Key Points:
-- Intel disclosed details of the microarchitecture of the Intel(R) Core(TM)
M processor, the first product to be manufactured using 14nm.
-- The combination of the new microarchitecture and manufacturing process
will usher in a wave of innovation in new form factors, experiences and
systems that are thinner and run silent and cool.
-- Intel architects and chip designers have achieved greater than two times
reduction in the thermal design point when compared to a previous
generation of processor while providing similar performance and improved
battery life.
-- The new microarchitecture was optimized to take advantage of the new
capabilities of the 14nm manufacturing process.
-- Intel has delivered the world's first 14nm technology in volume
production. It uses second-generation Tri-gate (FinFET) transistors with
industry-leading performance, power, density and cost per transistor.
-- Intel's 14nm technology will be used to manufacture a wide range of
high-performance to low-power products including servers, personal
computing devices and Internet of Things.
-- The first systems based on the Intel(R) Core(TM) M processor will be on
shelves for the holiday selling season followed by broader OEM
availability in the first half of 2015.
-- Additional products based on the Broadwell microarchitecture and 14nm
process technology will be introduced in the coming months.

"Intel's integrated model -- the combination of our design expertise with the best manufacturing process -- makes it possible to deliver better performance and lower power to our customers and to consumers," said Rani Borkar, Intel vice president and general manager of product development. "This new microarchitecture is more than a remarkable technical achievement. It is a demonstration of the importance of our outside-in design philosophy that matches our design to customer requirements."
"Intel's 14 nanometer technology uses second-generation Tri-gate transistors to deliver industry-leading performance, power, density and cost per transistor," said Mark Bohr, Intel senior fellow, Technology and Manufacturing Group, and director, Process Architecture and Integration. "Intel's investments and commitment to Moore's law is at the heart of what our teams have been able to accomplish with this new process."
