Zusammenfassung:Skylake's core, processor graphics, and system on chip were designed to meet a demanding set of requirements for a wide range of power-performance points. Its coherent fabric was designed to provide high-memory bandwidth from multiple memory sources. Skylake's power management, which includes Intel Speed Shift technology, was designed to provide the largest dynamic power range among prior Intel processors. The Intel Architecture core delivers higher power efficiency, higher frequency, and a wider dynamic power range, supporting smaller form factors. Skylake's Gen9 graphics provides new features designed to maximize energy efficiency and bring the best visual experience for gaming and media. Skylake offers a rich performance monitoring unit that enhances software developers' ability to optimize their applications.
