Intel showcases powerful new Skylake features

Intel i7 Skylake

Intel has revealed the full capabilities and features of its 6th-generation architecture.

The possible uses of Intel’s new chips range from mobile gaming platforms such as the Skull Canyon, to slimline devices like the HP Spectre.

This is down to one of the most useful features of Intel’s 6th Gen design – its compatibility with different form factors.

Intel is also focusing on Windows 10 functionality, integrating multi-factor authentication into Windows 10 using a security feature called TrueKey.

This means that Skylake chips are the most secure chip ever made, implementing the concept of “You are your password”, said the company.

The company plans to replace its 1 billion 3-year-old PCs currently in circulation with lighter, sleeker devices powered by the latest processors.

These Intel-powered devices will focus on accessibility, adding new mechanics such as a multi-factor authentication login system, and wireless docking and projection. Wireless charging for future devices was also punted.
