Intel has predicted that its newest family of PC microprocessors, code-named Skylake will shore up the sale of Personal Computers (PCs) in 2016.
According to Intel, the new chips, which is dubbed 6th Gen Intel Core Processor is available for tablet computers and high-end gaming PCs.
Speaking at a demo session to introduce the new technology, Olubunmi Ekundare, managing director of Intel Corporation West Africa, described Skylake as Intel’s best processor ever.
He explained that Skylake delivers significantly better performance in key areas, including lower power usage and enhanced graphics that are 30 times better than the standard, delivering smooth gaming and video experiences.
He said, “these are both critical issues in computer gaming, mobile workstations and other graphics-intensive markets that the new Skylake-based systems will be targeting.
Also Skylake helps to solve some of the most nagging issues consumers have with PCs, securely eliminating older-style passwords and reducing wires with power, USB, and Thunderbolt over one tiny USB-C cable.”
Ekundare noted that Skylake is also the most power-scalable processor Intel has ever created with SKUs ranging from 4.5W to 45W, meaning that the new chips will benefit solutions ranging from stick PCs to mini PCs to tablets, convertibles, laptops, desktops and all-in-ones.
