Today at CES 2019 in Las Vegas, Intel unvei­led the next wave of PC inno­va­ti­on that will advan­ce the PC expe­ri­ence to help power every person’s grea­test con­tri­bu­ti­on, including:

• Details on our high­ly inte­gra­ted plat­form that will fea­ture our upco­ming first volu­me 10nm PC pro­ces­sor, code-named “Ice Lake”
• Pre­view of a hybrid 10nm CPU archi­tec­tu­re with Fove­r­os 3D pack­a­ging, code-named “Lake­field”
• Pro­ject Athe­na, an inno­va­ti­on pro­gram to deli­ver a new class of advan­ced laptops
• Expan­si­on of the 9th Gen Intel® Core™ desk­top pro­ces­sor family

New 10nm Plat­forms for Mobi­le PCs

In the coming months, Intel will launch its new mobi­le PC plat­form with Intel’s upco­ming first volu­me 10nm pro­ces­sor, code-named “Ice Lake.”

Built on Intel’s new Sun­ny Cove CPU micro­ar­chi­tec­tu­re detail­ed last month at Archi­tec­tu­re Day, Ice Lake is expec­ted to deli­ver a new level of tech­no­lo­gy inte­gra­ti­on on a cli­ent platform.

Ice Lake is the first plat­form to fea­ture the all-new Gen11 inte­gra­ted gra­phics archi­tec­tu­re, sup­port Intel Adap­ti­ve Sync tech­no­lo­gy, enab­ling smooth frame rates and capa­ble of more than 1 TFLOP of per­for­mance for richer gam­ing and crea­ti­on experience.

The new mobi­le PC plat­form is also the first to inte­gra­te Thun­der­bolt™ 3 and the new high-speed Wi-Fi 6 wire­less stan­dard as a built-in tech­no­lo­gy, as well as fea­ture Intel® DL Boost ins­truc­tion sets to acce­le­ra­te arti­fi­ci­al intel­li­gence (AI) workloads. Ice Lake brings this all tog­e­ther with incre­di­ble bat­tery life to enable super-thin, ultra-mobi­le designs with world-class per­for­mance and respon­si­ve­ness, enab­ling peo­p­le to enjoy an ama­zing com­pu­ting expe­ri­ence. As shown by Dell*, look for new devices from Intel OEM part­ners on shel­ves by holi­day 2019.

Intel also pro­vi­ded a sneak peek of a new cli­ent plat­form, code-named “Lake­field,” that fea­tures a hybrid CPU archi­tec­tu­re with Intel’s new inno­va­ti­ve Fove­r­os 3D pack­a­ging tech­no­lo­gy. Lake­field has five cores, com­bi­ning a 10nm high-per­for­mance Sun­ny Cove core with four Intel Atom® pro­ces­sor-based cores into a tiny packa­ge that deli­vers low-power effi­ci­en­cy with gra­phics and other IPs, I/O and memo­ry. The result is a smal­ler board that pro­vi­des OEMs more fle­xi­bi­li­ty for thin and light form fac­tor design and is packed with all the tech­no­lo­gy peo­p­le have come to expect from Intel inclu­ding long bat­tery life, per­for­mance and con­nec­ti­vi­ty. Lake­field is expec­ted to be in pro­duc­tion this year.

Intel is uni­que­ly posi­tio­ned to deli­ver this type of inno­va­ti­on becau­se the broad set of tech­no­lo­gies – the pack­a­ging, the archi­tec­tu­re, the per­for­mance and con­nec­ti­vi­ty – are all under one roof to help bring incre­di­ble new designs and expe­ri­en­ces to life.

Pro­ject Athe­na Advan­ces Lap­top Innovation

Intel also announ­ced Pro­ject Athe­na, an inno­va­ti­on pro­gram that defi­nes and aims to help bring to mar­ket a new class of advan­ced lap­tops. Com­bi­ning world-class per­for­mance, bat­tery life and con­nec­ti­vi­ty in sleek, beau­tiful designs, the first Pro­ject Athe­na lap­tops are expec­ted to be available in the second half of this year across both Win­dows* and Chro­me* ope­ra­ting systems.

Desi­gned to enable new expe­ri­en­ces and capi­ta­li­ze on next-gene­ra­ti­on tech­no­lo­gies, inclu­ding 5G and arti­fi­ci­al intel­li­gence, Pro­ject Athe­na crea­tes a path for­ward to acce­le­ra­te lap­top inno­va­ti­on through:

• An annu­al spec out­lining plat­form requirements
• New user expe­ri­ence and bench­mar­king tar­gets defi­ned by real-world usa­ge models
• Exten­si­ve co-engi­nee­ring sup­port and inno­va­ti­on pathfinding
• Eco­sys­tem col­la­bo­ra­ti­on to acce­le­ra­te key lap­top com­po­nent deve­lo­p­ment and availability
• Veri­fi­ca­ti­on of Pro­ject Athe­na devices through a com­pre­hen­si­ve cer­ti­fi­ca­ti­on process

Based on exten­si­ve rese­arch to under­stand how peo­p­le use their devices and the chal­lenges they face, the annu­al spec com­bi­nes key are­as of inno­va­ti­on to deli­ver lap­tops that are pur­po­se-built to help peo­p­le focus, adapt to life’s roles and always be rea­dy. Intel’s Pro­ject Athe­na inno­va­ti­on part­ners include Acer*, Asus*, Dell, Goog­le*, HP*, Inno­lux*, Leno­vo*, Micro­soft*, Sam­sung* and Sharp*, among others.

From deli­ve­ring the first con­nec­ted PC with inte­gra­ted Wi-Fi in the Intel® Cen­tri­no® plat­form to dri­ving main­stream adop­ti­on of super thin and light designs, touch­screens and 2 in 1 form fac­tors with Ultra­book™, Intel is uni­que­ly posi­tio­ned to be the cata­lyst in deli­ve­ring the next-gen PC experience.

Expan­ding 9th Gen Intel Core Pro­ces­sor Family

In Octo­ber, Intel laun­ched the first set of the 9th Gen Intel® Core™ desk­top pro­ces­sors, inclu­ding the Intel Core i9-9900K pro­ces­sor, the world’s best gam­ing pro­ces­sor¹. Today, Intel intro­du­ced new addi­ti­ons to the 9th Gen Intel Core desk­top pro­ces­sor fami­ly that expand the opti­ons to meet a broad ran­ge of con­su­mer needs from casu­al users to pro­fes­sio­nals to gamers and serious con­tent crea­tors. The first of the new 9th Gen Intel Core desk­top pro­ces­sors is expec­ted to be available start­ing this month with more rol­ling out through the second quar­ter of this year.
