Tencent Digital (Wen Xin) According to PCWorld website reports, HP may have tried, but in the end still did not keep the secret of the unreleased Kaby Lake and Apollo Lake chips for Intel.
In an unpublished maintenance document for the PC Pavilion x360 m1, HP inadvertently revealed some details of Intel's new chips.
Kaby Lake, the seventh-generation Intel Core chip PC, will be available this quarter. Kaby Lake is Intel's Skylake follow-up product, which has improved computing and multimedia capabilities.
Asustek announced the Katherine Transformer 3 combo PC in June, but did not disclose details of the chip. Lenovo and Acer will announce the deployment of Kaby Lake’s PC products at the Berlin International Consumer Electronics Show at the end of this month.
PCWorld stated that the Pavilion x360 m1 variant can be used as a notebook or a tablet PC with a dual-core Core i3-7100U processor clocked at 2.40 GHz. This chip consumes 15 watts and integrates 3MB of cache.
The Core i3-7100U allows people to glance at the capabilities of other Kaby Lake chips. It integrates the HD Graphics 620 graphics chip and can run DirectX 12 games with built-in HD video decoding capabilities. Intel has stated that Kaby Lake can play 4K video.
The Pavilion x360 m1 can also be equipped with Pentium or Celeron chips codenamed Apollo Lake. The performance ratio of the two Apollo Lake chips is quite high, and the power consumption is only 6 watts, which means long battery life.
The Apollo Lake chip uses the Goldmont architecture, which was originally developed for Atom chips.
According to PCWorld, the Apollo Lake chip for the Pavilion x360 m1 includes the Pentium N4200 with a clock speed of 1.1 GHz (up to 2.5 GHz) or Celeron 2.4 GHz with a clock speed of up to 2.4 GHz. They have integrated 2MB L2 cache.
Other configurations indicate that the Pavilion x360 m1 is a low-cost PC with a 11.6 x 768 resolution 11.6-inch display that supports DDR4 or DDR3 memory - this is related to the chipset being configured. In addition, it also supports traditional mechanical hard disks or solid state hard disks. Surprisingly, the Pavilion x360 m1 only uses 802.11n instead of the latest 802.11ac WiFi. It only comes with USB 3.0 and 2.0 interfaces and no Type-C interface.
