Yield problems with the company\u2019s new 14nm manufacturing process forced Intel to stagger Broadwell\u2019s rollout. The low-power, low-performance Core M chips came first, followed by faster U-series dual-core parts a few months later. And today, the rollout ends with the release of a dozen higher-performance quad-core chips destined for enthusiast- and workstation-class desktops and laptops.<\/p>\n<p>Though these chips will probably bring improvements in power consumption and CPU performance, the real star is Intel\u2019s new top-end integrated GPU, the Iris Pro 6200. For the first time, Intel is offering Iris Pro as a socketed desktop part rather than a BGA version soldered to motherboards.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll get performance numbers when we actually have finished systems to test, but for now let\u2019s run down what Intel is promising, what chips it\u2019s releasing, and what kinds of systems they\u2019re going to end up in.<\/p>\n<p>A limited launch<\/p>\n<p>Intel is releasing a limited number of these quad-core Broadwell processors, focused mostly on chips that will go into systems that walk the line between size and performance (think Apple\u2019s 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro on the laptop side or Gigabyte\u2019s Brix Pro desktop). There are five desktop chips and five laptop chips, for a total of 10.<\/p>\n<p>Other systems, particularly midrange and low-end desktops currently served by Haswell chips, are going to have to keep waiting. As we reported last year, Broadwell is skipping these kinds of systems entirely\u2014the next versions of those chips will be based on the next-generation Skylake architecture, which will bring with it new chipsets and a new CPU socket.<\/p>\n<p>Read More: <a href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2015\/06\/intel-launches-long-delayed-quad-core-broadwell-cpus-and-the-iris-pro-6200-gpu\/\" target=\"_blank\">Intel launches long-delayed quad-core Broadwell CPUs and the Iris Pro 6200 GPU | Ars Technica<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo: Intel The first products based on Intel\u2019s Broadwell chips were introduced last fall, but it was not a smooth [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3,10],"tags":[150,529],"class_list":["post-8354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hardware","category-technology","tag-broadwell","tag-intel"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/papNkV-2aK","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7329,"url":"https:\/\/nccomputertech.com\/techtalk\/2015\/01\/05\/intel-brings-next-gen-broadwell-processor-tech-to-mainstream-notebooks-desktops\/","url_meta":{"origin":8354,"position":0},"title":"Intel brings next-gen &#8216;Broadwell&#8217; processor tech to mainstream notebooks, desktops","author":"NCCT","date":"January 5, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"LAS VEGAS\u2014Intel\u2019s Core M processor promised a new wave of small-screen tablets.
