Chipmaker Intel is has been telling hacks and hackettes that it is going to be lifting the kimono on a “new era” of hardware next month.
It’s unclear what Intel could be announcing at IFA 2014 on September 5, 2014, in Berlin, Germany. The smart money is on the company applying liberal coats of candle grease to wax lyrical about its next gen CPUs.
For those who came in late, Intel is widely expected to release new 5th-generation processors based on the company’s Broadwell architecture towards the end of this year.
After all Intel has already spilled the beans on its Core M, a super-thin processor that could pave the way for ultra-thin laptops and hybrids. They have also talked about Llama Mountain, a concept device powered by Core M that’s only 7.2mm thick and wears a 12.5-inch display.
Intel’s IFA 2014 presentation could also contain more information about these two devices as well, but that would be old news.
Intel needs to grab a few headlines its Devil’s Canyon CPU was found to offer a modest performance boost over older Intel chips and was greeted by a loud sounding yawn from the press.
