INTEL HAS STARTED SHIPPING its first 14nm Core M Broadwell-Y mobile processor chips.
Due to appear in systems before the end of the year, the chips support production of ultra-thin laptops and tablets with twice the battery life for the same performance, Intel said.
Now in volume production, Intel's first 14nm processors are the Core M family, first disclosed at the Computex show in Taiwan in June. Codenamed Broadwell-Y, the chips enable fanless mobile designs less than 9mm thick, Intel claims, yet still offer the same level of performance that users have come to expect from a standard laptop or tablet.

These chips seem pretty nice. But, I wonder how successful will these tablets, and laptops will be since a lot of people are fine with tablets, and laptops which they already own.
There are also cheaper chips which cost only a few dollars from lesser known companies like AllWinner which are on Android and Linux based tablets, and laptops. Cheaper chips may not be as fast, but they are as thin, and can do most tasks like mobile gaming, e-mail, video playback, and social networking which the typical person does on a daily basis.
