Indeed, beyond the amazing technology advancements, one of the great things about the 8^th Gen Intel Core processor lineup is the scalability. The wide range of options opens the door for endless opportunities for our partners and the entire ecosystem. That means customers will be able to choose from hundreds of designs, including all shapes and sizes. The common denominator across them all? Outstanding performance. Performance that helps people simplify everything they are doing today, while opening the door to the experiences of tomorrow.

We’ll have more to share on our new 8^th Gen family live today at 8 a.m. PDT on Facebook*, including the first look at several new 8^th Gen-powered devices and a behind-the-scenes peek at a brand-new VR experience we are creating to help people across the globe enjoy today’s eclipse. It’s amazing what happens when everything aligns, isn’t it?

Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark* and MobileMark*, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.
