Intel kicks off Haswell shipments with quad-core Core processors – Computerworld

After months of teasers, Intel kicked off shipments of fourth-generation Core processors code-named Haswell, with the first batch being quad-core chips for laptops and desktops.

The Haswell chips, which also include dual-core chips to be announced at a later date, will be in PCs, laptops and tablets that are thinner, less expensive and have longer battery life. Intel claims Haswell will improve battery life in laptops by 50 percent, and up to triple the graphics performance compared to Core processors code-named Ivy Bridge, which shipped last year.
