Maximum PC: After seeing Broadwell appear on a number of leaked roadmaps, Intel today finally provided some technical details about its 14nm manufacturing process and what the future holds. The first Broadwell chip to be based on the new microarchitecture will be Intel's Core M chip, which the company expects to power a broad range of products, everything from the infrastructure of cloud computing and devices that fall within the Internet of Things (IoT), to personal and mobile computing products.

Intel's fresh-faced sixth-generation processors improve on pretty much all the important fronts: more power efficiency, more graphical oomph and that's especially true for its important Core M series that beats inside laptops and tablets. According to Kirk Skagen, Intel's General Manager, it's now making its way into even smaller devices, namely "phablets". (He said it, not us.) While the line between tablets and phones couldn't be blurrier these days, if Intel's Core M family of chips make it into your next Android phone, it'd be powerful enough do to almost everything your laptop does.
It's been difficult to gauge just how much better Intel's 5th-gen CPU is over the 4th-gen, until now.
CPU World: Intel this week launched first Braswell systems on a chip for entry-level desktops and notebooks. Based on 14nm technology, Braswell SoCs are powered by new CPU and GPU architectures, and come with higher general processing and graphics performance at the same or lower TDP than the previous generation of entry-level SoCs. Intel currently offers mobile Celeron N3000, N3050, N3150, and Pentium N3700. Celeron N3050, N3150 and Pentium N3700 will be also available in desktop PCs.
