During the Taipei Computer Show in early June, Intel disclosed a number of future new products, including Ultra low power area will be upgraded to Amber Lake-Y, replacing Kaby Lake-Y released in the third quarter of 2016, for mobile devices such as tablet, two-in-one, ultrabook, entry notebook.
Amber Lake-Y can also be considered part of the eight-generation Core family. 14nm++ in process(Second polished upgrade version), the architecture is basically unchanged, so the main change is also to increase the frequency and performance, but the power consumption has also increased slightly.
There are always three models in the new generation. Are still dual-core four-threaded, 4MB L3 cache, GPU core graphics card name changed from HD 615 to UHD 615, the estimated frequency will not change.
The highest end is Core i7-8500Y The basic frequency is 1.5GHz (accelerated 200MHz), and the turbo frequency acceleration has two states. Dual-core Turbo 3.6GHz (equivalent to the original single-core Turbo), single core up to 4.2GHz - This is also the first time that the Y series acceleration frequency exceeds 4GHz.
Next is Core i5-8200Y , the base frequency is 1.3GHz, dual core core frequency is 3.2GHz, and the single core core frequency is 3.9GHz.
Finally Core m3-8100Y (Yes, i/m sequence is mixed), the base frequency is still 1.1GHz, dual core core frequency 2.7GHz, single core core frequency 3.4GHz.
But at the same time as the frequency increases, Thermal design power consumption has also increased slightly from 4.5W to 5W However, the adjustable range is temporarily unknown, currently at the lowest 3.5W, the highest 7W.
Amber Lake-Y release time is unknown, according to previous Intel's statement is to play some time this year.
