Improvements & Changes

Formerly known as the Whiskey Lake Series(the U-series) & the Amber Lake Series(the Y-series) will be improved with respect to modern capabilities. You just cannot expect a bump in performance, instead, you expect that laptops featuring these processors will have for 4K display support faster RAM.

Also, there are better connectivity options like PCIe 3.0, integrated USB 3.1, Thunderbolt 3, Intel Optane memory supports. These were available for those higher end and mid-ranged processors(not all) till now… But now lower and other mid-range laptops will also be able to support these features.

Also, these series of chipsets have got an increase in Cache memory, especially all the Y-series chipsets have 4MB of Cache memory.

The TDP of these laptops have been decreased massively, like the new U-series will just have 15 Watt TDP, & the Y-series will have 5 Watt TDP. This is a massive decrease in TDP for any mobile processor.

The Wi-Fi speed will considerably increase with the new processors: the U-series will be 12X faster… The U-series will have integrated Gigabit Wi-Fi within thin and light mainstream laptops…
