The processor was purpose-built for performance in the thinnest, fanless ultra-mobile devices. The Intel Core M processor can power razor-thin devices with Intel Core level performance and deliver up to double the battery life when compared to a four-year old system*.
“We’ve been on a multi-year mission to address end-user requirements and transform mobile computing. The introduction of Core M marks a significant milestone in that journey,” said Kirk Skaugen, Senior VP and GM of personal computing at Intel Corporation. “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.”
The Intel Core M enables up to 50% faster compute performance and 40% faster graphics performance versus the comparable, previous 4th generation Core processor**. It delivers up to two times the compute performance and up to seven times better graphics compared to a four year old PC, for example*. The Intel Core M processor can handle more than eight hours of video play; which translates to a maximum of 20% (1.7 hours) longer battery life versus the previous generation Intel Core processor***, and double the battery life of the average four-year-old PC*.
At the same time, the Intel Core M processor package is 50% smaller and, at 4.5 watts, has 60% lower thermal power than the previous generation****. This lets OEMs design sleek, fanless systems of under 9mm in thickness, thinner than an AAA battery and today’s sleekest laptops. There are already more than twenty 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 (Editor's note: roughly November to December).
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 2-in-1 series of notebooks with the Aspire Switch 12, featuring a 12.5” FHD display with kickstand and magnet keyboard to move smoothly across five modes.
· ASUS introduced the ASUS Zenbook UX305, a light and thin Ultrabook with a 13” QHD display and the ASUS Transformer Book T300FA 2 in 1. The Transformer Book T300FA is a high-performance 2 in 1. 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% lighter and 15% thinner than its predecessor.

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 2015.
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 fanless Llama Mountain reference device, which measures 7.2mm thin and weighs 670g, at Computex in Taiwan earlier this year.
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 or adjoining countries.
The Intel Core M processor is available in several versions: the up to 2.0GHz Intel Core M-5Y10/5Y10a processors and the up to 2.6GHz Intel Core M-5Y70 processor. The Core M-5Y70 is the highest performing 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*****.
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.
