Intel 10th generation core ‘Ice Lake’ 10nm CPUs unveiled at Computex 2019

Intel newest CPUs have been unveiled at the ongoing Computex 2019.

Chipmaker Intel held its annual keynote at the Computex 2019 tradeshow. At the keynote, GM and Senior Vice President, Client Computing Group, Gregory Bryant unveiled Intel’s much-awaited 10nm ‘Ice Lake’ CPU lineup, which will be the first in the company’s 10th generation Core family and will be aimed at thin and light laptops. Besides getting some general performance improvements, Intel has touted the graphics capabilities of the Iris Plus integrated GPU. A new AI functionality called Intel Learning Boost is also being called one among the key highlights of the new CPUs.

According to Bryant, the new Ice Lake CPUs have now started shipping to laptop OEMS and a number of devices that will be powered by them are expected to be available for sale in 2019 US holiday shopping season.

It is worth mentioning that the new Ice Lake CPUs are based on the company’s Sunny Cove core architecture and are built with 10nm fabrication process. The company has manufactured and shipped 10nm CPUs in volume and is also known to have missed the 2016 target of ‘Cannonlake’ processors that were eventually cancelled. Cut recently, Intel promised that it would be shipping its Ice Lake CPUs in volume by June.
