Y-series chips are the slowest and least power-hungry chip based on Intel's flagship architecture-go any lower and you get into Atom territory.

The first Broadwell chip to make it to market was Core M, also known as the Y series. What we're getting today, and what we'll see it inįurther Reading Quad-core and desktop Broadwell chips still MIA, expected “mid 2015” These systems should begin shipping to the public at some point in the next month or two. As CES rolls on, we'll hopefully get a chance to go hands-on with some new Broadwell systems and provide some hands-on impressions. Today we'll walk you through all of the products Intel is announcing and what kind of performance and feature improvements you can expect. Broadwell's strange rollout means we're getting mainstream and low-end mobile CPUs dropped on us all at once, but faster, more power-hungry quad-core chips destined for mobile and laptop workstations still aren't available. Intel usually starts with high-end CPUs and rolls out low-end ones later, once demand for the high-end chips falls a bit and manufacturing costs have come down. Today at CES in Las Vegas the company announced a total of 17 new dual-core processors across most of its consumer product lines-from Core i7 at the high end all the way down to Pentium and Celeron at the low end. Intel promised us more chips based on the new Broadwell architecture in early 2015, and today it's delivering on that promise.
