Intel has announced new extensions to its mobile and desktop processor lineup in the all-new Pentium Silver and Celeron processor family. The new Pentium Silver and Celeron processors are based on the Gemini Lake architecture and have been designed to provide a great balance of performance and connectivity for everyday tasks such as browsing the web, working on office documents and spreadsheets, media consumption, and photo editing. In terms of productivity performance, Intel claims the Pentium Silver is up to 58 percent faster compared to a similar 4-year old PC.
The new Pentium Silver line of processors are the cost-optimized option in Intel’s Pentium processor family, while the Pentium Gold line is targeted at slightly more demanding consumers. Both the new Intel Pentium Silver and Celeron processor line will ship with Gigabit Wi-Fi capability for ultra-fast connectivity, even faster than a wired Gigabit Ethernet connection. They also come with a new technology called Local Adaptive Contrast Enhancement (LACE), claimed to boost visibility outdoors or under bright lights.
Intel expects the first laptops, 2 in 1s, all-in-one PCs, mini PCs and desktops powered by its new Pentium Silver and Celeron processors to launch in Q1 2018.
