Intel Core M: Powering the launch of the latest chip

Overview 🔎

Intel launches a new version of their top-end processor every two years. For 2014, it was all about Core M. The 6th Generation Intel Core processors were built on a groundbreaking new 14nm manufacturing process, which meant more power from less energy, faster response times and significantly increased battery life.

This latest processor was purpose-built for mobile devices, and the 2 in 1 form factor was positioned to be the perfect alternative to multiple devices. We set out to clearly convey the key benefits, and engage users with a long-scroll page showcasing Core M’s power and versatility.
