Intel Core M processor will makes laptops more like tablets
Intel announced its next-generation processor family, Core M, during a speech at IFA last Friday in Berlin. Core M is a low-powered chip, requiring only 4.5 watts. As such, the majority of devices boasting the processor will opt for a fan-less, razor-thin design and benefit from up to two hours of extra battery life.

Reportedly, Core M processors will be three times as the fast as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 – a popular processor used in high-end smartphones and tablets such as Samsung's Galaxy Note 4. Intel claim a Core M processor can deliver twice the performance and seven times better graphics compared to a four year-old PC.
Seven Core-M devices have currently been announced, including laptops, tablets and two-in-ones from Asus, Acer, Dell, HP and Lenovo. Toshiba will also be making Core M devices. An additional 13 other Core M products are in the pipeline. The first of these will see a release in the fourth quarter of this year.
