In addition to the desktop and mobile Skylake-S, Skylake-H and Skylake-U series CPUs, Intel has also launched five 4.5W Core Y-series CPUs.

Aimed to be used in small-screen 2-in-1 detachables and convertibles, as well as Compute Stick devices, Intel's Core Y-series CPUs will pack quite a punch for their small 4.5W and 6W TDP. To be a part of Intel's new Core m7, Core m5 and Core m3 lineup, these CPUs will have a dual-core design with enabled Hyper-Threading as well as feature clocks ranging from 0.9GHz on the Core m3-6Y30 CPU, up to 1.2GHz on the Core m7-7Y75.

The entire lineup will Core Y-series lineup, which includes Core m7-6Y75, Core m5-6Y56, Core m5-6Y54, Core m3-6Y30 and Pentium 4405Y, will feature Intel HD Graphics 515, support for LPDDR3/DDR3L 1866/1600 memory, have 4MB of L3 cache and TDP of 4.5W, with cTDP ranging from 7W to 3.5W depending on the clock. The Pentium 4405Y SKU will lack Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology, have 2MB of L3 cache and slightly higher 6W TDP.

The Core m7-6Y75 will be able to hit 3.1GHz with maximum single-core Turbo and 2.9GHz with both cores enabled, which is quite a result considering its low TDP. Intel will also launch Core m7 and Core m5 SKUs with vPro technology as well.




As you can see from the slide, Intel aims to use these Core Y-series Core m5 and Core m3 chips on Compute Stick devices and with 4.5W TDP these will be perfect for such devices, while Core m7 chips will most likely end up in tablets or aforementioned 2-in-1 devices.
