These processors rely on a highly integrated System-on-Chip (SoC) architecture with 10nm die size that opens the door for customers to experience new capabilities and innovation on mobile PCs. They feature up to four cores and eight threads with maximum turbo frequencies up to 4.1 GHz and up to 1.1 GHz graphics frequency.1
There are six 10th Gen Intel® Core™ U-series processors and five Intel® Core™ Y-series processors. The Y-series aims for low-power consumption, while the U-series offers higher performance.1
A rising trend for home and business apps is the inclusion of AI or machine learning capabilities that adapt to customer behavior or improve application performance for tasks such as speech processing, content filters, or personal assistant apps.
These 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors feature dedicated built-in features to deliver the intelligent performance needed for customers who want to use modern AI-infused applications.1
Eight of the 11 SKUs include Intel® Iris® Plus graphics. These power true-to-life 1080p games such as Dirt Rally 2.0*, Battlefield V* and Fortnite* with double the FPS.1,2
Naturally, this big boost in graphics performance also means customers experience smoother 4K video playback, while content-creation enthusiasts enjoy accelerated video and photo editing.1
Your sales associates should ensure gamers, content creators, and those who simply enjoy streaming entertainment from anywhere are aware of the viewing and performance differences that can be experienced with a device powered by one of these new processors.1
In today's home and small business environments with multiple wireless network types and a multitude of devices vying for a connection, device Wi-Fi speeds can suffer. Fortunately, these 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors include on-chip Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) to mitigate that.
All 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors come with Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) to deliver ultra-fast, ultra-responsive connections for browsing, streaming, gaming, and working, even on networks with numerous connected devices.3
Sales associates should also point out that laptops and 2 in 1s with 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors have up to four Thunderbolt™ 3 USB-C compatible ports that allow them to connect displays, docks, and peripherals with only a single cable.
Thunderbolt™ 3 is the fastest USB-C available and provides lightning-fast data transfer speeds.4
Rather than extending the SKU name of the members of this latest family of Intel® Core™ processors with an extra digit, the new SKU naming format compresses the processor identifier while adding a graphics level code.
It’s important your associates have a clear understanding of the new SKU naming structure changes in order to recommend the correct device to customers.
As you can see, this release of 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors is a big step up in multiple areas important to your customers whether they desire the highest performance obtainable or performance with an affordable price.1 There are a lot of details about this generation of processors that your sales associates must internalize to effectively communicate the benefits of new laptops and 2 in 1s that will soon begin arriving in your stores.
The holiday season is just around the corner. Encourage your sales team to take full advantage of the Intel® Retail Edge Program for the most up-to-date information on Intel® products including the 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors and the OEM devices they will power.
