Intel 15W low-power whisky lake processor lineup exposure | 4 core straight up 4.6GHz

Although it is impossible to mass-produce the 10nm process in a year and a half, Intel has achieved the ultimate in mining 14nm processors. It can also improve processor performance without upgrading the architecture and process technology. 15W TDP power consumption in low-power processors The current main force is the Kaby Lake Refresh series, which is the Core i7-8550U, etc., with a maximum acceleration frequency of 4GHz, while the next-generation Whiskey Lake Whiskey Lake processor has a large specification with a maximum acceleration frequency of 4.6GHz.

The Whiskey Lake processor for the 15W TDP has been exposed for a long time. Intel first mentioned the low-power U-series processor upgraded in the Whisky Lake structure in April this year. In June, the Taipei Computer Show released some new information, which will use 14nm++. Craft, still belongs to the eight generations of Core series, but the performance will have a double-digit improvement.

The Whiskey Lake processor has had multiple exposures before, and it is not far from the official release. The news from Ananadtech website said that HP has accidentally exposed the detailed names of the three whisky lake processors on the promotion page of the Pavilion x360 notebook. Specifications, and then Asus, Synnex and other companies have confirmed the specifications of the Whiskey Lake processor from different angles, the AT website is summarized as follows:

The specifications for the three Whiskey Lake processors are as follows:

· Core i7-8565U is a 4-core 8-thread, base frequency 1.8GHz, acceleration frequency 4.6GHz, 8MB L3 cache, TDP 15W.

· Core i5-8265U is 4 cores and 8 threads, basic frequency 1.6GHz, acceleration frequency 4.1GHz, 6MB L3 cache, TDP 15W.

· Core i3-8145U is a 2-core 4 thread, base frequency 2.1GHz, acceleration frequency 3.9GHz, 4MB L3 cache, TDP 15W.

Compared with the corresponding Kaby Lake Refresh processor, the basic frequency of the Whiskey Lake processor has not changed much, the number of cores and the number of threads have not increased, but the acceleration frequency has increased greatly, such as the Core i7-8550U processor acceleration frequency of 4.0GHz, Core The i7-8565U accelerates to 4.6GHz and increases 600Hz. The other two processors also have 500, 700MHz.

Combined with the performance of the previously exposed Core i7-8565U processor, Intel said that the performance double-digit performance is really possible. The acceleration frequency increase of 500-700MHz means that the frequency increase is 10-15%, while the previous Core i7- The 8565U Geekbench 4 test also confirmed that CPU performance increased by about 15%.
