Intel looks to 'reinvent the desktop' with new chips
As part of its plan to 'reinvent the desktop', Intel has previewed a special unlocked 4th gen Intel Core processor codenamed Devil's Canyon.
Due for release in mid 2014, the chip includes improved thermal interface and CPU packaging materials for better overclocking and higher performance.
In addition, an 8-core, 16-thread Core processor called Extreme Edition, offering high performance and support for the DDR4 memory standard, will be made available in the second half of this year.
Commemorating more than 20 years of the Pentium brand, Intel has revealed plans for an Intel Pentium processor Anniversary Edition, featuring unlocked multipliers that allow the ability to increase the core and memory frequencies independently from the rest of the system.
As if that wasn't enough, plans for unlocked desktop versions of the upcoming 5th gen Intel Core processor with Iris Pro graphics, codenamed Broadwell, were also confirmed.
