Intel launched in Ifa I Skylake technology show

Intel has launched its latest range of processors, code-named Skylake, targeting everything from high-powered teams playing computer the size of a USB stick and smartphones.
The "sixth generation" Core family promises improved performance, battery life and graphics power thanks to a new microarchitecture.

The chips have also been optimized to better manage 4K videos.
But the US company could find it difficult to convince users that need new devices.
Microsoft is offering its latest operating system - Windows 10 - as a free update for the software suggests consumers should not be more demanding on processors that Windows 7 or Windows 8.
In the past, many households bought new computers when they wanted to upgrade operating systems, but could not do so on this occasion.

In addition, the slowdown in China's economy and the continued weakness of many European markets could cause businesses and governments to delay upgrading your kit.
Still, Intel said there are more than 500 million computers in use that are four years old or more.
And one analyst agreed that Skylake presents the company with new opportunities.
"A fairly large number of people who have an old PC and who are upgrading to Windows 10 will do so in a new team," said industry analyst Jack Gold technology.

"The most important thing to be attractive is the fact that power-requirements have been substantially reduced.

Intel manufacturing setbacks faced by making its latest generation of Core chips
"That will enable new form factors. - Thinner, lighter, smaller devices that do not need a fan to draw less power and more likely to get between 10 and 12 hours of life without adding much extra weight in batteries ".
Compressed 4K

Intel scheduled its release to coincide with IFA technology show in Berlin.
"Versus the core fifth generation, we are talking about an active power reduction of 60% and at the same time an increase in yield of 60%," Gregory Bryant Intel executive told the BBC before the event.

This is partly thanks to a technology called Speed ​​Shift, he said, which allows processors to "shift gears" faster than before in order to reduce the amount of time they are kept running at its most high frequency energy when not needed.
Although this can only shorten each period by tens of milliseconds, the savings add up.
"In addition we have been in a march of several years to dramatically improve the graphics performance, and we're saying that there's even a 40% increase from generation-to-generation," said Mr. Bryant.

Skylake chips are designed to handle a new type of video compression
I said the chips were optimized to handle the new H.265 video codec - a new compression standard that allows 4K video files using less data being heard without sacrificing image quality.
4K video is four times the resolution of 1080p HD.
H.265 adoption has been delayed until now because some processors have difficulty handling the situation.
An observer company said last Intel chip design reflects current habits.
"We are in an age of consumption - people are seeing more and more video streams, games [easy] video and do other things that involve a lot of graphics, but do not require a lot of computing resources as the content and was created "said Sergis Mushell of tech consultancy Gartner.
Refrigerated Games
Intel has, however, targeted a specific niche of consumers who enjoy pushing their processors to the limit.

Intel will sell chips "unlocked" made for mobile devices for the first time
For the first time, it is supporting the "overclocking" of some of its chips for mobile devices.
The practice involves pushing processors to perform calculations at a higher speed than that set for causing more heat are emitted. In the past, Intel had closed its mobile chips to prevent this.
"Intel says something like 10% of the PC market is extreme gamers, and that's who it is," said Jack Gold.
"For boys and girls who want to refresh their laptops with liquid nitrogen [and other substances] and get the most you can from them."

Intel says it plans to launch more than 48 variants of Skylake processor in the coming months
In the coming months, Intel said it plans to launch about 50 different variants of Skylake processors.
However, he indicated that manufacturers must promote their new computers talking facilities complement rather than rely on new chip features.
Suggestions include:
It includes a depth camera REALSENSE Intel, which can be used so that users log on to a Windows 10 look at the sensor, and it is harder to fool traditional 2D webcams
Support for Ready Mode technology enterprise, allowing users wake a computer with your voice
WiGig adding a chip to allow laptops and tablets to be connected to external displays and other peripherals without the need for wires plug-in
These innovations can, indeed, be added to the computers work with older chips.

But since it is likely to become more frequent with the deployment of Skylake, an analyst agreed that it made sense to focus on them.
"Consumers are looking for what they can do differently in their systems compared to what they can do today," said Patrick Moorhead, founder of Moor Insights & Strategy.
"Therefore, the strategy of promoting what can be realized with computers instead of the speed of the chips and feeds is smart."
Intel's next challenge is to try to ensure that production of the chips smoothly.
Trouble making their chips earlier Broadwell caused several variants to be released later than expected, and led some buyers decide to wait rather than Skylake.
Intel says that the first of the new PC should be on sale later this year.
