The latest realization of this trend is the System-on-a-Chip (SoC) approach pervasive...

The next generation Intel CPUs, named Haswell, offer support for 4k displays even in the lowest-power version likely to be used in the MacBook Air – making a Retina MBA a feasible option for the first time. Intel has announced that its Haswell processors will offer a choice of three different...

Intel is clearly tired of Nvidia and AMD kicking sand in its face when it comes to graphics performance. The company has had a talented GPU engineering team for many years. With the fourth generation of Intel’s Core CPU line—codenamed Haswell—those engineers finally get to strut their stuff. And...

A document released on Wednesday sheds some light on Intel's forthcoming Core i7 processors, which will boast new integrated graphics silicon that promises to double or even triple performance compared to existing models.

Tonight Intel gave its (high-end) processor graphics a new name : Iris. Along with the new brand disclosure, Intel did let a few details slip about Haswell TDPs. High-end desktop parts creep up to 84W (Core i7-4770K). All socketed desktop Haswell CPUs will either use Intel HD Graphics (GT1) or...
