Techzone first in Sri Lanka to introduce 6th Generation Intel® Core Processors

September, 12, 2015

Close on the heels of the global roll out of 6th Generation Intel Core i7 and Core i5 Processors at IFA 2015 in Berlin last week, Techzone becomes the first to bring down these processors to Sri Lanka. The company announced that 6th Generation Intel Core i7 and Core i5 Processors are available in store with immediate effect.

Built on the new Skylake microarchitecture on Intel’s leading 14nm manufacturing process technology, 6th Gen Intel Core processors deliver up to two and a half times better performance, triple the battery life, and graphics that are 30 times better for seamless and smooth gaming and video experiences versus the average 5-year-old computer. They can also be half as thin and half the weight, have faster wake up time, and battery life that lasts virtually all day.

Collaboration during development between Intel and Microsoft has also helped optimise Windows 10 features like the Cortana personal digital assistant and the Hello login management system.

Indika de Zoysa, Country Business Manager for Intel Sri Lanka said, “I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Intel Technology Partner Techzone to be the fastest to bring to market devices based on 6th Generation Intel® Core Processors. I believe PC users, particularly those who want thin and light notebooks and 2-in-1s, will benefit most from the 6th Gen Core i7 and i5 technology.”

He added that SkyLake-based devices will have the best characteristics of tablets like long battery life, touch, fanless, and an app store with the best characteristics of a PC-like performance, multitasking, and large displays.

Other advances in Intel's RealSense Camera technology, when paired with the new processors, will allow users to scan and print objects in 3D, change backgrounds during video chats and take 3D selfies. The latest processors will also support wireless display, enabling users to more easily share computer content to TVs, monitors and projectors.

Mohamed Naushad, Chairman of Techzone said, “We wanted our customers to have access to the latest technology and with the 6th Gen Intel products help us achieve that. Together with Intel Team in Sri Lanka, we have made this possible within a couple of weeks of its release. And our prices are competitive with the rest of the countries where the products are available.”
