One of the first topics talked about at the annual Intel Developer Forum now was Haswell, the codename for Intel’s following-era architecture that will substitute the Sandy Bridge platform. Intel main administrator Paul Otellini talked about Haswell, Ultrabooks and next experimental structure at the event.


Haswell will be construct on a 22nm process utilizing IIID tri-gate transistors but it is the power consumption, or lack of, that is gathering the most media care. We familiar that Haswell will continue the unfreed Ivy Bridge and is looked sometime in 2013.

Now we discovered that the ultra-competent chip will deficiency platform power through a element of 20 without compromising computing function. This will solution in what Intel depicts as all-day utilization and ten days of network-linked standby battery capacity in Ultrabooks.


To drive home the truth that they are difficult about power consumption, Intel presented a system functioning a chip that was just being provided through a individual UV light pointed at a solar cell the size of a postage stamp. Note that just the processor was provided through the solar cell; the rest of the system was provided utilizing a traditional power supply.


The system was functioning Windows VII and a little animated GIF of a cat assuming earphones. Intel concerned to this architecture as “Near Threshold Voltage Core” and claims the chip pushes the limits of thermal transistor tech to tune power utilize to very low levels.


Haswell will finally search its path into Ultrabooks but for the time being, Sandy Bridge central processing units are being positioned in first-era examples. Ivy Bridge will eventually substitute these central processing units in 2012, may be at CES. Consorting to Anandtech, Ivy Bridge GPU function is looked to be up to 60% quickest than Sandy Bridge and characteristic 2x excellent QuickSync function.
