Intel’s 8th generation Core U series has launched the i7-8565U, i5-8265U, and i3-8145U CPUs. Hyper-Threading is present in all SKUs and only the i3 has the dual-core design while both the i5 and the i7 have a 4-core design with the primary differentiator being the difference in clock speed. For the first time, they integrate a Gigabit Wi-Fi, which is used for thin and light mainstream notebooks. It can increase the network connection speed by up to 12 times.

As for the Y series, it comes with the Core i7-8500Y, i5-8200Y, and the m3-8100Y. All of these parts are dual-core in design with 4 threads and only 5 Watt TDP.

The performance of the PC based on the new processor can be up to 2 times higher than that of the PC 5 years ago. It is easy to play large games such as World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth and World of Tanks. Plus, the daily webpage browsing and a small content creation are more efficient than the previous generation.

The Lenovo Xiaoxin new notebook with the new U series processor is expected to support Dolby Vision HDR imaging and Dolby Atmos sound. Thus, it will become a super multimedia entertainment terminal.
