Intel unveils 3G processors for PCs

Intel Corporation has unveiled its latest in stock quad-core Third Generation (3G) Intel Core processor family, with a promise to deliver dramatic visual and performance computing gains for gamers, media enthusiasts and mainstream users alike.

The product, which is now available in powerful, high-end desktop, laptop and sleek all-in-one (AIO) designs, ITRealms Online gathered are the first chips in the world made using Intel’s 22-nanometer (nm) 3-D tri-Gate transistor technology.

Intel vice president and general manager of the PC Client Group, Kirk Skaugen, said that the combination of Intel’s cutting-edge 3-D tri-gate transistor technology and architectural enhancements help make possible up to double the 3-D graphics and high definition (HD) media processing performance compared with Intel’s previous generation of chips.

He also said that as a result of the stunning, built-in visual performance, all the things people love to do on their PCs; from creating and editing videos and photos, surfing the Web, watching HD movies or playing mainstream games that are quicker, crisper and more life-like.

“With as much as 20 per cent microprocessor performance improvements and new technologies to speed the flow of data to and from the chips, the new processors further extend Intel’s overall performance leadership,” he said.

In the coming months, he pointed out that additional versions of the 3rd generation Intel Core processors will be available to power a new wave of systems ranging from Ultrabook devices, to servers and intelligent systems in retail, healthcare and other industries.

The 3G Intel Core processors, he said, were created from the ground up to generate exciting new experiences, stressing that Intel engineers have exceeded the expectations by doubling the performance of media and graphics versus the best processors ever built until today, which means incredible new visual experiences are here for new all-in-one PCs and upcoming Ultrabook devices.

“What makes all this possible is the combination of Intel’s leading manufacturing and processor architecture, and our unwavering commitment to drive computing innovations forward," he said.
