Press release, August 12; Joseph Tsai, DIGITIMES Asia

Intel has disclosed details of its newest microarchitecture that is optimized with Intel's 14nm manufacturing process. Together these technologies will provide high-performance and low-power capabilities to serve a broad array of computing needs and products from the infrastructure of cloud computing and the Internet of things to personal and mobile computing, according to the company.

Intel disclosed details of the microarchitecture of the Intel Core M processor, the first product to be manufactured using 14nm.

Intel said its architects and chip designers have achieved greater than two times reduction in the thermal design point when compared to a previous generation of processor while providing similar performance and improved battery life.

Intel's 14nm technology will be used to manufacture a wide range of high-performance to low-power products including servers, personal computing devices and Internet of Things.

The first systems based on the Intel Core M processor will be on shelves for the 2014 holiday selling season followed by broader OEM availability in the first half of 2015.
