Intel has added more processors to its 10th-generation offering, with four U-series and four Y-series processors codenamed ‘Comet Lake’ aimed at notebooks and portable devices, boasting models with six cores and very low thermal design points that could be used in a future MacBook Air update.
The 10th generation Intel Core processors announced so far have included a number of 10-nanometer “Ice Lake” processors geared towards high performance on a notebook, including some suitable for MacBook Pro usage. In a second wave of mobile-oriented chips, eight more processors have been revealed with more modest specifications.
While not necessarily aimed at the MacBook Pro, the new batch includes some candidates for the MacBook Air, which currently uses a Y-series processor with an extremely low thermal design point and power consumption. The processors are also produced under the more established 14-nanometer process rather than 10-nanometer.
