Tencent Digital (Zhou Shuo) At the IDF conference in August this year, the Intel closed-door conference roughly described some features of the 7th generation Core Duo. This content was formally lifted on August 30th, Beijing time. Although we have not yet obtained a 7-generation Core Duo product, according to Intel officials, from September until the end of the year, there will be more than 100 models equipped with 7-generation Core Duo. New products launch the market. As a digital old gun, although Intel is always squeezing toothpaste, but the general characteristics or you have to understand.
First of all, let's take a look at the modern PC forms defined by Intel, including 2-in-1 notebooks, ultra-thin notebooks, professional gamers' computers, mini PCs, and Chromebooks based on cloud services. The current market is such a state, Intel does not say so, and there is no forward-looking and constructive, let's see.
Intel believes that today's PC world is undergoing a revolution in experience transformation, represented by four dimensions: 4K ultra-clear, panoramic video, VR virtual reality/MR mixed reality, and professional e-sports. Basically it also belongs to the conclusion of the post-major-gun style, which is the foreplay of dry goods.
7th generation Core makes lighter and lighter products thinner
Finally there was a dry product. Of course, we also broke the news before. The main point is to sum up the general state of the 7th generation Core Duo. The low-power mobile version is still from 4.5W-15W, but 7-generation Core will allow OEMs to create slimmer ultra-lightweight and 2-in-1 notebooks. Once again, this year Q4, which is September to December, will see over 100 models of notebooks equipped with 7-generation Core. In January of next year, there will be more enterprise-class, workstation-class products available, and at the same time with the Jurassic nuclear pressure standard mobile processor and desktop-class processors will come one after another. Desktop users are expected to wait about half a year.
Same as 14nm but process upgrade
As we all know, the 7th generation Core is the same 14nm process as Skylake. But in fact, Intel will tell you that the 7th generation Core Duo actually upgraded the technology level at 14nm, reformed the transistor structure, and further improved the leakage and other situations. So Intel will say that 7-generation Core Duo has improved its performance by 12% compared to the previous generation. Of course, Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA are always PPT heroes. How about the actual performance? We will verify the actual product above.
This page compares soy sauce, which means that you have 7 generations of Core Duo, and you have these, including: excellent performance, ubiquitous 4K super clear display, all aspects of experience development, more innovative product design.
7th generation Core performance is 10 times that of 1 generation
In order to draw a better-looking curve, in recent years Intel PPT is particularly keen to compare with 5 years ago, compared with the 1st generation. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, in this picture you can clearly feel the evolution of Core processors in these generations.
From the first generation of 18W TDP to today's 4.5W TDP, power consumption is significantly reduced, but at the same time the performance far exceeds it. The comparison between the 7th generation Core and the 1st generation is already a 10x difference.
Compared to the old computer five years ago, 7-generation Core Duo has more than 70% mobile productivity. Among them, the three dimensions of work, video creation and games are the most obvious. (The following rows of small words: The metrics are SYSMark and MobileMark)
Compared to a computer five years ago, the real-life scene is that video clips can be performed in almost real-time, a one-hour 4K video can be rendered in 12 minutes, and touch is more convenient to use.
To tell you the truth, now that you have a new processor, with SSD, it's really fast with DDR4. The efficiency is really much higher than that of the previous computer!
12% increase in performance over the previous generation
This page of information is more critical. As mentioned earlier, Intel said that the performance of the new 7-generation Core Duo is 12% higher than that of the previous generation. This source is from this page. We saw that Intel used the i7-6500U vs. the new i7-7500U. In the case of Turbo, productivity increased by 12% over the previous generation. Of course, we see that this Turbo frequency itself has a difference of 3.1GHz and 3.5GHz. At the same time this test is based on the SYSMark 2014 to test, this accuracy I have reservations, so with the product we may wish to run in the CINEBENCH R15.
Another test is based on the Web, and ultimately got a performance improvement of 19%. This value I personally feel is basically not referenced to the average user, and I can't feel it in my daily life. Perhaps users who do Html 5 page development on the Web will be helpful.
Improved graphics performance
The new nuclear display is based on the 9th generation of graphics computing technology, which significantly improves the ability of video encoding and decoding. The improved process improves part performance while providing better leakage protection and higher power efficiency. And the experience on video based on HEVC 10-bit and VP9 encoding formats is even better. This is mainly reflected in the endurance ability of playing 4K video and online video.
At the same time comparing 6 generations of products, the new 7 generations of Core Duo have obviously improved a lot in the endurance performance. In the aspect of playing 4K videos, the endurance can reach 9.5 hours most often. This is a 4K ability to play all day, and 4K is played online. Can reach more than 7 hours, the current generation 6 processors can only adhere to about 4 hours, which is consistent with the length of online video we currently test 6 generations of Core Duo models, Intel is still more honest.
As for how much the game performance will change, I still can't say it. But at that time, the live demonstration of "watch pioneer", in the high-definition can basically guarantee the smooth running of 30 frames.
Based on the 7th generation Core can be thinner
It can be said that one of the most significant changes brought by the 7th generation Core is to be able to further reduce the thickness of the current thin and light products. The thinnest lighter on the market today is HP's latest Spectre, which is 10.4mm thick and almost 1cm thick. But after using 7 generations of Core Duo, this is not a thing!
Intel's information is a flip-type 2 in 1 can be done about 10mm, but this thin and light can be thinner than 10mm, plug-in type 2 in 1 can do the body below 7mm. Of course, here I need to explain, so that the extreme thickness of the processor is certainly not U series low-voltage products, it should be suffix Y products.
Speaking of this, I inserted the phrase, that is to the 7th generation Core Duo, after the unprecedented Core-M sub-brand will be split, some of the better performance products will become the suffix Y series products (such as i7-7Y75, i5 -7Y54-), while low-end products such as m3-7Y30 continue to maintain the Core-M independent brand.
In the future, there will be more than 120 products with lightning 3 interfaces, there will be more than 100 products with Windows Hello function, there will be more than 50 products with 4K screen. This is because the 7th generation Core has given better support for these features. Well, I'm just pretending to be official....
This picture more comprehensively depicts all the experience changes brought by the 7th generation Core, which is all the features we introduced earlier.
to sum up:
At this point, our interpretation has come to an end. Overall, the 7th generation of Core Duo has done a lot of optimization functions, and the improvement of the nuclear display is also quite obvious. The increase in the playing time of the online broadcast video has obviously left me with a relatively deep impression. As for the performance improvement, we do not see much from the mobile version at present. Intel also started the toothpaste model. So, I plan not to comment more before we get the actual product to test, and we still practice the knowledge after we get the product.
