The next wave of mobile-grade, fanless processors from Intel, ‘Amber Lake,’ just had what’s likely its entire lineup leaked through both Romanian technology news website NextLab 501 and a Dell product listing in Chile.
Intel’s line of mobile-focused processors continues the existing trend of using the letter ‘Y’ to denote this range, though listing the lowest-end model as an ‘m3′ chip rather than an ‘i3′. However, don’t assume this chip is cheap, as it’s a marked improvement upon the previous generation in clock speed.
In fact, all three of the supposed new Y series Intel processors are improvements upon their predecessors, as they should be. All three processors are reportedly dual-core chips built on Intel’s now long-in-the-tooth 14-nanometer process using 5W of power to drive Intel UHD 615 graphics with a 4MB cache.
Now, here’s the further breakdown regarding each of the three newly leaked Amber Lake chips, namely their names and clock speeds:
- Intel Core m3-8100Y: 1.1GHz (up to 3.4GHz Turbo Boost)
- Intel Core i5-8200Y: 1.3GHz (up to 3.9GHz Turbo Boost)
- Intel Core i5-8500Y: 1.5GHz (up to 4.2GHz Turbo Boost)
According to NextLab’s report, these processors are expected to be ready for Q3 2018, so that’s between July and September of …read more
