Processor manufacturing company Intel has released a new series of chips, making progress with its plans to enter the booming mobile market.
The Haswell-codenamed next generation chips have been designed to fit thinner, lighter models, as well as longer lasting computers.
The fourth generation core chip will be able to provide the longest battery life to notebooks, with a predicted 50 per cent lifespan extension compared to third generation chip-equipped PCs.
According to Kirk Skaugen, senior vice president and general manager at Intel PC, notebooks should have an extended battery life of nine hours, compared to the previous average of six.
“We think personal computing is being redefined,” Skauken told CNET.
He continued: “That’s good for Intel and good for our partners…. There has been more innovation with personal computing in the last year than in the last 10 years.”
Ultrabooks and light PCs will specifically benefit from the new chips.
Samsung has announced yesterday (Monday) it will be making use of Intel chips for its new series of 30 Android tablets.
Intel also released Atom mobile processors in May.
