The 4th generation processors

The 4th generation processors will also serve as the foundation for 2-in-1 computing. A 2-in-1 device works
as a PC as well as a tablet.
Today we deliver on the vision set forth 2 years ago to reinvent personal computing with the introduction of
our 4th generation Intel Core processors," said Leighton Phillips, Director, Product Management & Pricing,
Intel Asia-Pacific.
DigiTimes is sharing Intel's processor plans for the coming quarter. Several entry-level Ivy Bridge based
processors will hit the market in Q1 2013, this includes the 22nm Pentium G2130, G2020 and G2020T and
Celeron G1620, G1610 and G1610T processors. Older 32nm-based Pentium G870, G645 and G645T as well as
Celeron G555, G550 and G550T chips will reach the end of their lifecycle by the end of 2012, and the Core i7
-2700K, Core i5-3450, Core i5-2310, Core i3-2105 and Pentium G440 will also be phased out by the end of
December.

To achieve this breakthrough, Intel worked on the power reduction at the CPU level to as low as 6 watts and
also worked across the system for power optimisation, said Debjani Ghosh, Intel South Asia Managing
Director (Sales and Marketing Group).
The 4th generation processor enables every day computing to be about two times faster, helps systems wake
up around eight times faster and allows users to edit and share HD video about 20 times faster, than a similar
4-year-old computer.
