Kirk Skaugen, senior vice president and general manager of Intel’s client-computing group, said at the Citi Global Technology Conference held on Tuesday September 8th 2015. “I can confidently say today, you can eliminate all your passwords today, if you buy a sixth-generation Core system.”
Skaugen was referring to the new sixth-generation Core chips that Intel released last week. Those chips power some of the latest Windows 10 devices that come with some of the new facial-recognition software, like Windows Hello. To enjoy the full functionality of Windows Hello, you also need Intel’s RealSense 3D Camera, which looks at multiple angles to detect the photo’s depth and heat to determine the user’s identity.
Intel Corporation introduced the 6th Generation Intel® Core™ processor family a few days from this conference, Sept. 1, 2015
The coolest new feature in Skylake, though, is a technology Intel calls Speed Shift. Before the sixth-gen Core CPUs, the operating system would be responsible for giving cues when more or less performance is needed and the processor would adjust its speed accordingly. That reaction would usually take 30ms, but now Intel has shifted the intelligence over to the processor and is allowing it to make the determination itself.
