Intel leads the evolution of ultrabooks

[OyaYansa]

On August 21, Intel announced its new generation of processors. Many were caught by surprise by the arrival of the Intel Core family of eighth generation because the last announced processors, i9, had not yet been fully deployed.

However, it was logical. The Intel Core X responds to the evolution of the seventh generation, a generation that has been with us for a year and that touched to renew, especially in the field of ultrabook.

The jump of the seventh generation processors (architecture Kaby Lake) with respect to the sixth generation (Skylake architecture) was of 12%. So, based on the cold numbers, the arrival of the eighth generation of Intel is more than justified.

The manufacturer claims that these eighth generation chips (Coffee Lake) are 40% more powerful than the seventh generation, which is a much bigger jump than the Kaby Lake seen with the Skylake. In addition, Intel also promises that these new processors are twice as fast as those of 5 years ago.

At the moment, the available chips are the two i7 (i7-8650U and i7-8550U) and two i5 (i5-8350U and i5-8250U) chips that boast a revamped Kaby Lake architecture and that we have begun to see in new devices such as Asus ZenBook Flip S, the latest Acer laptops or the Lenovo 920 Yoga, with which we already had a first contact. Now, why do they first come to this type of devices?
