This larger launch is the full Skylake lineup consisting of Intel’s “best processors ever”. At an electronics show in Berlin, the company unveiled its sixth generation Intel Core processor family.

The best way to figure out which of Intel’s six new processors to get is to consider what you plan using your new PC for.

“There are now a billion plus PCs in the world that are three years or older and many of you would recognise that these PCs are out of date, they’re slow to wake up and don’t have the battery life they used to have”.

Intel says the new processors will offer 10 percent better performance, 30 percent better graphics performance and an extra hour of battery life compared to the previous generation Broadwell chips.

Because of Skylake’s features, companies will be able to release notebook PCs that are half as thick and half as heavy as those from five years ago, according to Intel, while at the same time enabling double the performance and triple the battery life of computers from 2010.

Intel had Windows 10 in mind when developing its 6th generation Intel Core chips.

Systems carrying the U, H and S variants of the Skylake processors will begin appearing in the 4th quarter of this year, we should begin seeing announcements of products using the Y Series Intel processors in the near future. And they can enable incredible new PC experiences like logging into your computer with your face and having a personal assistant respond to your voice.

The sixth generation Intel Core processors are built on Skylake microarchitecture and have sleek designs that are thinner than ever. As we have seen with the Core i series processors, the higher the number following the alphabet, the more powerful the processor – although the TDP maxes out at under 8W to ensure a fanless design. The chips are smaller in size but provide more power and speed.

Tristan Gerra, a chip industry analyst with Robert W. Baird, doubts Skylake’s ability to turn the PC sales around, but believes it is possible the new technology could level off the 9 to 10% decline expected in the PC sales this year. And Intel’s also making a push toward “wire-free” computing, with many Skylake systems supporting wireless charging.

In the coming months, Intel plans to deliver more than 48 processors in the 6th Gen Intel Core processor family, featuring Intel® Iris™ and Iris Pro graphics, as well as Intel Xeon E3-1500M processor family for mobile workstations and 6th Gen Intel® vPro™ processors for business and enterprises.
