LAS VEGAS—Intel’s Core M processor promised a new wave of small-screen tablets. But at CES 2015, Intel hustled in the main event: the launch of the fifth-generation “Broadwell-U” Core processor for mainstream desktops and notebooks.
The new Core processors—over 14 of them, including new chips designed for consumer and business PCs, as well as Pentium and Celeron-branded chips—were launched on Monday, the preview day before the Consumer Electronics Show begins.
Intel’s new Broadwell ships are now shipping—except for the high-end, 28-watt parts that include Intel’s premier integrated graphics, the new Iris Graphics 6100. Those will wait until the end of the first quarter to ship. And with Intel’s next chip, Skylake, waiting in the wings, it’s no wonder Intel’s hardware partners plan to show off a slew of Broadwell systems at CES.
