Intel aims to enable the production of ultra-thin, fanless mobile devices with the launch of its new Core M processor.

Revealed at the IFA 2014 in Berlin, the processor will power new 2-in-1 devices from a variety of manufacturers including Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Toshiba.

“We’ve been on a multi-year mission to address end-user requirements and transform mobile computing. The introduction of Core M marks a significant milestone in that journey,” said Kirk Skaugen, senior vice president and general manager of personal computing at Intel Corporation.

“Core M is the first of a new product family designed to deliver the promise of one of the world’s thinnest laptops and highest performance tablets in a single 2 in 1 device.”

He said the Intel Core M enables up to 50% faster compute performance and 40% faster graphics performance versus the comparable, previous 4th generation Core processor.

The processor can handle more than eight hours of video play; which is up to 20% (1.7 hours) longer battery life versus the previous generation Intel Core processor and double the battery life of the average four-year-old PC.

There are already more than twenty Core M based OEM products in the development pipeline. The first systems based on the processor will be on shelves for the holiday selling season.

Intel boasts that the processor is a “conflict-free” product, which means it does not contain conflict minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold) that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries.
