How is the Broadwell CPU in it compared to Haswell chips in performance? It might say Core i7 but I thought Broadwell was basically a warmed over Atom processor. Performance from Broadwell on inexpensive tablets and laptops has not been great from what I read (battery life is of course quite good).
- rayiner 12y agoBroadwell is the 14nm shrink of Haswell. The inexpensive Broadwell parts haven't had steller performance, but that's because they're TDP limited to 4.5W, or Atom territory.
- rinon 12y agoYou're probably thinking of the M series Broadwell chips. The Core i series isn't really out yet, but I think it should be comparable (and more efficient) than the Haswell i7 chips...
- mehrdada 12y agoI think you are talking about Bay Trail, which powers the low end Chromebooks and is a replacement for the Haswell Celeron, not Broadwell in general. The new Bay Trail chips are indeed horribly slow compared to last gen Haswell Celerons (i.e. the one in Acer C720).
- tdicola 12y agoAhh, that's probably it. Thanks!
