New Intel Core M Processor Enables Razor-thin, Fanless Designs with the
Optimal Blend of Beauty, Performance and Battery Life; Available Holiday 2014
NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
* Acer*, ASUS*, Dell*, HP*, Lenovo* and Toshiba* to introduce new Intel®
Core™ M processor-based 2 in 1s. Some systems available starting in
October.
* Intel Core M processor delivers amazing performance and battery life for
the thinnest, fanless 2 in 1 devices.

BERLIN -- September 5, 2014
IFA – At IFA, a global trade show for consumer electronics and home
appliances, Intel launched the new Intel® Core™ M processor, which will power
new 2 in 1 devices from a variety of manufacturers including: Acer*, ASUS*,
Dell*, HP*, Lenovo* and Toshiba*. Delivering the optimal blend of mobility and
performance, Intel’s new processor was purpose-built for amazing performance
in the thinnest, fanless ultra-mobile devices. The Intel Core M processor can
power razor-thin devices with Intel Core processor-level performance and
deliver up to double the battery life when compared to a 4-year-old system.^2

“We’ve been on a multi-year mission to address end-user requirements and
transform mobile computing,” said Kirk Skaugen, senior vice president and
general manager of personal computing at Intel Corporation. “The introduction
of Core M marks a significant milestone in that journey. Core M is the first
of a new product family designed to deliver the promise of one of the world’s
thinnest laptops and highest performance tablets in a single 2 in 1 device.”
Faster Performance, Even More Battery Life
The Intel Core M processor enables up to 50 percent faster compute performance
and 40 percent faster graphics performance versus the comparable, previous 4th
generation Intel Core processor.^3 Consumers with older PCs will notice a more
significant performance improvement. The Intel Core M processor delivers up to
two times the compute performance and up to seven times better graphics
compared to a 4- year-old PC, for example.^2
In 2013, Intel delivered the biggest generation-over-generation battery life
improvement in the company’s history. The Intel Core M processor and platform
power reductions raise the bar on battery life even higher. The Intel Core M
processor can handle more than 8 hours of video play, which is up to 20
percent (1.7 hours) longer battery life versus the previous-generation Intel
Core processor^4 and double the battery life of the average 4-year-old PC.^1
Thin, Fanless 2 in 1s Available for Holiday 2014...and Beyond
The Intel Core M processor package is 50 percent smaller and, at 4.5 watts,
has 60 percent lower thermal power than the previous generation.^5 This lets
OEMs design sleek, fanless systems less than 9 mm thin – thinner than an AAA
battery and today’s sleekest laptops. There are already more than 20 Intel
Core M processor-based OEM products in the development pipeline. The first
systems based on the Intel Core M processor will be on shelves for the holiday
selling season.
At IFA, manufacturers including Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo unveiled new,
coming-soon Intel Core M processor-based devices across a range of sizes,
styles and price points.
* In Q4, Acer will expand its popular 2-in-1 series of notebooks with the
Aspire Switch 12*, featuring a 12.5-inch FHD display with unique kickstand
and magnet keyboard to move smoothly between five modes.
* ASUS introduced the ASUS Zenbook UX305*, an incredibly light and thin
Ultrabook™ with a 13-inch QHD display and the ASUS Transformer Book
T300FA* 2 in 1, which was unveiled during the Intel keynote. The
Transformer Book T300FA is a high-performance 2 in 1 and is expected to be
available in Europe this fall for an estimated €599. Looking ahead, ASUS
plans to go even thinner with the ASUS Transformer T300 Chi*.
* Dell has announced its first commercial 2 in 1, the Latitude 13 7000
Series*, which combines a lightweight business Ultrabook and a detachable
tablet in one powerful, no-compromise device.
* HP further extends its award-winning ENVY portfolio with the addition of
two new HP ENVY x2* detachable PCs, available in 13.3-inch and 15.6-inch
form factors.
* The new Lenovo ThinkPad Helix*, available in October, is 12 percent
lighter and measures 15 percent thinner than its predecessor while packing
even more power thanks to the Intel Core M processor.
Intel also previewed a forthcoming Intel Core M processor-based design from
Toshiba, and said broader availability of Intel Core M processor-based devices
is expected in the first half of next year.
To further system choice and availability, Intel said it is working with ODMs
including Wistron* and others. Wistron plans an Intel Core M processor-based
design inspired by the Intel “Llama Mountain” reference device. Intel first
unveiled the stunning, fanless Llama Mountain reference device, which measures
7.2 mm thin and weighs a mere 670 grams, at Computex in Taiwan earlier this
year.
A “Conflict-Free” Processor; Additional Features
Intel Core M is a “conflict-free” product, which means this product does not
contain conflict minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold) that directly
or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of
the Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries.
The Intel Core M processor is available in several versions: the up to 2.0 GHz
Intel Core M-5Y10/5Y10a processors and the up to 2.6 GHz Intel Core M-5Y70
processor. The Core M-5Y70 is the highest performing Intel Core M processor
and is also available with Intel® vPro™ technology for business 2 in 1s with
built-in security features to help protect data, user identities and network
access.^6
Additional Intel Core M platform features include support for high-quality
audio, Intel® Wireless Display 5.0, Intel’s second-generation 802.11ac
products and will evolve to support wireless docking with WiGig from Intel.
