David Perlmutter, Intel Corporation's chief product officer unveiled Intel's 4th generation processors at the Intel Developer Forum at San Francisco yesterday, which will bring about a significant power reduction over the previous generation, providing longer battery life, improved performance, and sleeker form-factors.
Laptops, convertibles, Sandy Bridge ultra books and other mobile devices are slated to be available using the low-power 22nm "Haswell" micro architecture by 2013, which will reduce platform idle power by more than 20 times over the 2nd generation Sandy Bridge cores. Operating at about 10 watts, Haswell chips will also sport improved HD graphics support, new instructions for faster encryption and performance, new hardware-based security features.
According to Intel, more than 140 different Ultrabook designs are in development, with more than 70 powered by 3rd generation Intel Core processors available today. The 22nm Haswell processor will incorporate gesture and voice interaction capabilities as well.
Intel will be releasing the company's first ever Perceptual Computing Software Development Kit, which will enable hardware and software developers to bring gesture interaction, facial and voice recognition, and augmented reality to Intel PCs and ultrabooks. A demonstration of Dragon Beta Assistant was also demoed on the XPS 13 Ultrabook, click on the video below for a quick highlights reel of yesterday's proceedings.
