Intel has extended and refreshed its CPU mobile lineup with no less than ten new Core i7, Core i5 and Celeron chips including the new flagship Core i7-4940MX quad-core CPU working at 3.1GHz.
The new lineup includes five Core i7 CPUs, four Core i5 and a single Celeron chip. The most interesting is the new flagship Core i7-4940MX quad-core CPU clocked at 3.1GHz which replaces the older 3.0GHz clocked Core i7-4930X. The new Core i7-4940MX flagship features hyper-threading, has 8MB of L3 cache, comes with Intel's HD 4600 graphics and a US $1096 price tag.
In addition to the Core i7-4940MX, the Core i7 lineup also includes the Core i7-4610M, i7-4810MQ, i7-4860HQ, i7-4910MQ quad-core CPUs ranging from US $346 for the Core i7-4610M to US $568 for the Core i7-4910MQ. As noted earlier, the Core i5 lineup was refreshed with four new parts including the Core i5-4310M, i5-4310U, i5-4340M and i5-4360U. The last but not the least is Intel's new Celeron 2980U dual-core 1.6GHz clocked CPU with 2MB of L3 cache and US $107 price.
In case you missed it, the new Celeron as well as the Core i5-4360U, i5-4310U are new members of Intel's ultra-low voltage CPUs and most likely the ones we will see in most Ultrabooks or other thin and light notebooks.
